Gamecube Controller Mod - Paracord Cable Sleeving Tutorial - Custom!

[@RockerGaming]

Thanks for checking out the video guys! let me know what you think of the video, I am shooting with a new camera, in 4K and down sampling to 1080P. Things seem to be more clear to me, but let me know what you think!!

[@Izzy_Free]

Oh yeah camera is spot on looks great.

[@RockerGaming]

Glad to hear it! Thank you very much! Glad its working out! It looked super clear while filming so glad it came across that way on YT!!

[@Tucanazo69]

Looks amazing man

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you! Glad there is an improvement. It's been a long time coming!

[@lincolnlogs9458]

I notice it seems like you installed the ebay button kit on this one... are the thumb sticks rubber? or are they all hard plastic? Also, awesome work!

[@anclenius1587]

I burned my fingers, try sleeving the cable for an hour, melted the plug and almost destroyed my controller. But it totally worth it. Keep it up man.

[@RockerGaming]

Haha, please tell me this is joke! Next time you need some gloves :)

[@xXRedBuLL13Xx]

RockerGaming is it normal that its been 3 hours and i only did the taped part of the controller? Please help!!

[@ChiodosBlowsDogs]

@@xXRedBuLL13Xx You probably used too much tape or didn't wrap it tight enough. And, yeah the taped part more me takes almost as long at the rest of the cable. If the tape is kind of fat in the paracord and you're having trouble moving the cord over the tape try twisting the paracord one way then the opposite way as you pull it across the tape. I realize this comment is 10 months long and this likely won't help you but, I ran into this exact problem today so, I figured I'd give an answer.

[@xXRedBuLL13Xx]

@@ChiodosBlowsDogs thanks man!

[@xreev0x]

You can tape the inner strands to the pins and use the inner strands as a “cable snake” to pull the cable into the outer sleeve.

[@RockerGaming]

Sounds like I need to add this to my list of videos. I'll have to talk to zenith about it as well. I'd love for him to do this video topic or possibly collab with me on it.

[@dabird54]

Thanks for putting this vid together. The packing tape around the pins was just the tip I needed.

[@cerenar.]

Hey Rocker! Thanks in part to your videos, I've started my own modding journey. I wanted to share something that I found while sleeving my own paracord the other day. Instead of using packing tape, I took all six pins and put them into the cut off end of a small pipette. It made it easier to get the paracord on to cable initially and made the process really smooth and strain free. Thanks for setting me on the right path initially!

[@RockerGaming]

Dude thats awesome! Can you please link me to the pipette? I'd like to check it out!! Cheers!

[@cerenar.]

So I'm afraid I have some bad news. It's not possible to get the pipettes that I've been supplied with unless you know someone in veterinary medicine. :/ My mom happens to work for a vet, and they got passed on to me. I tried calling the supply company, but it was no dice to order the pipettes individually. The best I can do is tell you that their diameter through the middle is 0.25", their length is 3.5", and they hold 0.5 mL of liquid. I may try experimenting with some other options off of Amazon to try to find a more permanent solution in the future, but here's the link of what I think will work best if you feel bold enough to try your luck first.

[@jmffer]

Followed your vid to paracord the OldSkool gamecube controller as a fun project, the inner cable on that controller isn't shielded and has the 6 smaller cables inside of it instead. Was a real pain figuring out how to de-sleeve until I realized that you can just snip the sleeve and grab all 6 cables and pull them thru the sleeve almost as if you were using the 6 cables to cut it along a seam. Once that was done, getting the paracord on wasn't too bad, I thought the packing tape was a solid recommendation. I also soldered the paracorded cable back onto the controller before putting the plug back on the jack lol Other than that, pretty cool project and a big THANK YOU for this vid to help me thru it!

[@BrandonPrintiss]

Love the attention to detail and the MUSIC is top flippin' tier man!

[@ch3rry833]

8:00 This is a blunt. It is just a blunt

[@techhoarder3416]

Very nice! Will have to try this when I get around to making my own custom controllers. One quick question -- does leaving the original black cable sleeve make it too thick to thread through the paracord sleeve?

[@tylergebert352]

Exactly what I'm wondering. I was planning on doing that to begin with, figured it would give it overall more durability, and make the whole job simpler.

[@Izzy_Free]

Great video i sleeved my first one this last weekend. Id just note when soldering back onto the main pcb it has a 1 and 6 printed on the board so you know which way to install it. Great work as always keep it up!

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you and Excellent point! I should have noted that as well, its labeled on the board and on the plastic connector, makes it easy to put back together!

[@cvsmashmods9447]

There is a much easier way to sleeve the cord. You can use the white string inside the paracord as a pull system. Taping the white string to the cord. It makes it a little fatter, but you can pull and push the wire through. Rather than the chinese finger torture method. Super good video though thanks for making it!

[@RockerGaming]

have you used the method your recommending? I tried it with zero luck, but perhaps I was doing it wrong. Either way, I appreciate the comment!!

8:07 this guy rolls. If you slip out the white center strand couldn’t you just tape or attach the cable to one end of the white center and slip it through in one motion?

[@specty5815]

I was also wondering that !

[@Izzy_Free]

The way the paracord stretches and shrinks when you pull it make it difficult to pull the old guts out. Idk if you have some fish tape that's slim enough might work though.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I tried this once with no luck. Like israel said the sleeve doesn't cooperate very well when trying this. I also tried using a thing called a bodkin (used for sewing) with no luck. The packing tape method does seem to work the best.

Hey have you ever thought about using the thread already in the parachute cord to help pull the wire through the parachute cord by securing one end to the cable and pulling on the other end of cord.

[@RockerGaming]

James, much appreciated. I have attempted it with not great results. It comes down to the paracord not being rigid enough for that to work. I do wish there was an easier way to make it work.

[@soloshgg1002]

Can you use a hair dryer because not everyone has hot air guns :(

[@SwareJonge]

I prefer to put a heat shrink tube that fits over all the pins and then use a slightly bigger one that extends to the copper shielding. also something odd I noticed is that one Paracord I had just didn't work at all, I think it has to do with the material used and because of that it stretches less and can't fit over the cable. Nonetheless, this is a great tutorial and for every beginner I can't recommend enough to take your time for everything

When taping together the wires so that you can sleeve them you use tape. Would it matter if I use a small piece of heat shrink instead? since I have alot of trouble taping the thing down.

[@RockerGaming]

The problem with heat shrink is it doesnt slide well once in the paracord and you risk pulling it off the wires. Unfortunately I learned this lesson the hard way lol

[@Chamaquito1234]

@@RockerGaming thanks for the reply, I just hate doing the tape method. I'm just so bad at getting that rocket tip.

[@RockerGaming]

@@Chamaquito1234 I dont disagree with you, its not that easy. Other thought would be to cut all the pins off and just direct solder the wires to the pcb. I have used that method many times and it works well!

[@Spyrospeed99Gaming]

Might be a bit late but hopefully you'll see this: I did the whole process and physically the cables look great! However my controller now has random input drops, inputs that I never put in, and sometimes just wont connect. Any chance you might know what's going on? Thanks!

[@888TMONEY888]

won't this allow the copper shielding to get corroded?

[@RockerGaming]

No it will not

[@diegoleon5662]

I think I might have messed my board up it seems there a bit of brown where there Cord should be solder and when I plugged it in to my GameCube it would turn off.Its in right but I think that that's the boards fault

[@LiLTaco186]

For the paracord should we get the 10ft or 25ft length

[@RockerGaming]

I always recommend 25. It's a bit more $ but it affords you the ability to make mistakes without having to order more

[@garygeneseo2617]

what kind of heat shrink tubes should I get?

[@RockerGaming]

You know I dont know the size I bought off hand but 550 paracord is 5/32" so something slightly bigger than that.

[@chistorm1]

Far from being a nightmare project but quite a bit you have to do just for cool cord :( lmao Gonna tackle this next weekend

[@Di2tyMug3n]

I'm loving the video man keep up the great work

[@RockerGaming]

Much appreciated dude! Thank you very much for checking it out and dropping a comment!

Hey there, I just installed the paracord and it looks sick! However, when I tap jump (ssbm) I do an aerial to the right. Do you know what could be causing this? Didn’t notice it before the mod
