    I wanted to avoid saying this in the video. This mod is fun and I recommend it if you would really like to convert your Wavebird to a Bluetooth controller
    But a fellow Modder Loopj, is working on the world’s first reproduction receiver/dongle for the original controller. Making it much more affordable than the original receiver and probably this mod.

    It's a very clean mod; I've done this on my normal controllers and the only bit of soldering I had to worry about was the rumble motors. You should be able to add the once missing rumble functionality back to the wavebird with a replacement rumble motor, but I'm not sure where it'd fit as the cavity for it was removed for the battery socket.

      Some modder created a repro wavebird receiver

    Im surprised no one has reverse engineered the wavebird dongle

      @@onometre thankfully somebody made a repro wavebird dongle, his goal is to hopefully release them this year. I can imagine it was difficult to make due to the RF technology being ancient compared to Bluetooth.

    I wonder if you move the charging port to where the battery compartment was.

      I haven’t had to charge the controller yet but I think when it’s time, I’ll just stick a retractable charger cable through the battery compartment area. I cut a hole there with a dremel anyways
