I just wanted to drop a comment to say that you're a master craftsman. I have no idea how you can even improve your custom Gamecube controllers any further, the custom LEDs, the touchpad integration, the photo-luminescent buttons, the custom shells, etc. This is all top tier craftsman ship and I positively adore your videos, they are very inspiring. I don't know to what new heights you can soar to, but I'll be cheering you on. Much success moving forward, and God bless you.
Man, thank you!!! Trust me, I am not done yet... there is something VERY big coming! Also, the comments and ppl checking out the videos are the most inspiring thing and keep me motivated to keep pushing forward! Cheers!!
I saw your Etsy shop and...WOW. not only do you have really cool stuff but it's very reasonably priced. When I get a soldering iron I'm definitely buying these led rings. Blue lights with clear purple buttons is my dream gamecube controller
Thank you! I do my best to make it all as affordable as possible many of the ideas we come up with on the channel end up there is a limited run of some capacity
Damn this kit is sick I’ve done this mod once and it was a little bit of a pain and a lot of planning and learning, but it looks like you made it easy for anyone wanting to do this just do it with little modding experience great job!!
Nice controller! I really like the less is more approach to the paint job! That LED mod is awesome! I have zero soldering skill but even I'm not feeling intimidated by the mod! Nice glue gun lol! Great video and keep up the good work!
Great vid! I am interested in building my own GameCube controller from just a shell but I was blown back by the lack of tutorials for a GameCube controller. Your one of the only people doing these types of videos and I definitely appreciate that. Is there anywhere you can direct me or maybe I could contact you (through discord or other media) for help in my build? Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hey man I gotta keep it easy for everyone, myself included, lol!! For real though, if you're intstalling this on a t2 board the install is sub 10 minutes. T3 board is closer to 15 min due to the jumper flip. For someone handy with a soldering iron you can likely cut those times in half!
I appreciate that, I have been trying to figure out ways to "over engineer" so to speak to make things uber easy. I think in the long-run its a much better way to design mods!
Your videos are absolutely amazing, and I've paracorded my GC controller and I'm in the middle of adding some individually addressable LEDs to the joysticks and buttons. I'm super excited to finish up this project and I wouldn't have been able to do it without you!
@@RockerGaming So just an update, and I might like a little bit of advice if you can provide any, but the contact pads for the motherboard connection to the power cable ripped, so I need to order a replacement motherboard. Also, I was touching the led wires to pins 2 for 5v and 6 for ground, and none of the leds lit up. Am I trying to test the wrong pins? My controller was plugged in.
@@RockerGaming I was testing it with my Switch, but the controller was on, yeah. Would they possibly stay off if there isn't anything going to data in?
@@dolphin6782 well I guess we need to take a step back for a second. What are you using to drive those individually addressable rgb leds? Which microcontroller?
Very cool I'm just starting getting into modding. All I have done so far is replaced buttons with cheap Chinese buttons with different colors on cheap wired gamecube controllers, looking to do more though.
Thank you, here is a link, looks like he is out of 1ml, but I had a 1ml and it has lasted me some 40+ controllers. www.etsy.com/listing/595029523/joystick-butter-1-ml?ref=hp_rv-1&frs=1
Controller looks dope but looks like its not closing completely, the right side in particular looks like it's got a gap between the controller shell. Did you not tighten the screws down or is this just how the mod do?
I double checked the controller and I believe the reason it looks that way is bc the led ring is shining light on it. It could also be shells were not originally mates, as well, but either way, the mod does not create any clearance issues to the controller.
Hey rocker, quick question. Back in your resin cast video, you vacuum degas your resin to get the air bubble our. Do you think you can give me some tips on how you do it? Always seem to have a layer of foam or little bubble
Honestly the best way is to use a pressure pot. The other thing you can try is to increase the sprew size so more resin stays in the sprew. This should allow more air to vent and there be sufficient resin to fills the voids previously filled with air.... also, what resin are you using?
@@RockerGaming I'm currently using art n glow, I saw in the video you were able to get all the foam out and was wondering how you did it since mine still has foam after being in the vacuum chamber for around 10-20 mins
@@glowz9680 so I would increase that to say 20 to 30 mins, set a timer and then i would also increase your sprew size and you should be pretty good. Getting totally bubble free isn't going to be perfect without a pressure pot, but doing these should help quite a bit. Also, stir parts a and b very slowly as to not introduce air into the mix.
i just look for most of the points where the nylon components touch and apply a tiny amount to each (maybe 1/3 of a grain of rice size). It works quite well and TBH, a little bit goes a long way.

Hi ive been looking all over the internet for led rings and cant find plain white or green, i want them to act as my on light for my wavebird, any advice on where i can find them?
@@RockerGaming aa thats awesome, actully was on your etsy, but you only had blue rings, i dont need the touch thing and id prefer white xD, if theres a way to get that i might xD
Its a capacitive touch sensor so when your finger approaches since it's conductive it will increase the capacitance. This gets measured by a microcontroller which tells the circuit to turn on or off. Sorry a bit of technical answer but hopefully it helps!
There will more stock soon, I just ran out. Hoping to have more listed in the next week or so. As for shinewave, I have been pretty diligent to get the new kits out, and, while that effort has been taking a ton of time, but the good news is I should have announcement in the next week or so with a pre-order!
@@RockerGaming okay awesome. I realized last night I hadn't looked at your store in a while and decided to check it out and got a little worried something happened.
@@fae_online It should be soon. I just got the parts in to finish the run this weekend. I am prioritizing Shinewave right now, but led rings will follow!
I wonder what Console you'll be Bringing back to life next? We've seen you bring back a GameCube, N64, Dreamcast, SNES, Even Sega Saturn on multiple occasions! I even seen you bring back a Game Gear from the Dead. I know I've said this many times in previous videos and this is the Last Time I'll say it, You should put your skills to the test against an worn out, extremely dirty Nintendo Wii. With everything you and your team has done up until now, there's no doubt in my mind that you can pull it off. As for the theme for the Wii...Surprise Me
Dude... I know... I need to do a Wii... I have been putting it off despite the fact my Wii has been begging to be treated better, lol. One of these days I promise I will do it! I have a couple other items on my short list to get done first!

Thanks for making this vid! I know I'm a bit late but I love led mods and this looks absolutely amazing and easy. Thanks a lot!
Turn out amazing love the buttons the cord and those LED...🙌🏼
Cheers dude, I couldnt have done it without you!
Where can i find the removable cable mod? And can't wait for the release of the kit!

Great work dude! Where can is get the removable cable Mod? that looks interesting!
Keep it Up!
Lmao i love the new hot glue iron 😂
haha, its solder iron abuse... I am going to get hate for that!
I'm gonna grab this when it drops! Any idea how well this would fit in a wavebird?
Great looking mod. What do you think about the Teflon tape to tighten the wobble of the buttons?
I have used the teflon bearing tape on the last community mod, I liked it quite a bit and would recommend it.
"let me know your feedback"
I want a kit for mine! :D
Great job dude!
haha, thank you! Very soon they will be out, excited to get these into more folks hands!!
Dad I want a Hot glue gun
No we already have one. *holds up soldering Iron*
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHIPPING MY ORDER!!!!!
No problem!! Hopefully usps deliveries it timely! Took me 3 weeks to get the materials to make them 😂
I would love to see a video on designing some PCBs.
Man thats a great idea! Maybe like my prototyping process?
@@RockerGaming Prototyping mostly and maybe even drawing it up for a Gerber. I'm pretty intrigued with you taking mods to this level.
Wait is that the gummy bear theme tf? Loll subbed
Where do you get joystick butter ? Also love everything your doing

got any colors other than blue for the LEDs? I want to mod my orange game cube controller and I think the colors would clash a ton.
Is there a mod kit out there that backlights the buttons as well?
Hello
RockerGaming, I would like to know which polish you use on your controller, thank you =)
I dont @puchomagic made the shell. Pretty sure he used ppg automotive paint, but not sure exactly he went about it!
@@RockerGaming
and the varnish also at ppg? ? thanks for your response
i got a clear bottom gc controller would love to see led version of clear gc controller

Where do I find the removable cable mod
Does this also work on the Wavebird?
The touch sensor will not work, but you can wire the led rings directly to 3.3v and gnd and they will work!
Where can I buy one of these
You should make a Shy Guy custom controller. Shy Guy doesn’t get enough credit as a Mario character.
