(Part 2) Best wii gamepads & standard controllers according to redditors

Here, you might want to take a look at this, it's an official Nintendo brand red nunchuck from Japan where red is available just like black and white units are. This is an import, but the hardware is compatible with Wiis and Wii Us from any region. Since it's official I would hope that this helps complete your idea, but since I haven't ordered one yet I can't confirm that the insides match up perfectly. I would assume that the plastic mold would be the same for all the different colors.

EDIT: I live in the US and actually bought this CCP from Amazon.co.uk and can confirm that this red Classic Controller is a real Nintendo brand controller. The import fee makes it fairly expensive, but if you really want to make the most out of this idea, this is another project for your collection.

Dude, honestly. I bought a pro controller online that I didn't know was third party. its this one:

I didn't know it was third party because the seller labeled it as a first party one. But honestly? It works just fine. It feels just like the pro controller, and it does what it needs to. The battery life isn't as long, but hey, its not too big of a deal.

The good news:

There is a wireless third-party controller like the Wii U Pro Controller or a 360 controller that can be used with the Wii, and apparently can be used in place of either a Wii Remote and nunchuck or a Wii Classic Controller, depending on the position of a little switch on the back of it.

The bad news:

As it isn't a GameCube controller with a GC plug, it won't work with GameCube games.

It also apparently isn't very good. Read the negative reviews!

The Wii logo. You want this you DO NOT want this OR THIS

There is even a couple sold at walmart that look like official NES classic controllers, SAY they work with the classic but DO NOT. Best thing you can do, buy official or read the reviews/comments

The Wii had even more crapware than the original DS, but I finally got one this year for like $50 (USD) and found out it actually has a lot of good games if you dig a little bit. The fact that it can be 100% soft-hacked helps as well; there are a million emulators made for it. I still use my Sony PSP for exactly that reason, so having a fully hacked home console I can use for multiplayer (which is hard/impossible to do with a PSP's emulators) is really nice, especially since I've got one of the older models with the GameCube controller ports (though even if I didn't, a generic 3rd-party classic/pro controller is cheap and easy to come by)... :)

I don't have huge hands and I can do it but it's not comfortable. Also my muscle memory is more attune to the YB running than the BA on the 3DS. I can do it on the NES but not as comfortable on the 3ds. Like whoever made this doesn't understand my problems

I mean look at that angle! Is that even comfortable for you?
I'm really happy I can remap buttons on the Wii U VC.

Give me a second and I'll get you a link to what I have. The only problem with this set up is that it required Wiimotes, which I only have 2 of.

That's what I bought, the price seems to have gone up, but for about $6 you can still get it.

I assume it's just because the the unofficial controllers are just poorly made. I recommend not buying 3rd party controllers unless the product already has a good reputation.

Try googling around, someone might know what's wrong with your controller but the time investment might not be worth it.

A Wiimote controller so that my girlfriend and I can finally play together

it may be shit, but its cheap and it may at least last until you get your pro. no reviews though so its quite likely it may not last long, as you probably would have heard of it before, but for £7 it may just be worth it until Amazon restocks.
