Before you buy a GameCube keyboard controller, watch this.

[@TheXtremeBoltGuy]

Well now I KNOW I gotta get one of these. Too bad it's really flipping expensive lmao

[@CrossChopChris]

Ugh, man, I know... Glad I got this when I did, but wishing I had gone after some other really unique GameCube stuff back before everything started getting so expensive!

[@TheXtremeBoltGuy]

@@CrossChopChris one last question tho, I noticed this has 2 controller plugs, does one of them control the controller and the other the keyboard or are they both necessary and I can't use it in 4 player? I may have missed that if you mentioned it

[@CrossChopChris]

Ooh, great question! I should have shown that in the video, too. You actually only need to connect the purple plug to the adapter in order to play games. I just double-checked this on my Switch and yes, you can do two- to four-player gaming using the adapter and four GameCube controllers, including the keyboard. 👍

[@TheXtremeBoltGuy]

@@CrossChopChris awesome! Even better I just got one for kinda sorta cheap (still pretty expensive, I was lucky to get a $150 bid) on Ebay so I can test this stuff for myself now! :D

[@CrossChopChris]

Oh, nice! Congrats and enjoy!

I would love to buy that! Unfortunately, that has to wait for a very long time because when I checked the price, it's really expensive. :(

[@CrossChopChris]

MarioFanGirl93 Crazy expensive!

[@thickishbrute8]

i would love to shit on someone in smash w one of these lmaoooo

[@rob86353]

Interesting device, unique packaging hidng two physically seperate sets of electronics, ie a standard gamecube controller alongside a custom keyboard. The bogstandard and boring controller hardware being on the purple plug and the keyboard on the white. Awesome set of videos - I was very impressed at your ability to not just once, but twice, exclusively demonstrate the uninteresting aspects of this device while providing no information on what makes it special. Fantastic use of 11 minutes. Sincerely though, if you weren't going to demonstrate the keyboard, why even plug the white plug in. Just plug in the purple plug and demonstrate that the normal gamepad part is what it is - a normal gamepad. That would have provided some potentially useful information that is otherwise not immediately obvious by just looking at the controller.

[@BorfieKai]

You didn’t even talk about the giant fucking keyboard in the middle of the controller and if it works or not

[@xaingu1]

Got one on order since I started playing pso again on my gamecube. Video was useful in judging size comparison, I've heard some complaints about the key/buttons being too small but I have smaller hands than most guys so I don't think I'll have any issues.

[@RetroDawn]

Thanks! I plan on ported my games to the GameCube and adding support for this.

[@BigHead2615]

Watched both your videos, my one and only question was never addressed or mentioned; does this thing work with Gamecube Animal Crossing, like when writing letters to sent to the museum or other villagers?

[@BenutzerWalter]

I want one of these just for the sake of having it

[@adrianmiklja7331]

I know that it might be to late to ask questions, but can you use this as an actual keyboard for your computer?

[@RetroDawn]

Yes! With the raphnet adapter.

[@Quooper]

Was contemplating buying one and now I've decided knowing I can use it on switch with no problems. Thanks!!

[@eviljigglypuff2329]

Can you use it on PC as strictly a keyboard

[@blackdragons95]

I just got one today new in the box for free for helping my buddy to sell his game collection, i am so happy right now!

I want to play Frogger Atari 800 as well on Retro Arch Gamecube but no button 1.

[@RetroPowerUp]

GameCube 2020. Okay a few things: I love your game room layout. And I really need to get a standup desk at home like yours now since I'm working remote everyday. Since I moved into my house (+ having a child) last year I have yet to fully setup my game room lol. And I just want to say how absurd it looks to play Smash with that thing. Cool information, although idk if I'll ever find one of those controllers to try it out with!

[@CrossChopChris]

Thanks, Bryan! The standing desk has really been helpful over the last couple years since I got it. I still sit a lot (especially while editing), but it's nice to be able to stand for more general computer use. It's definitely fun to play with this controller, but yeah, it's strange having your hands spread that far apart during Smash rounds. Lol

[@ThisIsJAIDEN]

There's been one of these sitting at a gamestore I found recently. Might have to pick it up.

[@KittyCatKayden]

but can you use the keyboard to type in wii and switch software?

[@DingoYabuki]

I have 4 of them (3 Ascii, 1 Sammy). Can wait to go to conventions once they open and make my friends play on them with me again

[@CrossChopChris]

Wow, nice!

[@TenshiPrime]

This is actually hella handy, the AC:GC server I'm on is testing keyboard support for the master decomp. I know of a guy irl who has this controller, and we can get the game to work with a virtual computer. But jurys out if it works with this legendary controller.

[@bayboy6974]

I tuned in for a while and I gotta say, amazing production man!

[@CrossChopChris]

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it!

[@josephnoeske2676]

Very Cool video! Such a neat piece of hardware that I hope to get a hold of one day, maybe when I can afford it lol. It would be neat to see a more in-depth video on how to get this to function as a regular keyboard on a pc with the raphnet adapter and whatnot. It would definitely be the first video explaining all of that clearly!

[@CrossChopChris]

That's a great idea! I'll add it my idea list to see if I can eventually make a decent video on that functionality.

[@josephnoeske2676]

Thanks! Either way, keep up the great work!

I am Emulating Atari 800 on Gamecube with Retro Arch. I have no button #1 to activate start on my games like Mrs.PacMan and Congo Bongo. Will this controller work for me I wonder??? I really miss these games.

[@iglinjapan]

Much appreciated! Just curious how much input lag you felt from playing in this controller?

[@CrossChopChris]

Andrew Igl Thanks for watching! In my testing, I haven’t noticed any perceptible lag-no more than a standard wired GC controller. 👍

[@joshcreep]

Love the video, but what about keyboard support on switch or Wii? Can I use it to write messages to my friends instead of having to use a cursor?

[@CrossChopChris]

Josh S Thanks for watching! No keyboard support for those platforms or any games other than Phantasy Star Online, unfortunately. Missed opportunity for sure!

[@Iloverodents]

Friend: do you play on pc or console? Me: yes

[@ultra_lbp]

Ok but should I use it whilst playing smash Bros ultimate, if I get one

[@ponglenis1701]

Hold up. If it says that it doesn't support the keyboard functionality, what's the point of using this device on a computer if the keyboard DOESN'T WORK??? Not to mention, this thing is VERY expensive (at least 300 bucks)

[@OtakuAudioRedux]

Does the keyboard part of the controller work on any games besides Phantasy Star Online?

[@hollowowlyt]

no

[@flippy101mph9]

do you have any suggestions for getting roms

I did, I was about to buy one anyways and just wanted to make sure there wasn't major functionality issues with the Switch for any odd reason.

[@CrossChopChris]

Dylan Hill Excellent-enjoy!

[@protossevolution3361]

Too bad the Gamecube lack some proper buttons to be compatible with modern games, this keyboard could be the solution for having an easy accessible controller and keyboard to use on my pc. Don't like to have a Xbox One controller laying around for both Xbox One and PC, hate to reconnect all the time. Plus, this GC keyboard is so charming.

[@UndedDisfunction]

Random question, does it have rumble?

[@CrossChopChris]

Unded Disfunction Good question! No rumble.

[@Frehgin]

Can you use it to type on the nintendo switch too?

[@CrossChopChris]

I don't think so. :/

[@RubenZCrazy89]

Well I'm going to take an educated guess and going to assume that, the keyboard portion of the controller is not supported for anything other than Phantasy Star Online for the GameCube and with a mod for dolphin. If this thing worked with Animal Crossing New Horizons I totally get it but I can see that clearly will not.

[@MightyQDawg]

GameCube 2020. Good info. I'd get one of these keyboard controllers if I came across one for a reasonable price. Not seeking one out right now, though Thanks for the video!

[@CrossChopChris]

Thanks for watching! It's fun to bust out every now again for games, but is largely a funny collection piece, to be sure.

[@bannedstorynoob]

great video, thank you very much

[@CrossChopChris]

Glad you liked it!

[@sesa2984]

My fiancee came with a gamecube and a gameboy advanced. All three were new to me but I'm excited about exploring their functionality. I have been researching (youtube) mods for the gamecube because with so many ports and accessibiity options to the board, it seems like an infinitely moddable platform. I'd totally like to mod it so that I can play roms on it etc. But, further than that, I'd love to make it into a sortof mini-pc, that I could use as my main home computer, for games, and mild internet use etc, I dont run a whole lot of programs. I only found out about this keyboard tonight but I;m even more stoked because I assume I could use it for this project and that would make it an even more gamecubey computer. I love it. Any info that you know about would be great. Secondarily, Do you know if ANY of the steering wheel options for gamecube are functional or even fun at all? I really wanna just go whole hog with this thing.

[@IceBlueLugia]

So if you plug it into the gamecube controller adapter on Wii U and use it on Nintendont, does the keyboard work? I assume it does since the bongos and DDR mat work on Wii U, but want to make sure before I shell out $200

[@ongakuwotabeta]

It does, but you need to change a setting in Nintendont

[@IceBlueLugia]

@@ongakuwotabeta Cool, thanks!

I've been wondering the most, how did the keys feel? Were they really cheap and nasty or reasonable?

[@CrossChopChris]

They're small, as you'd expect, but they feel good, IMO. They're not especially clicky, but they're not too mushy either.

[@SirMangler]

@@CrossChopChris Awesome, thanks.

[@wytemi]

you did a good job showing the controller works on any GCN game, but can I type on the keyboard in a game like Animal Crossing?

[@hollowowlyt]

To anyone reading this on the future, no if you use this controller with a gamecube it only works in PSO episodes 1 2 and 3. Any other game that has any sort of typing in it the keyboard does nothing.

[@wytemi]

@@hollowowlyt dumb. Thanks for the information

[@GameDeath]

I will only use it if I grow another pair of arm like Goro.. or Machamp..

dumb question probably but does it work with with animal crossing?

Not a dumb question! Unfortunately, I don't think the keys work with that game -- just PSO.

[@Kw-om9pu]

Would the keyboard work to put in a cheat for a GameCube?

[@CrossChopChris]

I doubt it, but not sure.

[@davidlane1248]

As a PSO fanatic, the ultimate "legitimate" way to play PSO these days would be: 1: gamecube (cheap) 2: good quality tube TV(cheap, if not outright free, but heavy!) 3: Gamecube Component cables (NOT CHEAP) 4: Gamecube Component cables (NOT CHEAP) 5: Phantasy Star Online episodes 1&2 plus(NOT CHEAP) 6: PSO keyboard controller (NOT CHEAP) Basically, for around a grand lol

[@CrossChopChris]

TRUE dedication!

[@spearmintlatios9047]

But you can get virtually the same experience with: Wii (cheap) Good quality TV (tube or not depending on preference) Wii component cables, or Hyperkin HDMI (30$) ASCII Controller (not cheap) PSO 1/2 ROM (free) Nintendont (Free)
