Works great to extend gamecube controller cord
When the gamecube came out, we all had 19, 20 or 24 inch CRT televisions. The standard 6 foot gamecube controller cord was acceptable. But now that we have these 50+ inch TV screens, 6 feet just doesn't cut it.I've used 2 of these cables for about 6 months to play games on my gamecube and wii. Everyday I wrap the cords back up around the controller and tuck it away. All that twisting of the cords has had no effect on the connectors. They operate just great. The 2 pack was enough for me to sit about 15 feet back from the console and still have slack.I'd recommend this to any gamer that uses their gamecube controller on their wii or gamecube and wants to sit back a bit from their TV. Their "may" be a wireless alternative to a gamecube controller for these older games, but I couldn't beat the price. I didn't bother even looking for an alternative.

Works as advertised, great deal
Works exactly as advertised. Bought these along with a 2-pack of controllers for the GameCube, as my TV is a ways away from my couch and i wanted to play multi-player with my wife. The controller plugs into the extension cable about as snugly as the controller (and the other end of the extension cable) plugs into the GameCube, which is to say plenty snug enough to keep it in while moving the controller and cable around semi-violently, but not snug enough to keep a controller attached after being thrown across the room (just an example). One major concern I did have when I bough these was the possibility of lag due to the signal from the controller having to travel farther. This concern was unwarranted, as I have noticed no difference in response time either way. On durability, I've had these for almost 2 years and they haven't shown any noticeable signs of wear. Throw in a reasonable price ($4 when I bought it from Amermedia in 2012) and this is a heck of a deal for people that need a product like this. I would recommend.

Fully functional, but handle with care!
These extensions are perfect - exactly what my husband was looking for! Unfortunately, after the first couple of uses, he noticed that on one of the cords, some of the wiring was exposed at the juncture between the cord and the part that plugs into the GameCube itself. Never one to blame the product first, he says it might be the way that he coiled the cord... however, he stores *all* of his controller cords the same way (and I my laptop & phone cords as well - in a wide circle) and we have yet to experience this issue with them (most of which we have had for years). My concern is that this happened so soon after purchasing and using them.Ultimately, it does still work, so we'll probably just wrap it with a bit of electrical tape and call it a day - just handle with care!

Gamecube controller extension cables
My nephew wanted an older gamecube game to play in our Wii. Once I purchased the game for him, we found out that the Wii controllers won't work with the gamecube games when played in the Wii. After doing a little research, I realized we needed the classic gamecube controller and a gamecube memory card. Once we got both of those, the gamecube game that we bought finally worked! After playing the game for a bit while being "tethered" to the Wii system because of the cable for the controller, we decided we needed extension cables to have a bit more freedom. So we got these controller extension cables. He is happy!

Great for people that need longer controller cables
I bought 2 sets of this product (so 4 cables total). I was not disappointed. They all work perfectly and they accomplished what I bought them for. I have 2 big screen TV's and the 2 rooms I use for these have couches that sit back a lot further than the standard gamecube controller cord would reach. Hook 1 of these extensions up to each controller and problem solved. I also like the length because I still had room to go back farther but this allowed each cord to rest on the ground so there is less of a tripping hazard for those people that never fail to walk in front of everyone and don't pay attention to the cords. They even work for Bongos so that is a nice feature to be able to move the bongos back as well for those games.

Hey, they work!
This isn't a particularly deep product. They are wire extenders to be used for the Nintendo Gamecube controllers. They come in a pack of two which is fantastic for the cheap price. They extend approximately 6 feet in length, and with the already fairly long wire on the Gamecube controller already, these come in handy if you need to sit somewhat far away in a regular sized room. I have had no trouble with these at all as they function properly and connection just as easily to any controller. Getting these beats paying the higher price for the Wavebird wireless Gamecube controllers. I'm on a budget so I'll just stick with a wired controller, no big deal.

Poor Poor Quality
Well, one of the cords lasted almost a day, the other is still working, however, I had to secure it myself due to the lack of quality on this product.The wiring is not shielded, but so far, no interference. The wiring goes into the connection harness, however, it is a push through hole and has no anchoring. The only thing holding the connector to the wiring is the soldering points. I have not even put any pressure on the wire, and it fell apart. The other I taped up so that the wiring would not be constantly pulling on the connection points.I pulled apart the one that broke and found the connectors to be made of a poor quality that had oxidation and corrosion. The wire guage is so small that a soldering iron will melt right through the wiring. 3 of the connections were broken at the pin/wire soldering point, and the others were broken pins themselves. Spend a little more and get a quality product.

Good Purchase
For people who still have a GameCube, but don't have a wireless controller (don't bother, you'll be disappointed because none of them come with the damn adapter,) these cords are fantastic. I can take my controller all over the house with them if I please, and they don't cause lag or short out to any degree I can tell. They're not shoddily-made and have lasted well so far. I'd buy them again.
