Saw this on Kickstarter the other day and thought you all might be interested. I’m a big fan of the GCN layout so I’m definitely getting a few.

The controller has hall effect sticks, bluetooth, and dual stage analog triggers which most 3rd party GCN don’t include.

Discourse forum software dictates which embeds are supported, you just use the URL. But it seems Kickstarter are forbidding such embeds.

It got funded!

Here’s the latest update:

We’re Fully Funded!

Thank you so much to everyone showing interest and enthusiasm. I will probably say this many times more over the coming months.

I can’t quite believe how quickly everyone has pulled together to make this thing a reality. I’m still quite possibly in shock.

I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you. This really feels like a culmination of everything I’ve been obsessed with the last 5 years or so, wrapped into a fantastic project.

Here’s the to-do list for the rest of September

  • Send payment for the molds immediately so they can get started on the machining process. (Eta November completion time for initial injection samples)
  • We are waiting until closer to mid-October to place the rest of our orders to determine proper ordering quantities
  • See how many stretch goals we can unlock!

At the end of September, I’m travelling to Japan and you may not hear much from me until October. (Don’t worry, contrary to previous predictions, I will not be purchasing the Rainbow Goblins limited edition guitar signed by Takanaka-San with the Kickstarter funds **this is a joke).

Getting some time away will be a great time to get my head on straight and get ready for some final developments relating to the controller firmware.

Let’s talk about Add-Ons.

New Add-Ons

People have asked about extra parts (Buttons, etc.)

Here’s the shortlist of new items

  • Joystick Sets (If you want two left sticks instead of a C nub, this is an opportunity to grab another set)
  • Bald Button Sets (Only translucent white color, but compatible with OEM controllers. Color may vary and be transparent instead)
  • Ergo Triggers + Dual Z (Light gray color)
  • Split Dpad Set (May be transparent or translucent white color)

Screwdrivers Added

This controller is assembled with the only requirement being a T6 and a T8 screwdriver. I wanted to wait until I had solid confirmation on pricing, and I can confirm that we will be including these screwdrivers with each kit. It’s extremely cost effective to include them.

These tools are rather cheap, and if you have a nicer bit set, use it. For someone doing a single controller assembly, it will do just the trick.

Thank you all, and talk to you again soon!
