Mad Catz stuff is of questionable quality, but at least it's reasonably durable... my GC Mad Catz controller works acceptably after four years. It works about as well as it ever has, really... of course, that means that it's still got a terrible dpad, somewhat iffy buttons at times, and unprecise analog sticks that make playing some kinds of games (like F-Zero GX) hard, but... it was like that when I got it. Well, except for the buttons thing, but that's minor... :)
Of course, it's vastly inferior to a real controller, but they try to make up for that by being quite a bit cheaper... still doesn't really make it worth it, but it's something. They clearly know that they could never match Nintendo's quality, so instead they try for price... :)
