I gotta say the melee and gamecube communities as a whole are a breath of fresh air. The dedication and the polish that goes into everything, as well as the attention to detail, and focus on functionality is making melee a joy to learn!! Always loved the series, tried to get into ultimate and that wasn't for me, then I just found slippi, and am having so much fun. Coming from Anime FIghters I had no idea melee had so much depth, aside from wavedash and matchup knowledge I thought it was just smash, but a tad better.

[@MichaelMartinez-pn6ur]

The return of the king

[@RockerGaming]

I am back baby!!! Lets gooooooo!

[@jackdaqui749]

I’ve been in a constant state of refreshing your video page since like September waiting for this update. The trigger system looks absolutely flawless. Love the attention to detail on how everything comes together across all the different mods. Seriously incredible work here, Rocker.

[@RockerGaming]

sorry it took so long. I had to step away and work on other stuff for a bit... doing a lot of this yourself isnt easy and I just didnt want to burn out in the process! I also wanted to make sure all the beta testers were happy prior to release :)

[@jackdaqui749]

@@RockerGaming well worth the wait, my dude.

[@jackdaqui749]

@@RockerGaming Hey RG - quick question for you post-install: Love the way everything came out, and would recommend this to anyone, but having some trouble with Ultimate at the moment. On my Phob build, even if I disconnect the magnets, the controller seems to think that either one or both triggers are being pressed at all times. Checking Melee, the issue doesn't seem to persist. Any ideas? Checking my solder joints, there doesn't appear to be any shorting that I can see. Just curious if you have any thoughts. Thanks!

[@RockerGaming]

@@jackdaqui749 Hey Jack, did you install the pcbs? Hopefully you didnt as you dont need them for phob. Also, what mode do you have your phob set to? I added some more details in the guide just yesterday as a number of phob users seem to be having trouble getting everything going correctly in Ultimate. Also, feel free to message me on Etsy on even twitter. Things get lost on YT super easily.

[@SilverSoloMC]

It's actually insane just how far gamecube controller modding has come. Awesome work!

[@solarbreak]

I was waiting on an update on how this was going to progress. I would never thought it was going to be this extensive. This is incredible.

[@RockerGaming]

The amount of work that went into making all of this was extensive to say the least... like between what happened from the last video to now has been a complete labor of love. This reply is exactly what I had hoped for!

[@seesaw_engel]

This is probably the coolest modded controller I've seen! I love the clear back and LEDs gosh it looks so sick!!

[@illusry7631]

THANK YOU! So glad you put so much effort into this project. I just set mine up and it feels great. I actually like it without any spring, just using the switch actuation, bc I like a really light press like the procon. Also I may try a brown switch for a quieter click, idk.

[@paulmertens7557]

The controller looks so awesome! I really love that such an old console still gets mods that cool :D

[@westoncarter7785]

Controller modding has come so far, looks awesome dude!

[@hadesmcc]

This is a really cool kit! Congratulations on the awesome work.

[@davidkim3786]

Never thought of using switches for the triggers! Very smart! Great mod

[@jonathinpotato7267]

This controller looks awesome! I've been wanting to get into the modding scene for GameCube stuff more recently after watchin your videos! keep up the truly amazing work!

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you!!! Modding is amazing and a ton of fun, enjoy it, there is nothing like playing on something YOU built from the ground up!

[@stillo95]

Another piece of art by RG!! It is amazing how each time you get a new mod into your hands, the final result keeps blowing up my mind. I wish I had the passion and talent to achieve a mod half of the quality of yours...

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you!! Man you CAN DO IT TOO! Just keep working at it and the skills and ideas come along with it!

[@matthewhodson4604]

It’s amazing what you have put into a GameCube controller in terms of parts and your own time! Congrats on the latest success. Definitely the king of gamecube controllers 👑

[@RockerGaming]

Dude much

[@MetalGearDarioLP]

This controller looks astronomical, keep up the great work!

[@mrnewport2818]

Modders never cease to amaze me!! Awesome stuff!

[@puchomagic1872]

Very impressive always coming up with something new 👏🏼 🙌🏼

[@hogan_xyz]

Really awesome kit you’ve put together! I’d love to see you tackle custom switches for the face buttons too. Thanks for the shout out at the end there, and let me know if you ever want to work together on future mods :)

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you for the work you have done and dedicated to the community. If it wasnt for you and Fires this project would have taken a lto longer! I wouldnt mind taking that project on at all. I am curious to see what Phob 2.0 looks like, but what I would really like to do is just make FULL replacement T3 board with tons of features to allow customization and modding to the end users specification. Something like tactile or mouse click buttons would 100% be a feature!

[@moerket3287]

This looks simply amazing my guy.

[@LETHALxMODs]

Can't wait to use this. Waiting on a fresh phob build from Zack and I'm having him throw these triggers in at the same time!

[@laynewoodruff7502]

Looks awesome! I don't think I've seen a strikers specific controller before but my friends and I used to get together to play Strikers and Project M (now P+) every week. Everyone has gotten busy over the past few years but it's nice to reminisce.

[@RockerGaming]

the amount of strikers we played back in the day absolutely nuts! With the World Cup going on this felt too perfect not to try :)

[@Guch_Mane]

Love what u do for the community. We need people like you in smash.

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you so much! I just try my best, the community has given a lot back to me and I appreciate it so much!

[@MikeMonroeMusic]

As someone who’s theorycrafted on how to optimize the mech switch GCC mod, this is a terrific way of going about it, far better than I’ve seen in the past!

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you! The old way worked, but it needed a complete redo to make it work well! I think this accomplishes that for sure!

[@Scottedontknow]

Looks absolutely killer!!! Beautiful work at alway!!!!

[@georgiericci7851]

I would love this controller! I'm amazed that you took the time to make a gamecube controller mechanical. I have wasted so much time and money in my past 4 years trying to get the best controller and I have used MultiShine and other companies but this seems like a step above the rest! I want one so bad!

[@devonsaraiva1369]

absolutely incredible attention to detail! The Next project must be Digital face buttons !

[@Luisinuay]

amazing! been waiting for this mod!

[@sjm4306]

Fantastic job! Happy to see this project in this polished state!

[@RockerGaming]

WE ARE FINALLY HERE, lol. Its amazing how long it takes to actually finish all this up! I have a kit with your name on it ;)

[@ryanduty4237]

The look of this controller is just awesome.

[@ThickpropheT]

Ooo man, gonna hafta pick me up a few of these kits. Can't believe how much polish you put into these. Very impressive.

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you!!! I tried to think of every angle I could on this one, I feel really really good about where it landed!

[@ProMeteor]

finally! I was waiting for this mod as long as the project started, I can't wait to try it!

[@RockerGaming]

Hell yeah! I feel SOOOOO Good to finally have this out there.

[@GeroiDenis]

Such a cool mod. Every time I watch one of your videos I want to mod something myself. But then I remember that my soldering skills are below zero. We have a similar tradition, playing smash on Christmas. :)

[@RockerGaming]

Man the smash traditions with family are so much fun NGL! We look forward to it every year!

[@Charleszard123]

This mod is right up my alley, I love mechanical keyboards and the gamecube controllers

[@Neco-Ico]

I've never been a smash player nor a smash fan but I love watching these modding videos

[@RockerGaming]

I play smash, not well, but I play, these projects and trying to create an edge through controller design, is VERY fun!

[@Xarique]

This looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out 🔥

Dude, I will get a kit out your way next time I send something your way! Youre gonna love this especially with phob!

Man I appreciate the hell outta that! Its hard to get the videos pumped out these days, but I'll tell you what, I absolutely love making them! I am just glad you still feel like that :)

[@Voxanez]

Nice! I've been slowly getting into modding controllers and your videos have been really helpful. I've really just started with paracording cables and I'm trying to move into other things as well. I paid for mechanical switch triggers on one of my controllers and really want to try my hand at it as well.

[@RockerGaming]

Dude, modding is a ton of fun and its even better when you can play with what you make! This mod makes the mech trigger aspect of everything as easy as I have seen to date!

[@sokignano]

I love this mod! Great video!

[@SherZahed]

You struck it out of the park with this one!

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you! I certainly took my time, lol, but this really turned into a labor of love!!

Awesome controller, would love to have one and would pair great with my current cube with GCLoader, hdmi mod, and blueretro!

Hell ya great work. To me you did this quite quickly. Great Job your keeping the gamecube interesting. Also for people that get his kit. You can use your old spring to help assist the eject button on the console. No more sticking eject button a 2 in1 kit

OMG this controller looks great! I really think the triggers will be life changing for the competitive scene (assuming it's allowed)

This is so dope!

[@AsylumSmash]

Has there been thought about having the full slide analog signal with the mechanical switches installed? Nothing would feel better in Melee than both triggers being mechanical switches but with the ability to fully use analog on at least 1 trigger.

[@jadencannell]

Great job!

[@Rylinni]

Wow. What a controller!

[@AMGelardi1]

awesome mod as always, do you think it would be cool to have a switch on one of the triggers so it could go from a instant digital press to just a light analogue press for easy light shields in melee?

[@ryanpupia6932]

I’ve recently gotten into melee and I’m sure I wouldn’t do such a high quality controller any justice. But give me a couple more months and my dedication will payoff for sure

I do love the look of the controller, and this has kind of inspired me to do more work with my 3D printer, I think I have a ps2 controller that's about to change. I always hated the feel of the L1 L2 R1 R2 buttons.

[@andrewnguyen7036]

This is awesome

[@minifigamer9898]

The controller looks great, honestly as evidenced by this, we're probably getting to a golden age of custom controllers, though if there's one problem I have with it, it's that the white just looks real glossy, now glossy isn't bad perse, I mean look at the original model 3ds, in terms of looks, I consider it my favorite (in terms of feel I give it to the 2ds) it's just that glossy combined with "meant to be in someone's hands" usually results in a total fingerprint magnet.

[@RockerGaming]

100% we are in the golden age of modding. The rabbit hole is even deeper and I plan to go a bit further into it, but let there be no doubt the availability of technology has caught up and the mods are getting amazing. Dude... let there be no doubt, I had to keep a microfiber cloth handy to clean the controller constantly, lol.

[@gfxb3177]
