- please do not ask!!!! I will NOT respond
I got mine wired up today, installed it into a normal controller and did some testing. Everything's solid! It works on Wii, GC, and even with my Raphnet USB adapter. Soldering to it was the easiest part, and rumble doesn't require 5v, it worked great over 3.3v.
More testing will be done throughout the next week, and I'll post some pictures of my wiring soon. In addition, the others have all received their sample boards and will be testing them soon as well.
The future is here my friends.

You're doing God's work gentlemen, I salute you.
EDIT: Glad to see the replacement N64 slot available too. Idk why, but I'm super fucking excited about getting some modding done right now! hahaha

Mine came in today! Excited to test
Quick question about the six easy solder holes on the top - are these made to be identical to the holes corresponding to the 6 wires coming out of a 1st party gamecube controller? I see there are solder points for data, 3.3, ground etc, are these holes just alternatives?

No, those should not be used at all. I had them to program the board. The only two that you could use are 3.3v and GND if you really need to, none of those pins is connected to the data line

They should, granted you won't be able to adjust the settings using the settings .dol. They come preflashed so they work right out of the box on Wii and GC with no console mods just like a regular controller would.
EDIT:
Read Aurelio's next post.

oh wow. So I could make a custom fightstick with this and have it work by default on the Wii.
nice. I might invest in this since I have a few OG controllers with snapped mobos. (luckily I have extra Silicon boards to mount buttons onto.)

Sort of. The one available on the BitBuilt store is preflashed with the firmware version 1.0 which doesn't work properly with wii games. Yesterday I've released a firmware update that fixes that issue, but in order to flash it you need to have an homebrew enabled wii or gamecube
