There isn’t a lot of testing that can be done with the Bubble Chuk rather than trying it out and comparing it with the Original Wii Nunchuk. In comparison with the weight of the original Wii Nunchuk, the Bubble Chuk is noticeably lighter. In regards to usability the Bubble Chuk fits easier in your hand and with the larger joystick the user has more control.
Personally, I would prefer to use the Bubble Chuk as it is smaller in length, easier to hold and the joystick is much more user friendly due to the bigger surface area. We used the Bubble Chuk and the original Wii Nunchuk at a party over New Year and the feedback towards the Bubble Chuk was pleasing. People generally found it easier to use. Due to the fact there were different shaped and sized hands using the Bubble Chuk at this time, it meant this was a good gage as to whether or not it was a success. The general consensus was that it was a decent product.

Conclusion
Speedlink have done well in their efforts to come up with a product that caters for a wider range of gamers. Sure enough the design of the Bubble Chuk only differs slightly but these changes will invite those that find the Nunchuk too small to enjoy the game a bit more. Available in an assortment of colours, it brings a bit of spice to the mediocre black or white controllers typically found with your Nintendo Wii.
The Speedlink Bubble Chuk has an RRP of £15.99 which is a little more than the standard Nunchuk. But you can pickup the Bubble Chuk for around £12 if you look hard enough. I think the larger buttons and choice of colours will perhaps win most over. It\'s been fun testing the Bubble Chuk and I can definitely say that it deserves our Gold award.
