Welcome to the Custom Gamecube Controller Community!

Waiting on some custom buttons but the ones I dyed work for now 🙂‍↕️

I'm 18 and I learned to solder and built my personal phob (last photo) a bit more than a year ago. Then after plenty of practice, I got my first online order about 7 months ago (the symphonic green). Since then, these are all the phobs I've built for my online customers. I've worked on other controllers too, but these are all of my full builds. So far my journey has been really fun and this has definitely become a passion of mine. I recently invested a good sum of money into a pressure pot and materials to make resin casted buttons and I'm super excited to start making and selling them. Since I started gaming, I've always been interested in controllers, either by investing into modded controllers or diy modding my switch pro controller, and I just never thought that I'd be able to get so far and do so much. I'm really happy with my progress and can't wait to see where this passion takes me. Anyways, just wanted to share my story and builds and say that I'm happy I pursued this interest of mine. Thx for reading :)

Sup y'all, this is my first "custom" GCC, I bought this controller as scrap cuz both joysticks were long gone, and the gates of the left stick were worn out, so I did a joystick change and changed both the top Shell, all the buttons, triggers, and Joystick caps for all black ones.

Hi, I’m trying to fit a phob board in a smash ultimate gc shell. Everything else fits perfect, but for some reason the z button won’t fit. When I try to cram it in it won’t click. Does anyone know why this is or how to fix this? Thank you for any responses.

I’m looking for the best place to get cheap but cool GCC shells. They could be halves or fulls but I need a good place to get them at quality.

As a side bar I would like to know the difficulty of replacing the shells. I have a phob, mouse click z button and maybe short springs but I can’t remember lol. Thank you!

As in the video, stick just behaves weirdly, even when together so it’s not just because it’s taken apart, no clue what to do.

I’m very new to all this, I soft modded my wii for the first time the other day and I had this controller lying around and I tried it out and it was drifting, so I took it apart and wanted to see if there was any obvious flaw. I’ll add photos of the controller so someone can identify it in the comments, thanks for the help hopefully!

PS I understand completely if this isn’t a good place to ask for help, and I know it’s a knockoff so I can’t expect anything great, but if there’s anything really easy I can do that’d be great.

I wanted to replace both sticks of my original GC Controller and i found alot of Stick replacements and im unsure of which to buy.

does anyone have a recommendation of which and where to buy?

After a year of using my phob the wiring finally gave out and the controller stopped connecting. Was wondering if there is tech support I can mail to. Appreciate the help 🙂

anybody know anyone that can fix this?

Hey all!
I'm looking to make a personal PhobController for Smash Ultimate and I had a few questions I can't find the answers to on how certain mods feel to use. Hopefully those out there with the various button mods could chime in as to how they press compared to an OEM? Primarily I want to bring my controller into the modern era for reliability since my madcatz started phantom inputs and I've moved onto an equally old OEM since then. I'm getting older and my hands hurt more often so button mods that reduce strain would be nice as well.
For my habits I typically use Y+A to input a short-hop attack, then L+Y for an empty short hop. When I do that my thumb tends to slide across the buttons and I feel like I take advantage of the small amount of wiggle the buttons have to press them together. The click of the shoulder buttons is very nostalgic for me.

Here are my questions;
1. For face buttons I've noticed a lot about stabilization, and I understand there are: Plugs, Rubber Domes (Perforated), Domeless rubber, and Mechanical Mouseclick. How exact do you need to be pressing the center of the button with these various methods? How hard is it to press down compared to OEM and how much more reliability do they give?
2. For shoulder buttons: Keyboard Switch, Mouseclick, Plugs. I think I'd like Keyboard Switch just since there's travel and possibly a click still involved, has anyone installed those how difficult was it?

I’m playing with a Power A Wireless GameCube Controller and my left thumb stick’s pad finally ripped off. I am mostly using it as a wireless controller for PC as I GC is my favorite and I don’t enjoy PS or Xbox controllers. I also like that I can still use it for my switch (I have actual GC controllers too but they aren’t great for PC)

I’ve never had to replace a thumb pad before so I figured this would be the best place to ask about them. I tried googling to see if they were the same as original GC controllers or if I’d need a special type for Power A but came up with nothing useful.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I’d rather not buy an entirely new controller

This is good?

Hey guys, can anyone help me figure out the board revision for this controller? I want to try modding it, but I don't know much about this stuff, and I'm not even entirely sure if the controller is genuine.

Its not the stickbox itself, its the joystick. The other one fit on fine, but this one is loose. Is this common?

Custom painted/sealed Darwin GCC with modded internals :) thinking about doing a Gumball one soon while I’m feeling inspired.

Open to suggestions on what buttons to cast for this one!

Threw this guy together this week. Custom painted/sealed, and modded internals.

We’re going to try and cast some buttons/sticks for the first time ever to match the shell color! So excited

When to supernova and bought one item from each vendor. Took all my findings and brought it to my controller guy. Here is what I got

Repost cause I didn't know direct links aren't allowed.

Custom Berserk phob I made! If you like it I have a similar shell listed on my Etsy along with some buttons and other stuff!

CorbinsCustoms on Etsy and all platforms!

I finnally got around to purshase buttons

I ordered one set of bald nebula from KrzzesMods on esty

I was suprised when i opened the package and i saw two sets of buttons! One bald one standard😳

Love the feeling of bald buttons! I can double shine way easier now and they are just so pretty!

Also i did:

- Lego plugs (very short on the left and short on the right)

- Cut springs (a cicrle and a half)

- Tape for noise

- Perforated rubber

- O rings (stabilise the springs and reduce noise)

Wide elastic on the controle stick to teduce noise with dashdance)

Super happy with it!

(Sorry for the bad pictures, my lens is cracked)

I still need to fix the stick box on the right controller and then I was gonna add paracord when I do that.

Edit: I had a very cheap budget when making these
