Saving a Rare Emerald Blue GameCube Controller

You can order your own GameCube controller from me here: retrostalgiastore.etsy.com
This emerald blue GCC was in rough shape when I got it, so I stripped it apart completely, gave it a good clean, soldered on some anti-snapback capacitors and a tactile Z, then finished it off with a handmade cream paracord wrapped cable.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that

[@distion]

Very well done, I had no idea you could re-sleeve a cable like that.

[@RetrostalgiaOfficial]

Thanks! It's quite cool hey? Not everything can be re-sleeved, but GameCube controllers work great

[@drewfus-gl9ps]

can send in a controller would it be cheaper? i’m very interested in re doing mine

[@RetrostalgiaOfficial]

Depends on where in the world you live! Because I'm based out of New Zealand right now it can get a bit costly to send in. Shoot me a message on Etsy if you'd like to work out what can be done
