How To Modify Third Party Shells to Fit OEM GameCube Pieces

[kyrelpolifrone]

To people who read this in the coming future, I want to provide an update on what I have learned. A comment asked if it feels as good as OEM and I wanted to leave a public comment rather than a response which would not show without opening the comment string. The third party modifications cannot be fairly compared to a first party. Months after this video, as of January, 2019, I'm still having issues with making one of the controllers feel natural. It is much lighter due to not having a rumble pack., making the controller feel really cheap/fake. Also, the rubber contact pads do not fit well. Because of this, I can't seem to make it feel OEM as of right now. I would hold back against purchasing the third party controllers for now. I'm going to do a lot more testing over the coming months when I'm back in college.

I bought a White TTX gamecube controller, and all I had to do was remove the 2 notches on the back and that one piece on the front. I used the 3rd party x, y, a buttons, and used the oem membrane for them, used the oem start button with the oem membrane, and kept the oem directional pad with the oem membrane, . Kept the oem z button and also left the third party triggers. Everything came together and I have no issues except for the z button that doesn’t have much room to work with but I tested it and it’s functional. I am planning on painting the oem shell eventually and then I’ll put it all back the way it was. Thanks for the video it did help. 👍🏼
