Do you have like a YouTube link. I'm too good at breaking stuff
I don't have a video that I can link you to but instead I can direct you to Kadano's Technical Knowledge thread which has pictures detailing how to take apart a controller. All you have to do is take out the motherboard for the controller and swap it with a different one then put the shell back on.

ok so i got lazy and instead of painting a controller, i just took two controllers, changed the shells so they both have two different colours, and took both controls and put it on one. if anyone cares to see it i can take pictures of it.

Ohhh SNAP these are rad!

Next time you get stock in, do you think I could order 4 custom painted GC controllers?
I understand that a little over 2 weeks ago you said you'd stop taking orders on painted stuff, but these are absolutely LEGIT, and I'd love to have a set of 4 for my house, which is (very) slowly turning into my area's Strikers and Melee tournament zone.

Sure, if you feel like showing the people.

Again, first come first served. I will let you all know when orders are back up, and Ill let you guys order until I can't take anymore. I can't really take an order of 4 controllers at one time tho at the time being, but maybe I could work on it over time.

On a side note,
Anyone have some suggestions for selling wii ccps? I got a lot of them (I need to buy them for nunchuk sticks) and haven't had much luck selling them. Obviously, they are not in the same demand of GC controllers, but are there any brawl/PM players who would like to suggest some new mods or other things that would motivate you to buy some wii ccps?

Alright, I've got one more request, I'm trying to go as cheap as possible while still making it cool
(I'll be sending in a controller if I decide to go with this)

Alright, the Blue (I guess its called emerald, idk) Shell, the one from this pic http://s1321.photobucket.com/user/G...3-456b-aa44-2cad60cd2f62_zps87a0e163.jpg.html nd a white shell on back. The sooner you can give me a price, the better so i can put the money aside.

I'm curious on what you could do with a Link design, if you decide on doing it I am interested for sure if it looks cool as I like the C.Falcon one you made.
Don't have emerald in stock. I could do a silhouette of link.


I was going to wait until tomorrow for this, but I'll give you all a heads up right now.

I have restocked 5 controllers on my site (all of these controllers can be found on the front page) with one stock each. This means that I will be now accepting orders again (just send an email to make sure I have what you want in stock). However, since I am trying to figure out my LED situation, I need some time on those orders and will not accept any LED orders atm.

Grab a controller while you can! I have had a ton of requests for custom controllers over the past few months, so make sure you place your order before someone else takes it!

I guess you could call these "custom" even though all I did was change some plates. Hope to paint these soon though.

Also something interesting I noticed when taking these apart was that my indigo controller ad a small metal bar holding the L trigger in while my white controller was just the spring. Maybe that's why the triggers feel different?

I will get to painting a lot of your guy's controllers in a few days. There's snow all over the place here in NC.

Im working on getting LEDs and figuring them out for you guys.

Just realized that this is the 501st post.. damn missed the happy 500 lol

Anyways, I got the LEDs working (I'm so happy like really lol I'm terrible with this stuff) and I will be working on everyone who has already ordered LEDs. I look forward to making some sick **** with these things!

I'd like to see these LEDs
They didn't come out all that bright, since I did not use the brightest LEDs.. O well, I guess Ill sell these ones a bit cheaper and it will allow me to learn more about it.

They were only 1200 mcd, which I didn't realize was too low.. (but the viewing angle is still 120 which is very good but doesn't quite make up for 1200 mcd)

I don't have purple LEDs right now, so I cannot give you an exact price. If you just want an indigo top with a clear bottom and LEDs, probably around $60

How much would just buying shells from you be? I'm looking for a Clear Bottom Shell with a Emerald Top and maybe Bl. Do your top Shells have the Nintendo Gamecube logo on them? Or are they third party? What are the Prices of the items by themselves?

$15 Clear bottom
$25 Emerald top (out of stock)
$5 Black top
Nothing is third party, all have the logo. I can also shell painted shells or shells with the rounded analog or shells with decals. PM for a quote price on exactly what you want.

Yo, @ GCS Gaming Customs GCS Gaming Customs

Would you know where I could purchase Wii U Pro control sticks? They're shorter than the Classic Controller Pro sticks, and I prefer the grips on them to the grips on the GCC controller.

On top of that, around how much would a Green painted Top + Orange painted bottom + a BW decal, in the same orange as the back, on the face go for, with rounded analog on both stick.
