LETS FUCKING GOOO

Finally I have them all

I've been using my emerald blue controller for most of my gamecube gaming sessions since I picked it up a few years back, and just recently found a lodgenet gamecube controller in good condition for a really cheap price. The keyboard controller I've wanted for years but never took the time to seek one out for a reasonable price. I dont care too much for the box so it was just a matter of finding one that wasnt too yellowed for under $200, and it's finally here! After a major disassembly and deep clean, the gamecube keyboard controller takes its place in my collection! Right now I've pretty much got everything I want for the system, and gamecube's really the only console I'd wanna collect for, so anything else I find for a good price and pick up is just bonus padding!

I bought an 8bitdo NGC controller mod-kit!

Bought me an 8bitdo Gamecube conversion kit and used a for-parts indigo controller off of eBay for the donor parts and ABXYLRZ/Start buttons. What do I think of it, Tumblr?

Marketed as completely solderless, not really true; soldering together the rumble motor to the supplied connector is the best way to go about it. You could PROBABLY do it solderless if you were really patient and had needlenose pliers or thick tweezers? What they do is give you a slide-in-LEGO connector with its wires exposed so you can yank the original motor out of the back of the controller, twist-tie the corresponding wires together, and then heat-shrink wrap your connections for insulation. Soldering the wires together is way less frustrating and much faster. Technically solderless, not practically solderless or perfectly solderless

The hall effect analog sticks are really really really good. They feel borderline identical to original Gamecube sticks and come with replacement caps that are virtually identical to the OEM originals

The Z button feels more tactile than an original, which is actually a good thing

The analog shoulders do work and use an identical mechanism to what was on the original Gamecube, but it's a bit of a bugger to get them working without the Retro Receiver (sold separately) and a Gamecube controller port. The controller only supports d-input and Switch input, the latter of which mimics a Pro Controller and so doesn't have analog input. D-input meanwhile has working analogs over wireless but not the way they're detected by Windows by default. Dolphin picks up the analog-capable controller input as "WGInput" and cannot find a rumble motor

In keeping with the Pro Controller mimic there are a couple button binds on that mode so you don't lose Home button functionality. It lists a combo for the "Back" button but I'm assuming they mean the screenshot button

The barrel jack replacing the original wire is a very clever combination of the wireless receiver and filling that space originally occupied. My kingdom for a USB-C port, but a barrel jack is the next best thing and they give you a USB-to-barrel cable for charging

No real input lag that I can feel

I like the touch that the PCB and associated bits come in an oversized anti-static bag, the intention is you dump the old PCB and cable into this bag so you can revert the controller back to an original if you want. The mod is fully reversible

Considering that rumble doesn't fucking work over d-input anyways, you can buy the 8bitdo mod kit and an Extremerate Gamecube controller shell off of Amazon and have a completely functional, fully assembled Gamecube controller for around $45, or you could buy an XYAB Gamecube controller for its shell and buttons to knock a few bucks off and (I assume?) keep the rumble motor

I think if you're fully aware of the caveats of this conversion kit (no X-input and no support will come, a few quirks, need a sold-separately wireless receiver to use it on original hardware, also need a Mayflash adapter or other PC-Gamecube adapter for out-of-the-box rumble and analogs with the receiver on PC) it's hard to beat $25 for breathing new life into your dead or for-parts Gamecube controller without changing how it feels. Adding an Extremerate shell or XYAB controller on top of it for $15-$20, in the event you don't have a donor controller, makes a $40-$45, authentic Gamecube controller in 2024 a pretty attractive proposition. Just be sure you're setting it to WGInput if you're going to use it for Dolphin.

I want it.

Only true Gamers use the Nintendo GameCube Keyboard Controller.
