Custom GameCube Controllers

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Quick question... Do you use the cheap ones off amazon or ebay or are they official Nintendo branded ones?

Never cheap, third party ones. I was lucky to find a seller selling this many official boards for a good price.

 

[Sashimi]

I'm curious... if you took out a shoulder spring and replaced it with a weaker spring, what would light-shielding be like?

 

[Grey Belnades]

Used to play w/gcube stick
then realized the PS3 kinda wrecks it (my opinion)
then finally tried out the Nunchuk stick...
And Im never going back.

BTW
Look at this ppl, A dry bones theme controller w/gray top, clear bottom, and RGB LEDs Show it some love! Terry, thanks for coming back



O yea, I got the board today terry lol

Gib me LED control pls.

Im not sure, It would probably just be easier (less of a tap).

Ill try this sometime.

Gib me LED control pls.

Cool, that would have been bad business... the 3rd party controllers suck. Good luck in your ventures.

 

[BackwardCap]

Do you have a list of shell, pad, & stick color options or is the sky the limit?

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Depends what you want.

Visit the site, when you build your own custom controller it starts at $20, then increases according to how you customize it.

I would never use those pieces of ****. They break in a week!

• Refer to the first post for shells.
• I have army and bright green, purple, hot pink, red, blue, yellow, bright orange, black, and white PS3 Sticks available. (visit the site, view the customize your own controller to see a picture of all of em) http://gamecubescrubb.storenvy.com
• I have regular colored gamecube sticks
• Black, White, and Gold Nunchuk Sticks
• You can also order a painted C-stick (they last), as long as you also get it sanded..

I have emerald, orange, indigo, black, and silver chords around. I can paint chords too for an extra fee.

Hot damn that's a lot of controllers. I've looked into buying bulk controllers from ebay but I could never afford it D:

 

[1ampercent]

How much is shipping overseas? I live in Australia.

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Usually about $20 for a controller

 

[1ampercent]

Usually about $20 for a controller

So about $20 for shipping overseas per controller? I wasn't so sure since the website didn't add the price for shipping at the checkout, except for US which was $5

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Thats because the price set for international shipping (besides canada, which is $10) is $0. I determine the exact shipping price according to your country and what the package weighs later, when the order is complete.

All I can do is give you an estimate (usually $20 per controller, pbly +$7 per extra controller) then I can get the exact price at a later date.

Looking forward to seeing results. MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE CAN, and to paint during a time of low humidity.
Good Luck!

 

[Deleted member]

Oh neat. Hadn't realized that on your site.

Just ordered some, woo!

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

For all of you out there interested in ordering, I really can't accept orders right now. I am backed up with about 6 pending controller orders, and the inclement winter weather doesn't help either..

Thanks for all the support tho Ill try to keep the controllers coming out for you guys!

[Coastward]

alright so how come my z button feels so hard to press down on when reassemble my controller? is there a certain way things have to be aligned?

 

[Rawkuz]

There are slots and greaves in the back piece of the controller under the triggers to stick that little piece sticking out of the z button. Probably have to take it apart and put it back together.

i heard a click this time when i reassembled it, thanks.

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

If you plan on taking your controller apart quite often (usually ends up happening) I suggest keeping only 2-4 screws in (just enough so the shells still clamp together tightly) So you can take it apart much quicker, and plus you won't get quite as frustrated if something doesn't work quite right.

Also, another helpful suggestion is to put in just 1-2 screws initially, then test the controller for about a minute (make sure everything works) then put the other screws in.

oh yeah, ive learned to keep screws in so i dont have to keep taking them in and out. its such a pain sometimes lol. and im finally getting around to painting my controller tomorrow. weather is nice, got all of my supplies, got some extra time. ill post results once its finished.

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

I can only take mod/repair orders right now. I cannot paint, since I have many customers on the list for a paint job (if you already are, disregard this notice) and can't take more orders ATM.

 

[TerryJ]

Just finished an order for NME.

He sent me two limited edition controllers, a sexy Club Nintendo one and a fully transparent one which I put three R/G/B LED's into. All I did with the Club Nintendo one was clean it and remove the rumble, now the buttons don't stick and it's lighter!

I'll post pictures and maybe a video soon. Also, I need more commissions right now and need to pay rent soon SO BUY CONTROLLER JOBS FROM ME!

Edit:
Pictures!

 

[NME]

Love em' :}

 

[Sashimi]

Those LED ones are really fancy. How much would it be for one of those (no other mods)?

Also, what would you say is the best way to clean a controller?

 

[TerryJ]

'Bout $35 not including shipping if you send me your own controller. $45 if you want a new one from me.

Also, what would you say is the best way to clean a controller?

A wet paper towel or disinfecting wipes and a tooth pick to scrape the hard to reach places. I also like to soak the screws in 100% alcohol so they're nice and shiny.

 

[C.E.S.]

How much would you sell the shell of the official emerald controller with/without the cord and how much would you sell the bottom clear shell?

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Since you are charged per board and other components you order, some standard shells do not cost extra in your overall order. Prices are per shell. All shells are OEM. Cost per one shell.​

* (Wavebird) Silver $0​

* (Wavebird) Gray $0​

* Silver $0​

* Indigo $0​

* Black $0​

* Orange $5​

* Clear (bottom) $10​

* Clear (top) $50​

* Emerald $25​

* White $15​

Club Nintendo or other exclusives should be sent in (like above). In some cases and for extra charges, I can order an exclusive for you.

BTW, Terry, those controllers are looking mad cute.

I knoooow. I should have taken a picture of the wiring I did for it, best I've done yet. I even used only white wire so it would bled in better with the clear shell and be harder to see from the outside.

 

[Adoni23]

Im interested in getting a paint job done on a controller, I really liked what you did with the C. Falcon controller, and I was wondering if you could do that with other characters, and how much it would cost?

Depends if you want both shells painted, any extra mods, and the complexity of the character model

 

[SkateyKnox]

No, I can clean up/replace sticks on any type of GameCube Controller. They are all for the most part identical
