Nyko AirFlo Gamecube Controller Our Rating:

This Gamecube controller from Nyko is one of a kind. It is an AirFlo controller, designed to keep your hands cool and dry while playing games.

If your hands become sweaty during game play, all you have to do is flick the switch on the controller to turn on a small fan in the back. This pulls air all throughout the controller and blows it out little holes around the controller, keeping your hands cool.

The controller features two fan settings, and all of the normal buttons on a Gamecube controller, a rumble feature, plus an extra “M” button that parallels the “Z” button. It is also comfortable in your hands, and the buttons and joysticks press easily. It also has a long cord, gives you extended reach from the console.

The one thing we disliked about the controller is that the grips on both joysticks came off easily. After a few months of play, the cover on the left joystick came right off, and the rubber material of the “C-stick” came apart and fell off. This is only minor and hardly noticeable however, and the controller still operates fine.
