I've always really loved the "Wii" vibe that this build goes for. Most Wii portables go for a GameCube vibe, but this one leans all the way into the Wii aesthetic, and I love it! How do the tact switches feel with the ABYX buttons? I know that the G-Wii's A button suffers a bit from the orange squishy tacts being a bit on the small side, but I've always been curious to know how it feels with buttons that are medium sized like the Wii classic controller.

Super clean looking aesthetic all in all! Beautiful work!

Thank you, that means a lot! The buttons are good with the squishy tacts but not great. It’s very playable but I don’t think it feels quite as good as the actual controller. Also, I had to file the Y hole a bit in the last build, but I’ve edited the 3D model, so it should be fine now.

Love the look of this one. What battery life are you getting?

 

[icy_system]

Thanks! I haven't tested it, but it's probably around 4 hours at least

Nice job! Looks incredibly clean, what are the dimensions of this guy, it looks tiny!

Thank you! 194x87x38mm. Pretty thick, but I wanted to fit the 18650s and classic controller analog sticks
