Interesting, this is the first I've ever heard anything negative about the Wavebird (other than lack of rumble). I played a shitton of GameCube in my younger years and never had any of the problems you described, or heard of anyone else having those problems.

I just looked it up and the Wavebird has 9ms or input latency--less than a frame. Regular GameCube controller has 4ms, so only 5ms added. So yeah, maybe too much for competitive smash? But negligible for anything else.

The secondary market also seems positive on the Wavebird: the cheapest (complete or working) one I can find on eBay right now is $60.
