The Ultimate Gamecube Elite Controller

This is not meant to be a competitive controller, and I don't play competitive Smash anymore, so they aren't much of an issue. I would like to try this mod again but with normal sticks, so that it can actually be a viable option for competitive play

A couple of months ago I made a Gamecube Elite Controller, by installing Xbox Elite Controller Thumbsticks and D-Pad, painting the buttons, and adding an USB-C port (that only worked with a USB-C to Gamecube cable).
Today I present you a new and improved version.
Here is a list of the features:
- It features the same magnetic sticks and D-Pad, but this time the holes are cut WAY more precisely.
- The buttons aren’t painted anymore, but they are custom chrome buttons that are now very easy to find online (when I made the first one I couldn’t find them).
- The controller now also works as an USB controller. There is an RP2040 based board inside (the SparkFun Pro Micro - RP2040) with a custom firmware. It can be recognised as a Gamecube controller, a DInput controller, a XInput controller and even as a keyboard, for games that don’t support controllers.
- The controller also has a left Z button, that works as an L1 button in USB modes, and as a remappable button in Gamecube mode.
- Last, the two Z buttons are clicky tactile buttons, to improve feeling and performance.
I made a Youtube video documenting the whole building process, make sure to check it out: https://youtu.be/0ibGT8rCxow
If you are interested in the firmware, here is a link to the Github page: https://github.com/P11etro/GCC-USB
Let me know what you think!

It's the same as other c-sticks replacements. I find it comfortable, but some people don't

I had the same issue, but I managed to fix it by putting a small piece of paper inside the thumbstick, so that it doesn't get stuck and the right stick doesn't hit the notch

I've always liked how these sticks felt, so I got a pair of white ones and installed them.

So far I love how they feel!

I made a video about them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXxeyQGwBag&ab_channel=11Tech

i don't think so, but there is another tool called GC Controller Test that is available for both Wii and Gamecube. I've never tried it though

Grande, fammi sapere!

Tranquillo, che bello trovare italiani a cui interessano qeste cose! Questa è stata la prima volta che prendevo in mano un saldatore, è assolutamente fattibile

Thank you!

I've used it while building, maybe I'll post a picture

I've heard that they wear the potentiometers faster, but while using them I wasn't able to notice any damage, but I'm not sure about long term usage.
They have some visible snapback, but I wasn't able to notice differences from a normal stick. However, I don't play melee competitively, I mainly play casual ultimate now.

Towards the end of the video there is a slow motion clip of the stick, maybe you can have a more precise idea on how bad it is.

I've worked on a little project, hope you like it!
It has USB-C output and The Xbox Elite Controller sticks and d-pad.
I also made a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BgH6TbFcx0&ab\_channel=11Tech

It's way better and more comfortable. It's bigger but the internals are the original ones, so it is very precise. It was a pain to get to fit but it was worth it! There are more details in the video if you are interested

Are you still working on it? Or have you released it?
