FAQ

What is this subreddit?

A place for showing off and discussing custom Nintendo Gamecube controllers! Feel free to post your aesthetically or functionally modified Gamecube controller or ask for help / discuss modifications.

Why not just use <this subreddit> or <that one>?

Frankly, we didn't feel like the other Smash or customization subreddits really fit the needs of the community. /r/customGCC is meant to be a centralized location specifically for Gamecube controller modding discussion and sharing, including but not limited to paint jobs, resin buttons, functional mods, custom Smashboxes, anything along those lines.

How do I do this thing or that thing? (Alternatively: I really messed up this paint job, help!)

Before making a thread here, we recommend you join our discord server and ask around or use the !help command to view various guides.

Who can I order a controller from?

Please use the vendor list to browse community sellers and contact them directly. Do not create threads asking for opinions on <x seller>, and instead browse and ask in the feedback thread which is stickied.

Important Statement Concerning 'Hylia Customs' AKA 'Saiyan Controllers'

90 Upvotes

EDIT: April 2020

The operation seems to be renamed to "Littlerootlabs".

Links:

_

The CGCC moderation team was recently made aware that the individual behind Hylia Customs may actually be Saiyan of 'Saiyan Controllers'. After further investigation we’ve encountered numerous examples of both direct evidence and strongly circumstantial evidence confirming that this assertion is true - 'Hylia Customs' and 'Saiyan Controllers' are one and the same.

For those unaware, in 2019 Saiyan Controllers accepted a large number of orders and commissions for custom controllers (likely several thousand dollars’ worth of value in total). In July 2019, Saiyan Controllers went completely dark and its owner ("Saiyan") failed to return any customer payments for their many outstanding orders (for more information, see Life’s announcement on Sept 10, 2019 in the CGCC discord).

It is unclear whether the intent behind Hylia Customs is to operate the same scam twice, however for a number of different reasons we consider this to be quite likely. Therefore, we strongly caution everyone against ordering from, or doing business with, Hylia Customs. If you have outstanding orders, we advise that you document all communications, emails, and receipts related to the purchase to best prepare for a potential dispute (or, cancel the order entirely). Likewise, keep a close eye on any dispute windows so that you do not lose the opportunity for a refund in the likely event that no product is received.

As of this posting, Hylia Customs has already left this Discord due to mounting suspicion per the above. The known web presence of Hylia Customs includes:

Reliable replacement buttons

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m at a loss. I’ve bought about 20 different sets of replacement buttons from Amazon. Every set I’ve received has faulty Z buttons that don’t fit on any official GameCube controller shell. However, they often work only with third-party or counterfeit controllers. Another issue is that when I get replacement sticks, the entire stick goes too deep into the stick, causing the joystick tip to rub against the edges of the faceplate hole as it sits too low.

Does anyone have any reliable information on what to do about this? Even if I could just get a fix for the Z button I would be eternally grateful. And no the issue is not the pegs that stick out from the button , It is also not the edges that are the issue. The issue it self is that the Z button is shifted slightly too far to left causing an issue where the case closes it is pushing on the button itself extremely hard removing any play from button causing it to be extremely stiff to press.

Help Advise for controller

5 Upvotes

I want to build a controller for smash ultimate but don’t know the first idea where to start.
I have a black GC controller, but the left analog stick has bad drift. Where can I buy new parts and since I already have the controller open I might as well throw some money at it. Soldering wont be a problem. Or is it a better idea to buy a rebuilt controller online? If so where?

Thanks

Finally got this done and working! No damage to the original ASCII controller is required, just replace the keyboard and you're good to go. The thumb cluster needs some rework but otherwise it feels surprisingly good to use

GameCube help, Issues

5 Upvotes

hello there, so I have a couple game cubes that I’ve had since I was younger. And a couple years ago, they worked perfectly fine, but now all the sudden, depending on the desk, one or the other GameCube won’t read them. So I will put the disk in the other GameCube and it will all of a sudden read it. So I know that it’s not the disc specifically. There is maybe a disc reader issue, or too much dust, or I haven’t ran them in a while.

I’ve heard about the disc reading issue in some game cubes recently, and I’ve heard that you could fix them.

I eventually also want to buy older game cubes and refurbished them. So if you have any advice on that, let me know as well…
