Is removing L/R springs tournament legal?

I can't seem to find an answer about this, can someone clear it up?

I'm not entirely sure if controller mods are legal or not. What is the purpose of removing the springs?

Personally I like having no spring on my left trigger because I find it easier to power shield, wave dash, and l cancel. It makes the l button feel more like on of the face buttons (a or x or y or whatever), rather than squishy like they are normally. I leave the right trigger with a spring though incase I want to light shield (you can only full press with no spring).

Yes, it is legal and a relatively common mod. The other ones I have seen commonly used are removing rumble packs and replacing sticks with extra control sticks, C-sticks, or nunchuk sticks. Beyond these, you should ask the TO beforehand if your mod is allowed.
