Personally I wouldn't trust unofficial third party power supplies like that.

Actually, i got my Wii component cables from there for 4 dollars compared to the 20 dollar official one, and it works great!

edit: Didn't see the "power supplies" part..

Well I wouldn't get third party cables either as in my personal experience and from reading various forum posts over the years the quality is usually not great and they tend to be unreliable. The exception would be officially licenced products. Third party equivilants are typically reverse engineered and not that good.

The worst that can happen is that it could damage the Gamepad. If you're happy to take that risk then so be it but personally I'm not. I've heard reports in the past of unofficial power supplies damaging electronic devices. That's something that won't be covered under the warranty and obviously once the warranty has expired you would have to pay out of your pocket anyway.

I never heard of that before not saying it couldn't happen but how many people do you personally know.

Depending on what country you are in most civilised countries have standards for electronics. It would have to pass a certain safety standard to be released.

I'll use third party accessories, but only if I have to.

I don't know of anyone personally but I've read reports of it happening in various forums all be it rarely. At the end of the day third party accessories especially those not licenced are never the same quality as the official equivilants. If other people want to take the risk then so be it but I choose not to.

I agree with ya on third party is most of the time garbage, but the cables i would most likely be willing to give them a shot
