Well, I have a black 'Cube controller that I've had since the system launch. It started getting a little loose with up/down movement so I called Nintendo(This was back at the end of April). But I have been soo damn lazy and haven't even sent it in yet. Already did once because of the B button becoming more stiff. Avid SSB:M players, you know what I mean

. But I have a spice one now(since April 20th, remember it well because I bought it while in NYC). And its worked fine.
