As you can see it is only half as massive as a traditional 64 controller.
Yet it fits wonderfully even into full sized hands and is natural to use.
These pics are one thing but playing one is believing. One large pic:
And yet I have to say having this now is truely a dream to behold :-D

-The d-pad is less reach than Gamecube's while the Thumb Analog Controller is the same as GC's and smoother to use.
-The thumb above is an idea, believe it, its easy to use this d-pad, easier than a GameCube.
-Also the dpad is of better quality than the original stock n64 controllers.
-Shoulder buttons = L & R on top and Z's on bottom both sides

I can sell you one now rather than waiting much longer with importing, they do sometimes appear and the price paid is the same after everything adds up. Of course they're no longer produced and Less New ones exist than have already been sold since. Its a Japan Domestic Market only product so the price too is basically for the controller, import here includes bank transfer fees routing for Japan Banks, shipping from a liquidator, importing fees, shipping to me ect. no profit is made here these are what I have left right now after getting new ones where I could, a few I bought for myelf and some extras to pass along over a period of time now.

that is the coolest/weirdest looking N64 controller I have ever seen. I'm trying to wonder how do you hold it for when you're playing Killer Instinct or MK Trilogy??

Ghouls N Ghosts when you see it for the first time in person
even after seeing a pic, its always a shock to see how small it really is...
I can use my left thumb to press the B and A buttons on the fly, play one handed.
I'll go so far as to say the dpad is more comfortable/ easy to use as PSX's dpad, sure is.

Don't know how much longer new ones will be available,
The rest of the year maybe who knows. Most of the popular colors are rare
unfortunately its expensive but having one... Mario Kart is like a brand new game @_@
You might agree as some have there's a professional feel to it like this is a nextgen controller.
And thats quite a different experience altogether. Its amazing
