Hey man I know your always giving to the community so I thought I'd give back... If you ever need a change of a TH-cam icon I made this one imgur.com/SF6YaGm
YES! So many people have been waiting for this, myself included. I have heard multiple people have problems with sticky A buttons so having a video showing disassembly as well as mods is perfect and I can send people here when they need to fix their buttons.
Cheers! I know I was super pumped about it once it was all said and done. There is a lot that can be done here and really this is just scratching the surface :)
Never understood why Nintendo /Power A always released basic versions of the gamecube controller and never did anything to "spice up" the controller like you did. Looks Amazing
They really shoulda slapped hd rumble in it i woulda took it before the pro controller anyday for all games since gamecube was my first console 😂😂 plus the A button placement for the switch just feels weird since ive played a lotta PlayStation and Xbox over the years and found it hellaaaaa hard to get used to the a button placement 😂😂😂😂
I've been using this controller for months now and love it, however, in my admittedly heavy use of the thing one issue has come up that should be noted. While at first both sticks did feel stiff when right out of the box they will gradually get looser with play, and in my case it has gotten to the point where the primary left joystick has issues starting in neutral. It hasn't resulted in ghosting inputs and honestly it might just be the mold for the stick cap is worn, but there is definitely some jiggle or wobble from simply lightly shaking the controller, on top of a pretty loud squeaking sound. I've been hoping to see if I can just buy some new stick boxes and solder them in, but I've yet to see a guide on what stick boxes are compatible with this controller specifically.
You're not the 1st to mention this. I'll see what I can figure out on that front. I'd love to so another one of these for sure and that would be a nice tidy bit to add in!
I've gotten really interested in modding GameCube controllers recently. I just wanted to let you know that your videos have been the best I've found. I also love that you link all the tools you use in your videos. My spring break is coming up soon and I am plan on spending the whole time learning to mod. Gonna buy all the tools I need and start modding. Can't wait. Excited for more videos!
Wow the controller looks amazing! One thing I would like to tell powerA to improve their controllers is fix the snapback, every controller for the switch I’ve tried has it and it really messes me up. Anyways great video, congratulations to whoever wins this beautiful controller!
Very interesting mod, I personally own the older revision of the controller so I had to manually mod it to have shorter press with my triggers. I hope Power A make more revisions on their wireless game cube controllers to make it the best 3rd party alternative.
I've been looking into modding a lot recently and there are a number of people I've come across, but you do some of the more straightforward explanations in all of this -- a vacuum chamber makes so much sense, but I don't think I've seen a single other person use one of those at all when it comes to casting! Thanks for hosting this give away, this would be great to keep along the number of things I plan on doing!
This is just the video I've been looking for since I got this controller last year. I haven't used it much due to not liking the feel of the buttons or the sticky A button and have always wondered if it could be modded. Thanks for this video man keep it up.
Thank you very much! I agree best of luck to everyone, this was a lot of fun to make and it made me want to do another one at some point in the future!
I've used one of these in the past as a substitute to my wired GameCube controller for when an adapter isn't available. It's always worked very well for me and I've never had any major issues with it. The mod looks great and adds a lot to it. I especially like the red accents.
I absolutely love the green/black aesthetic of the buttons and to top it all off the red buttons in the middle and for A look amazing! I'm especially impressed that you made a mold and personalized buttons just to make the controller look nicer. Good job man, definitely won't be the last that I see of your channel!
Just wanted to say I loved this video. Thanks for showing the insides of the controller. Very helpful... Also at 6:30 when "Montage Mode" hits, that song in the background is an audio version of the theme song for Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears, lol.
this looks so slick, i love it, also, thank you so much for the gamecube controller buying guide, i just found a whole gamecube and controller bundle with all cables for 40 dollars thanks to your tips!
I just started watching you and you motivate me to start modding my own gamecube controller, melee is gonna be even sicker with those thanks for everything you do!
That controller is among my all time favorites for the switch. I didn’t realize they made a revision with shorter throw shoulder buttons. I’ll have to pick one up now. I’m going to have to check out your other content to see how you make those custom buttons. Love it!
that controller looks so sick! love the touch of the red A button. dope stuff definitely never seen a controller be modded like this before with custom buttons.
I have been modding the original version of this controller by putting a machine screw in the trigger to plug it and give it a shorter action. Its cool to see that the creators fixed it themselves.
real nice video. I really like all the experimentation you went through to see if there was any lag, felt kinda like watching someone test the timing on an engine.
I appreciate it! I actually went back and did some more work to the 3D printed part to make it even better as compared to what I showed in the video. I am going to have to release it as soon as I have it perfect.
Nicely done, I was thinking the buttons were bought off online, and thought people genuinely liked this controller enough to start doing custom parts. Hoping to give it a good home!
Cool mods, I've been wanting to get into controller modding for a while and finding your channel will definitely be a great place to start. Keep up the good content!
The look of the modded controller is so nice. Also I will say, I have been using the wireless controller for months on months now and though sometimes it drifts, it’s an easy, put out batteries, put them back in fix
Really liking these new Gamecube style controllers becoming suitable replacements for the original OEM ones. Goodness knows we've been needing new alternatives for our aging hardware.
I’ve tried so many purchasable color mod buttons and 90% of them have been Garbo, I’m impressed with your ability my friend, but you may have open my eyes to wireless controllers, glad in works well!
Would have been cool if they used original parts for the sticks :(. I've bought a few replacement sticks, so I could replace the yellow stick with a standard grey one, but it kinda scrapes against the side of the plastic when installed :(. I should get some good ones and some trigger plugs for my gc oem controllers. Is there a way to modify the original cg controller with a home button?

Cool controller,enjoyed the mod process for this one.I had seen your other videos prior to this and always wondered if the Power A Wireless Gamecube Controller has a similar structure that of the original controller.Great video I enjoyed it.

hey could you sell the thumb stick plugs, that's something I would be really interested in and i think others would too

@@RockerGaming Sweet I would love to see more mods for these in the future!
This doesnt show how to fix the A button.
@@kylebrennan6028 I meant it shows how to take it apart. Fixing a sticky a button is easy from there using a file/nail file/sand paper.
@@x9x9x9x9x9 honestly wish they made custom buttons for this thing. And the button sticks because it isnt tall enough to stay above the grooves

This is a really cool mod, I love the umbreon aesthetic. Great job!
Thank you!! I was super happy with the end result!!!
That is honestly so sick, Nintendo should definitely release official themed controllers like that
been using the purple wireless controller-- it's held up well over 300+ hrs of use!

That controller looks AWESOME, your channel deserves more support. Good luck to everyone for the giveaway!
if he would sell the buttons he made he’d make a decent amount
I would buy several sets if I could.
Of money*
there’s websites that have them for i think like
15 already
The way you customize your controllers is amazing.
Very interesting mod, I personally own the older revision of the controller so I had to manually mod it to have shorter press with my triggers.
I hope Power A make more revisions on their wireless game cube controllers to make it the best 3rd party alternative.
I agree. I spoke to them about the thumbsticks and c stick and hope they make that change at some point. It's a really great 3rd party controller
Thanks for the internal review, love seeing what's customisable on the inside
God, those buttons make this thing look even more gorgeous, and I'd love to have some of those little things you use to let it use official gc sticks!
He put them on sale! I love this channel.

Thank you! I'll definitely get more tutorials up here soon. I want to revisit molding and casting one more time!
That controller looks cool! I think a shiny variant of this would look good too!
It was awesome to see the internals. The mods power a made to the triggers seems revolutionary
“Umbreum”
Hahaha seriously
This is just the video I've been looking for since I got this controller last year. I haven't used it much due to not liking the feel of the buttons or the sticky A button and have always wondered if it could be modded. Thanks for this video man keep it up.
I wish everyone luck for the giveaway and the controller turned out nice 👍 you really have a good taste in colors

This is seriously super cool! Great work on the controller. Can’t wait to binge watch your other mods. Keep up the excellent work man!

@@RockerGaming it's one of my old faves too man. Love your work.
Great job with video and mod! Haven’t heard much ppl modding the PowerA - I’ve been waiting from someone to post something about this!
I’ve been waiting for a video on the powerA GameCube controller. Love the scheme you went with!
I Honeslty just love GameCube controller mods, idk why they feel so satisfying to watch
this looks so slick, i love it, also, thank you so much for the gamecube controller buying guide, i just found a whole gamecube and controller bundle with all cables for 40 dollars thanks to your tips!

Word. I couldnt agree more!
Dude this controller mode looks absolutely amazing great work
Yet another CLEAN controller coming from you. Keep up the work man, really love to see what you'll make next.
That button job is absolutely gorgeous, it just heightens how great the controller looks and brings it up to an 11. Love the look!
Seeing your mods always inspire me! Thank you so much!
Great to see Power A sending you products, hope you get more opportunities like this one.
This is my first time finding ur Chanel and I love what you do and now look to get into controller modding myself! Thank you
🙌🙌🙌 glad you found it and welcome aboard!!
Nice, really like the wireless fix. And the way the buttons compliment the Umbreon controller really came together nicely!!
Much appreciated! I was super happy with the end result. Hard to mess up when the color pallet was served on a silver platter :)
real nice video. I really like all the experimentation you went through to see if there was any lag, felt kinda like watching someone test the timing on an engine.
I've been looking at this controller for a while now. Great review!
Amazing build! I’m obsessed with all forms of GameCube controllers. I gotta have this one
That was genuinely awesome i have had the thought of getting a GC controller but I lack the funds and this video honestly made me think about it again
Yoooo you went above and beyond to make those GC sticks work with that controller. It looks so great!
I appreciate it! I actually went back and did some more work to the 3D printed part to make it even better as compared to what I showed in the video. I am going to have to release it as soon as I have it perfect.
This thing is awesome. I love the slight shimmer to the buttons
This is awesome man. Keep up the good work. Love to see tasteful mods.
Nicely done, I was thinking the buttons were bought off online, and thought people genuinely liked this controller enough to start doing custom parts.
Hoping to give it a good home!
Thanks for the content, really enjoy the mods and overall vid/audio production is awesome.
Custom buttons for the PowerA came out dope, love the color scheme
I was skeptical when I first saw these controllers. Now I’m ready to buy one thanks to you. Love the mods you do and can’t wait for more content
Wow, this looks amazing. I have been looking into mods for this controller for a while and that looks great!
thank you sir! There is still more that could be done here for sure, what do you think, worth a follow-up video at some point in the future?
@@RockerGaming I would love to see a followup at some point, what do you think could be done?
Nice mod and I enjoyed watching your video.
You've got a new sub 😉
Excellent job on the mod. I love the custom transparent buttons!
those Yellow buttons with the black controller looks so sick, definitely gives me those Umbreon vibes
Cool mods, I've been wanting to get into controller modding for a while and finding your channel will definitely be a great place to start. Keep up the good content!
It’s amazing to see that this has finally come to fruition! Excellent job Rocker!
I appreciate the motivation and messages about and sorry it took so long to make it a reality!!
This is actually super cool. I've always been wondering if people were doing this.
Awesome video. I've been looking into these controllers for a while. I didn't even think about modding them! Thanks
Those mods really make that controller unique. Well done
I never was a fan of the analog triggers and the button layout but it's nice that people that do like it can use it as a wireless controller
The color scheme fits perfectly with the controller. Nice job dude
This is awesome! Wow. Somehow stumbled on this video and was not expecting this controller to undertake an artistic metamorphosis.
Damn. Epic.
The look of the modded controller is so nice. Also I will say, I have been using the wireless controller for months on months now and though sometimes it drifts, it’s an easy, put out batteries, put them back in fix
Those buttons completely change the controller. It is crazy how buttons can transform an entire controller!
I like those little inserts you made and I'm happy to see you put them on sale.
That controller looks amazing with the mods. Great work!!
Love the mod, the color scheme brought the already cool Umbreon theme of the controller to the next level!
AHHHHH I can believe how cool your videos are I get so exited every time I see your uploads in my feed

Awesome looking mod!! Wouldn't mind adding this one to my Gamecube controller collection if I am lucky enough. Great job!!
Ooh, looking clean. That black finish is super nice
ooh this looks really nice. always entertaining watching mod videos
4:50 if I were to buy an original gamecube R and L trigger, would that work/be another good alternative..?
Unfortunately they are not compatible 😔
Legit delicious mod brother, the colour scheme is the best I’ve seen!
I love how you did this in the style of my favorite eeveelution!
How did you make the analog and c sticks?! Don't they have rubber grip tips/caps??
Awesome! Love the molding process
The colors look so COOL... That is a great mod dude
As always a fantastic video! The colors really make the Umbreon esthetic pop!
That is the exact right word, pop! Thank you!!
Looks awesome. Very tastefully modded, I think it's nice and subtle and plays into the Umbreon theme really well!
It's nice seeing custom mods of the power A controller. This controller deserves more credit than it already has.
That controller looks awesome. I’ve always wanted to try the power a controller and the buttons look amazing!
Would you say this is viable for tournament use?
Would have been cool if they used original parts for the sticks :(.

Sick mod man! Glad to see one of these videos on the Power A controller :D
Absolutely love the videos man, I love watching you do all of these crazy mods and restorations. Keep up the great work!
You’re custom buttons are impressive! Really!! 3D printing the sticks is also very intuitive. Nicely done!!
