Hello, I am poor and cant get a gc controller rn, so I play with a ps4 controller. Its awful, ofc, so I want to get the temporarily best option available to me, until I can afford a Nintendo GC Controller. I have a switch pro controller and I wrote out a guide for notching it based on what I have found accross the internet.
Not really anything for notching pro controllers along the lines of tutorials or any info at all really, but I did find a store selling notched pro controllers and figured it must be possible.
My main thought on what could be an issue is applying the c-stick style notches to a right stick, but im worried I might come across some other problems.
Maybe the switch controller sticks would have an issue after notching or maybe there is something in the pro controller more sensitive than the gamecube controller in the tutorial I will follow. Maybe the pro controller must be within a specific range that it isnt in, thus making the notches not work. Idk.
Ill leave the guide I wrote out for myself below, I am hoping anyone with any knowledge on the subject who can chime in with any issues I may come across or any problems with my rough guide or reasons why notches wont work or could hurt my controller, outside of notching a controller being hard.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

If the c stick on gamecube is smaller than right stick on controller, do math to make them equal to ensure notches work are the correct size and placement relative to the pro right stick
- left stick / c-stick
- get exact dimensions off google
Create a 3D model in blender of left stick using exact dimensions, then size image accordingly
trace to paper and tape to pro face plate left stick
do the math to make the c stick the same size as pro right stick plate, size image accordingly, trace, tape to face plate - Get sandpaper, file, and lube
