It honestly pains me to see such great content creators with a small audience. So much hard work and time dedicated to this. Hopefully you get a bigger audience soon :)

Thank you for this video series. They will be regarded as an encyclopedia for casting all manors of controllers from the nostaligic NES to the over-complicated Xbox series.

[@RTB1400]

Absolutely incredible. Very heartwarming to know there's a future beyond salvaging OEM until we're out of parts. Awesome stuff.

[@RockerGaming]

Yo dude, awesome series!! Thanks for getting deep into the detail and putting it all out there! Also thanks for the shout! When you're back let me know and let's set up a collab!

[@ItsETECH]

YO @RockerGaming !!!! What's up man love your work as well and so glad you got the shout out for the paracording cause that's how I learned to do my controller! Hope you collab with this guys sometime soon!!

[@RockerGaming]

@@ItsETECH thanks buddy really glad it helped. I love the GCC scene and I'm glad other have given back their knowledge to the community 😃

[@northgamingsupply]

Thank you! Pumped you checked em out! Lets definitely collaborate in the future

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Looking forward to that collaboration😯🙏🙏🙏

[@ItsETECH]

IM SO JEALOUS OF HOW THIS CAME OUT!! love all the work you put into this series and I really would love to cast my own molds but man is that expensive. Loved the videos and hope to get enough money to start making molds and doing mods sometime soon!! Have a great break my dude!

[@mariocalderon6201]

man just watched the whole series and realized how much work and passion goes into making stuff like this now I won't feel bad when I see those $170+ prices tags on them

[@drewgrenzner4278]

Holy cow. Thanks a ton for making these vids. They’re really great in all aspects. You’ve inspired me to try making some things for the Nintendo switch.

[@TarotLadyLissa]

Why don't you have a million subs?!! I love the way you explain things, and film/edit your videos! I might have to commission you to make me a custom one day! lol

[@im_Spade_]

How in the actual FUCK does this channel not have at least 200k+ subs if not more. This was AMAZING :DDDDDD

[@Gamer_Ayame]

Holy shit. You’re my hero. Lol. What an incredibly detailed series you have put out. You deserve more love!!

[@ChiodosBlowsDogs]

Dude this is sick as hell. Seriously man I was painting my controllers and I was doing a pretty decent job at it for being a beginner but, THIS is what I need to do that controller is seriously a work of art man absolutely beautiful.

[@ycleptubi8935]

Goodness me, the finished product is truly stellar!

[@Main-Quest-Sidebar]

This is such a comprehensive and complete guide... Your time and knowledge are much appreciated

[@MEngelberts]

I've always been super curious about this process, I even looked into some casting stuff a couple years ago, but nothing has been this informative or specific! GameCube controllers seem a bit of my reach but as someone that enjoys all fighting games creating different plungers for push buttons would be super cool and something I might consider doing in the future. Thanks for making these super indepth videos!

[@spencersipes5638]

Thank you for making such an amazing and comprehensive tutorial on how to make these. I recently got into modding and I'm excited to make a set of these to put into my portable Wii. Can't wait to see what you make next.

[@ChiIexican]

Holy crap, this is the best looking custom controller ive ever seen

[@alexkrause5550]

I don't understand how you have very few followers. You have very good production quality and detailed information

[@deepfishdev]

I can’t believe how professional that video was OOOOOWEEE!! Very nice indeed! You sir, just earned yourself a sub! I’m sure more subs are yet to follow!

[@tax223]

Thank you so much. You're incredible

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Hey you are doing great things my man didn't know you had a you tube channel. Video production quality and knowledge gained here is top notch keep it up man!

[@northgamingsupply]

Thanks!

[@josephhelder4084]

Yo this is sick

[@cc-nr6kc]

Daaaaaaang

[@shvrkkii]

this is fucking sick. it's making me wanna get into casting once i have the money for it

[@XScarletVenomX]

I enjoyed watching your video, however this hobby is too expensive for me, but I appreciate the craftsmanship, very informative and dedication. I will probably end up just buying an already custom built one from the modding community.

[@chaosbreaker]

these vids are phenomenal

[@northgamingsupply]

Thanks so Much!

[@nathanhawey455]

This is so cool!!! Nice work!

[@DigiDeoBuilds]

Make a video about how you make your molds! They look amazing I’m working on getting everything together to make my own and would love to know how you made yours they’re so uniform and perfect!

[@antwaa2n000]

I am so glad I watched this, I was thinking about attempting to cast PS5 shells, but after watching this I was like, Naw I'll pass on that one

[@sebco7854]

AMAZING! Watched all the episodes back2back. Thanks for your time and expertise. Just had one question. How did you get the logo on the controller (above the start/select button)? Thanks in advance

[@northgamingsupply]

It comes through on the silicone mold when you cast it!

[@helx9965]

He casted a smash 4 controller, and the paint logo has a smoother finish than the actual controller. When it was cast, it showed up

[@evergavidia4161]

Hi, I've been watching these series and it's the most informative and well edited video by far, too bad not a lot of ppl can appreciate this kind of work. Also i was wondering if you had a link to the tools you used for these videos ( mostly pressure chamber, vacuum,resin) ? Big fan from El Salvador ty for the videos.

[@pip4349]

DUUUDEE, Imagine this with notches! Goomy pls :o

[@Dewabarasunderan]

Hey Zach, congrats to your baby girl, hope you’re withstanding corona successfully! Had a look at your shop and was wondering about the pricing, since there wasn’t any. Can you tell me the price for a full button set + shipping to Germany? Will you make some for the power A wireless GC controller anytime soon? Anyhow I subscribed to your channel, since your videos and craftsmanship are awesome 👏;)

[@northgamingsupply]

Thanks so much for the well wishes! Shipping varies on what you choose, but my full sets go for $60- I currently don't make buttons for the powerA controllers :/

[@ctochtli2964]

Hey great video, really nice presented and explained (the best one so far in you tube) by the way. Is posible a tutorial for the conductive rubber on the controller, I have a snes mini but the controller only endure 2 years of use (my original snes controller still working after 25 years of rouge use) but the new one not, 🤔 I'm asuming that is a similar process.

[@bluehuman1238]

If you made the mold from a shell with the Nintendo GameCube logo instead of the smash ball, would it also be visible after casting?

[@8r0k3n1]

Wow, wish I had the time, tools and products needed to do this. They look awesome. How much do they end up costing based on all materials?

[@icandoodlee]

I’d say around 1-1.5k to get started

[@djjilla7754]

Is there a chance of you making wii nunchunk thumbsticks out of resin?

[@migueltudela9416]

Can you make a joycon casting? I'm very interested in this of casting and I want to try it with my switch but I would like to see a video first especially for the plastic that you would use for the shell. Grate video

[@lvortexl3701]

are the preasure pot and air compressor really needed? Or is it okay if i dont use it

[@Phrixus546]

Hey, I have no idea why you haven’t posted in so long, but I think it would be cool if you made a custom switch controller like this!

[@poophead7202]

Are you selling the silicone molds? I would be interested in purchasing some instead of buying most of the equipment, since I’m only interested in the left thumbstick mold?

[@mirkodiresta6923]

C'è possibilità di avere un video tutorial dettagliato su i pulsanti del pad della ps5? Basato su stampi e colate in resina ?

[@payme4243]

This was awesome but is there a price total?

[@raincatchfire]

Real talk, what would happen if you tried to use an instapot?

[@LeoSilva-ie4jg]

Legal, será que dá pra fazer o mesmo com um vídeo game inteiro?

[@M19u3I]

make a 3DS XL clear case :p this is gonna make you rich :D nice video m8. subscribed

[@EternalBeast97]

That controller is too beautiful to use, amazing work! Are you able to do all this for without a pressure pot? I’ve casted some buttons and they come out with a few air bubbles, but I want to try and make a mold of a scuf impact shell I have since I want to add buttons to it as I don’t like the paddles.

[@northgamingsupply]

Thank you! You really do need a pressure pot for the best results

[@EternalBeast97]

North Gaming Supply you’re welcome! And yeah I get some minor pin holes at times but since my mold wasn’t perfect to begin with some parts end up missing.

[@HoveKB]

I see I see... so where can I purchase this?

[@XX-ep5xt]

Do you do commissions?

[@coltonmullins4980]

You do some incredible work! I have a question for something I'm wanting to try. Is it possible to make the buttons out of silicone or rubber? I know that for buttons that can be difficult because of the "teeth" used to align it with the shell (buttons may not stay in shell). I want to make some soft touch style buttons for my raiju tournament controller and my PS Vita but I'm wondering how to do it. For the vita, I think I'll just glue the buttons onto the silicone pad that presses the buttons on the board. For my raiju however, I'm not sure what to do or even if it's possible. Anyone got any tips or thoughts about this?

[@northgamingsupply]

Thanks! Yeah it’s the same process you’d just use a rubber compound instead of resin

[@coltonmullins4980]

@@northgamingsupply awesome! Are there any you would recommend? And do you know of any clear rubber/silicone compounds that work well?

[@soundpixel9867]

Are you on etsy?

[@victorstk]

Where can order these?

[@SebastianGarcia-go4tx]

Do you offer any online classes on how to do this kind of work? I'd pay a premium for it :D

[@lachcik5084]

omg i want this controller...how??

Did you quit youtube ?

Snes consoles can be very yellow with time. I can't find Any replacement shells for my snes console. Can you do a complete snes console?
