I made GameCube Joy-Cons

You've seen all the fake GameCube Joycon Renders. I decided to make real ones. This video was several months of assembly and several months of editing. Hope you enjoy it.

These JoyCons are real, but they are not for sale. They were a pain to make, and I will not be making another set.

This project is not easy or a good beginner project. If you cannot microsolder, you will not be able to make this project

Bruh imagine this dude making a portable switch.

I love how he credits every person involved in the project.

Shank Mods: Fine I'll do it myself

[cammm]

I honestly don’t know why anyone would skip ahead just to see the controllers in action. The real entertainment comes from your trial and error, the tough things you went through and the meticulous detail you added to get these controllers just right, and the amazing feeling you get when you see them completed. I come back to this video every few months just to be amazed. Fantastic work, Shank. I love your content. Keep it up.

"The only time these controllers drift is when i'm playing mario kart" clever

[Kellyfields]

Shank: I don’t recommend this as your first modding project
Me, already breaking my joycons: gæmēçübė

[Geassguy]

God why can't these be made officially, I'd buy these in a heartbeat.

[podracer]

I'm so glad there's finally gonna be a version of these made, but man... I'll never forget that this was the original. Such an awesome project.

12:23 Holding these things sideways is the most cursed thing I've ever seen

Thank you all for all the comments! The overwhelming majority have been so kind, complementing, and supportive. Its been awesome going through them so far. However, they are pouring in WAY faster than I expected, and way faster than I can reply. I'm working my way through the comments one at a time, so if you are waiting on a reply, please be patient. Ill try my best to get to them all. If you need to reach me sooner, you can reach me on Discord or social media in the description. Again thanks for all the kind words in the comments so far ❤️

P.S. They are not for sale. They take too much work to make to sell.

This video not only taught me how dedicated modders can be to recreate authenticity, but just how passionate and collaborative this community is

[PuppetMasterIX]

I don't know what I'm more envious of: the GameCube shape, or the drift-proof sticks.

Nintendo: Makes a GameCube controller for the switch

Shank: I’m 4 parallel universes ahead of you.

[jasonmorin]

Great job man!!! I love the fine detail you put in your projects. While I don’t understand most of what your doing, the projects themselves, the script, and the video production are really great work.

[JetstreamSam]

10 minutes after doing this

Nintendo: LOOK AT OUR COOL NEW GAME-CUBE JOYCONS

[jifour]

Nintendo needs a new head of hardware management

[johnnymonday]

It’s a tradition to watch this every now and then.

[brycebonilla]

dang its already been two and a half years since this video came out? As an electronics and video game guru and repairman i love this video for inspiring new people to pick up this hobby. Keep up the good work!

*Cuts GameCube controller in half

Nintendo: yes
