I honestly don’t know why anyone would skip ahead just to see the controllers in action. The real entertainment comes from your trial and error, the tough things you went through and the meticulous detail you added to get these controllers just right, and the amazing feeling you get when you see them completed. I come back to this video every few months just to be amazed. Fantastic work, Shank. I love your content. Keep it up.

Like all their gameboys since the Gameboy Pocket have been the same dimensions. GB Pocket = GB Color = GB Advance = GB Advance SP (opened) = Nintendo DS (Closed) = Nintendo DS Lite (Closed) = Nintendo 3DS (Closed) and arguably the 3DS XL/New 3DS when closed, although they're slightly bigger.

No one mentioned it but using a printer to scan the surface area of the halved controller is one of the most ingenious methods I have ever seen. Kudos for the idea. I will use it in my personal projects.
I believe Ben heck used this method a lot. Putting the device in the middle across from the middle of the scan head will be the most accurate since they need lenses to expand the height across the whole head.
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Your attention to detail is astounding, and the way you formatted and edited this video is really clear and engaging. Subscribed, I love this!
@@tomatagamers7110 haha yeah the sheer size of USA amazes me In Malaysia that would bring you halfway across the country In Singapore you can cross the country a few times
Its here finally! NYXI furthered ur creation to heart :). Thank you Shanks for existing lol. Without the idea of going through the heavy work of creating these Gamecube Joycons this would not have been possible. I never tried hall effect sticks but now i wanna bad xd.
@@jordanlaquey5325 Joy-cons have well documented reliability issues, particularly with the thumbsticks. Shank used Wii U Pro / Switch Pro Controller sticks instead, which are a much more traditional size, and much more reliable. They'll likely outlast the sticks he ripped out.
So true, I remember getting a notification for this video, and got recommended this video so many times (even though I have watch still very entertaining.) Legendary work.
I originally watched this video back when it first came out, I was a freshman in high school, I'm watching it again now, and I'm going to be going into University soon. Wow, also Shank, when I watched this video it helped me pursue my passions of technology and other related fields as well, this channel has really opened up my eyes, I have gotten into modding recently, nothing big so far, but all steps, even small ones, are on the journey to greatness, I currently did a case mod and software mod for my 3DS, I'm thinking of doing a hardware mod of my other broken 3ds later down the road, fix it up, trim the mobo, and try to give it my own flare, I'm just not really sure where to start
Something I recently learned (that many might have stumbled on) is that applying some isopropyl alcohol with a cotton swab underneath the rubber sheath of the joycon and then rolling it around will fix that right up. I'm no engineer, but I'd watched a video explaining that it's something to do with residue that builds up as opposed to an actual hardware malfunction. Worked just fine for mine.
asparagus I did this when I got the atomic purple joycon shells. They show up as purple in my switch. I just wish it worked for pro controller shell swaps. Unfortunately unless you use the colors of official pro controller releases, it won’t change in the switch UI.
i can imagine how profitable this would be if this were sold in retail. ( revisiting this comment 4 years later now is funny to see this with the third party company's that ARE making them lol )
@@jonahtv4974 Not really once the base design is setup they could print out everything they need then use custom boards, He is reusing a lot of parts making it rather costly
Imagine showing up to a tournament with these "Woah those look amazing, where did you get those from?" *Made them myself* "That's really awes-" *But at what COST?* "..."
@@six6r actually it probably wasn't a joke, many ppl do this bc document scanners keep dimensional accuracy so you can then import the shape into cad fairly easily Edit: I actually first saw this on a different controller modding channel where he actually explained the technique
Dude, this is epic! I honestly admire people who can manage to pull off stuff like this with electronics, no matter the difficulty of the task not only you always make it work but also in the most efficent way too, it leaves me speechless, in a good way. Great Job!
... I want those Gamecube joycons with a keyboard centerpiece. Like seriously, that is so damned cool. Kudos to you for going above and beyond for the sake of authenticity *and* good feel. Like, I know some modders would've just let those shoulder buttons go all the way down for a digital press signal, but you realized how bad that would feel on a Switch, and made the right decision of limiting them. Fantastic work here.

PVZ MAN right this seems like a great marketing idea Ik I for sure would buy rhis
No one mentioned it but using a printer to scan the surface area of the halved controller is one of the most ingenious methods I have ever seen. Kudos for the idea. I will use it in my personal projects.
A friend of my at uni used a sheet of paper to shade over details with a pencil, similar to those carbonless copy paper or ncr.
This is a trick I will definitly use !
I believe Ben heck used this method a lot. Putting the device in the middle across from the middle of the scan head will be the most accurate since they need lenses to expand the height across the whole head.
i must have missed that part.
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Your attention to detail is astounding, and the way you formatted and edited this video is really clear and engaging. Subscribed, I love this!
agreed
Same
It do be kinda true doe
Agreed
Yea definitely
This is awesome. Your super patient and committed man it’s dope. Looks great
Hardware modders seem so friendly and nice, i wish all gaming communities could be like this.
Would you happen to know the sauce of your pfp? Asking in the name of science 👀

A few hours is nothing
That’s Texas for you.

In Malaysia that would bring you halfway across the country
In Singapore you can cross the country a few times

Its here finally! NYXI furthered ur creation to heart :). Thank you Shanks for existing lol. Without the idea of going through the heavy work of creating these Gamecube Joycons this would not have been possible. I never tried hall effect sticks but now i wanna bad xd.
The funny thing is that the end product is most likely more reliable than official Nintendo joycons.
And it probably lasts more than two years without issues
@@nintenprox4639 try 2 months lol
At least it's gonna be really easy to fix, what with him making most of it
Wdym
@@jordanlaquey5325 Joy-cons have well documented reliability issues, particularly with the thumbsticks. Shank used Wii U Pro / Switch Pro Controller sticks instead, which are a much more traditional size, and much more reliable. They'll likely outlast the sticks he ripped out.
This dude has achieved the title “legend.” Mad respect
Totally
Also the title Legend of Zelda
+ Respect
Can we just appreciate that his tools have googly eyes
sure
(INSPIRATION)
Yes yes we can
Yessssss weeeee can
sadly i cant because appreciation murdered a friend of my wife
Once you use a Game Cube controller you can never feel a new controller normally ever again.
This is literally one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

Look how much time and money he spends just to entertain us, what a legend
So true, I remember getting a notification for this video, and got recommended this video so many times (even though I have watch still very entertaining.) Legendary work.
Ikr
I originally watched this video back when it first came out, I was a freshman in high school, I'm watching it again now, and I'm going to be going into University soon. Wow, also Shank, when I watched this video it helped me pursue my passions of technology and other related fields as well, this channel has really opened up my eyes, I have gotten into modding recently, nothing big so far, but all steps, even small ones, are on the journey to greatness, I currently did a case mod and software mod for my 3DS, I'm thinking of doing a hardware mod of my other broken 3ds later down the road, fix it up, trim the mobo, and try to give it my own flare, I'm just not really sure where to start
Him: the only time these sticks drift is when I'm playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Me: *w h e e z e*
lol
Lmao
But was it actually a joke or a serious issue
@@Flandre-Scarlet a joke
It was a joke. He's doing drifting in Mario Kart and just made a pun from the double meaning 😁
“The only time these sticks drift is when I’m playing Mario kart 8 deluxe”
YOOOO LMAO
HE DIDNT HAVE TO DO THAT
Nope, I had to lol
Something I recently learned (that many might have stumbled on) is that applying some isopropyl alcohol with a cotton swab underneath the rubber sheath of the joycon and then rolling it around will fix that right up. I'm no engineer, but I'd watched a video explaining that it's something to do with residue that builds up as opposed to an actual hardware malfunction. Worked just fine for mine.

"Show me the real controller."
"I said the REAL controller."
"Perfection."
I like the meme
The hardest part in electronics is isolating ground when the signals are different so they don't short together
if you haven’t already you can use “Joy-Con Toolkit” to change the colors of the joy cons on-screen so they show up as purple instead of gray ;)
asparagus I did this when I got the atomic purple joycon shells. They show up as purple in my switch. I just wish it worked for pro controller shell swaps. Unfortunately unless you use the colors of official pro controller releases, it won’t change in the switch UI.
Nintendo: YO WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!
Six months later Nintendo releases to gamestop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
God where did these likes come from?

came here directly from your Hot wheels case mode with LTT and immediately loved your work!!! Will spend next few days watching all your videos!!
i can imagine how profitable this would be if this were sold in retail.
( revisiting this comment 4 years later now is funny to see this with the third party company's that ARE making them lol )
thesnivyproductions119 would cost too much
Nintendo would shut this shit down immediately, then they'd sell it themselves
@@AwkwardHypernerd413 if thats what it would take to get some gamecube joycons, then id do it.
@@AwkwardHypernerd413 I think that's what he meant. If Nintendo sold them.
@@jonahtv4974 Not really once the base design is setup they could print out everything they need then use custom boards, He is reusing a lot of parts making it rather costly

I particularly liked when you “scanned” the shell on a document scanner
You realize 3D printers look exactly like any other scanner or printer right?
@@MrFraknak lol to be fair i know quite a few people that don't know that fact. but the looks on their faces when i tell them is hilarious.
@@MrFraknak They do? No 3d printer I've ever seen looks like a normal printer.
@@six6r actually it probably wasn't a joke, many ppl do this bc document scanners keep dimensional accuracy so you can then import the shape into cad fairly easily
Edit: I actually first saw this on a different controller modding channel where he actually explained the technique
MrFraknak have you ever seen a 3d printer lol
Dude, this is epic! I honestly admire people who can manage to pull off stuff like this with electronics, no matter the difficulty of the task not only you always make it work but also in the most efficent way too, it leaves me speechless, in a good way. Great Job!
What I learned from this video:
1. You are awesome
2. I lack patience for this kind of crafts
3. You can parry Lynel’s charge attack
You can parry all lynel attacks
You can parry every single attack in the game
I just backflip the charge attack, the flurry rush gives so many free hits
@@tamari1910 ?
4. Shank doesn’t charge his switch
"Spent several months making these with intense research"
Nintendo: *lawsuit*
David Alexandrovitch as long as he doesn’t sell it he’s fine.
Nintendo cant sue his ass just for modding a controller lol
Game Boy and yet they can
as long as he’s not selling them he’s good i think 😂😂
@@PrinceKatamari it's a joke my dude
Even though he’s explaining everything as if it’s so easy, this is freakin genius and can’t be praised enough
I just came for the nostalgic view in modern technology. Keep it up.
Honestly, these should be officially sold by Nintendo. It looks SO SICK!!
This could be cool for 3d all stars
so uh is this is weird...how to we have the same profile and almost the same names?🤔
@@deanoboi3078 haha wtf
I would buy

... I want those Gamecube joycons with a keyboard centerpiece. Like seriously, that is so damned cool. Kudos to you for going above and beyond for the sake of authenticity *and* good feel. Like, I know some modders would've just let those shoulder buttons go all the way down for a digital press signal, but you realized how bad that would feel on a Switch, and made the right decision of limiting them. Fantastic work here.
Shank mods: *Makes GameCube Joycons*
Power A and Hori: Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!
I legit would not be surprised within the next year we see these made by them. Watch 'em be $60 too 😂 day one purchase for me
If Hori made them I'd buy them
Ikr I would buy them too. Especially if it’s power A because their wireless GameCube controllers are really good
I just wish PowerA's custom print Switch Pro controllers didn't have flimsy-ass sticks.
I thought Power A left the business
The year is 20XX:
the GameCube controller is still regarded as the greatest controller.
Bruh no cheap plastic on a joystick is not good
Why is this being recommended to me again, I already watched it like a million times
Good, boy, algorithm. Keep it up 😄
I feel you
The RUclips algorithm chooses videos based on a history of what you've previously watched and recommends similar videos. So, since you've watched this video a million times previously, and there's basically NO OTHER VIDEO THAT COMES CLOSE TO ITS AWESOMENESS, it just continues to recommend this one of a kind video over and over to you. Basic math! ;-)
Ok
This is the most rewatchable video
