OEM Custom Controller

Brand new black Smash Ultimate Gamecube controller with an OEM T3 motherboard (NOT Phob) and functional modifications geared towards competitive Smash Bros Melee and Ultimate.

PLEASE NOTE that these controllers are made to order and have a 30 day processing time!

If you order a paracord cable, pick out your color here:
https://www.paracordplanet.com/cord-color-chart/?cord=550

Please note that paracord with metallic tracers isn't a recommended choice. The durability is lacking and sometimes it's impossible to sleeve the cable.

Link the paracord the paracord you want in the cart notes, which you will be able to access after adding the controller to your cart! If you do not select one by the time I start working on your controller, I will choose black.

--Trigger Mods--
MX Cherry Trigger Mod
A mounted mechanical keyboard switch replaces the spring mechanism for the R or L triggers making a lighter and more satisfying tactile feedback.
~
Further reading for Melee players
The Gamecube controller has two trigger inputs:
1. analog - light shield and optimal L cancel
2. digital - normal shield, wavedash, air dodge, techroll

The MX trigger mod can only be mapped to one type of input. So for the ideal trigger layout is One digital MX trigger and one traditional spring trigger that retains both analog and digital inputs. If for some reason you want double digital MX triggers or no only one trigger mod, then send me a message.
-
FIRES Triggers Mod
New springs with less resistance are installed and the triggers are stabilized with the technique used for the buttons. This reduces wear on your fingers and eliminates trigger jams.
-
Trimmed and Lubed Triggers
The OEM trigger springs are trimmed and annealed. This reduces the spring tension and makes for a lighter trigger press. Then the triggers are lubed for smoother gliding and the springs are lubed to reduce spring noise.

--Extra Mods--
Paracord sleeved cable + removable cable
The rubber around the cable is replaced with 550 paracord to reduce tangles and improve the aesthetic. The cable is also removable without the need to solder and can be easily swapped out with other modified controller cables.
Use this website to pick out paracord and send me a link or the exact name of color you want: https://www.paracordplanet.com/cord-color-chart/?cord=550

No-reset snapback module
An 8 switch module (4 vertical & 4 horizontal) with adjustable capacitance to eliminate snapback.

Tactile Z
The original Z switch is swapped out with a more tactile, clicky press. The metal spring can be bent or taken out to significantly reduce the actuation force. Works well with Z jump.

--Addons--
These are mods that I couldn't include in the dropdown but can be added to your order by request with a custom invoice. They are not included in the "All Extras" option. Please message me about the bald & lettered buttons, black c-sticks, adapters and shells before ordering to see what I have in stock.

Notches for Melee
Wavedash notches: $40
I'm only including Wavedash notches as an option until I'm more comfortable notching on OEMs.
-
Mouseclick Z - $35
The best option for Z jump. It offers a very satisfying click that requires about 60 grams of force to press. The switch is also rated for 5 million cycles, beating out the life span of the OEM Z switch. 

There are some cons, though. First and foremost, the switch is mounted in place with a resin bracket and adhesives. This means that the switch can shift position over time and will need to be adjusted or replaced. Second, it is not compatible with resin Z buttons. Resin Z buttons are usually too thick and I will only use OEM Z buttons when installing the mod. The third con is that if you hammer on your Z too hard, you'll kill the switch much faster than 5 million cycles. 
-
Digital Triggers - $20 - controllers with Ultimate MX triggers
If you want to use this controller for other games, then you will want the triggers to be wired for the trigger press to register as both analog and digital inputs. This will allow it to work as it should in Ultimate with the analog signal and allow the digital trigger inputs to be recognized in other games.
-
Bald buttons & Lettered buttons - $35
I keep a limited stock bald buttons done by ToastyTilapia and lettered buttons by Senor Retro. Pictures in listings may not reflect my actual stock, so send me a message if you'd like to see them.

These button sets include ABXYStart + Z + Dpad. 
If ordered with Mouseclick Z, I will use an OEM purple Z but the resin Z will be sent with the controller.
-
Black C-Stick - $15
These are high quality black c-sticks made by SmashProof.
-
Cell Rumble - $25
Replace the original rumble motor with a cellphone rumble. It's a more subtle rumble that won't mess with your inputs and activates slightly faster than the original motor. The replacement rumble bracket is made out of a strong nylon.
- 
Split D-Pad - $20
This particular design splits the D-pad into 4 separate pieces that sit on top of the rubber pad. This eliminates savestate mis-inputs in Training Mode and Slippi chat.

-
Torx Screws - $15
Swap out the original controller screws with more durable Torx screws. They're less likely to strip but they can also be overtightened more easily, so be careful. Another caution: any controller modder that works on your controller after sale will secretly hate both of us, especially if they forgot to pack their Torx screwdrivers.
-
Trigger stoppers - Free with any controller order upon request
Smash Ultimate reads trigger inputs when the trigger is press about 50% of the way down. The trigger stoppers stop the trigger at that point, so you're actually bottoming out your trigger when it's registering an input. This mod is intended for Smash Ultimate players only.
-
Tall & short trigger plugs - Free with any controller order upon request
Tall trigger plugs sit directly on the digital pad, so there's no analog slider movement. Intended for wavedash or shield triggers. Ultimate players CAN request this but please let me know you're an Ultimate player so that I can adjust the Phob trigger settings. This does increase the difficulty to press the trigger by quite a bit.

Short trigger plugs restrict a lot of the trigger's movement but still allows for an analog input. Short trigger plugs can be installed to both triggers without any drawbacks. 
-
Adapter - $55
I keep a limited stock of Lossless adapters by Input Integrity. These are some of the best aftermarket adapter available and they're one of the recommended brands to be used with Phobs. **This does not come with the USB-A to USB-C cable**

SHELLS
MELEE PLAYERS: I CANNOT GUARENTEE SHIELD DROP VALUES WITHOUT SHIELD DROP NOTCHES IF YOU CHANGE THE SHELL!
You may choose to add a different color shell for an additional cost. Please note that these shells are used but I will be as accurate as possible when describing the state of the shells that I have. 

JP White shells: You have the choice of using the entire JP White controller to be modded or just the shell with parts from a brand new controller. I will use the cable since they're often in good condition and the JP White colored buttons and sticks, unless requested otherwise. 

JP White Conversion - $20 
The internals along with the shell/buttons will be used to make your controller.

JP White Shell - $50
Use just the JP White shell with internals from a new black Smash Ultimate controller. Cable and the JP white colored buttons/stick will be used unless requested otherwise. 

Non JP White Shells
At his moment, I'm not offering the same deal as the JP Whites for the other shells. It's too difficult to consistently source good condition T3 controllers in these colors for a decent price. So until I get a good supply, this means the controller will still use the internals from a brand new controller but will have the color of shell that you want. 
**Due to the rusty plugs from these controllers, I won't be using them in the build. So if you'd like me to take off the black plug cover and move the emerald, indigo, or orange plug cover to the new cable it will be an extra $20**

Emerald - $35
Indigo - $25
Spice Orange - $25
