My first impressions of the remote are very positive. It’s one of the most solid controllers I’ve seen. And surprisingly for being lightweight, it feels like I could toss it against a wall with little damage. The only weak points I noticed with the with entire system is:
-Clear plastic clip on nunchuck(sp?) that the safety strap is run though could break if it was bent at any severe angle.
-Clear plastic support base could break with abuse. If you even attach it.
-Negative battery terminals on the remote seem a bit on the cheap side. But that could be due to the fact they used more of a rotary style spring to hold the batteries in tighter.
Besides that the build quality seems to be top-notch. The machine it self is about the size of 3 DVD cases stacked. The only noises from it that I’ve heard are from the drive itself are on the initial reading of the disc.
