Hey guys I recently finished up this tiny Gamecube controller. It was built into a keychain, and is fully functional as a gamecube controller.

Parts Needed:
GC+ board
GameCube controller keychain
2 joysticks (254SA103B50A)
11 hard tact switches
2 squishy tacts
Perfboard
Magnet wire
GameCube controller cable
3d printed L, R, and Z buttons
Paint

Demo video:


Nudes:

STL and GCODE files for L, R, and Z are attached for anyone who wants them.

That’s so freaking hot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking a “it would be so cool if...” moment and making it a reality. It is indeed so cool.

The squishy orange tacts are just the ones listed in the BOM. Or at least those look exactly like the ones in the BOM.

Here is a link to the BOM. https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/portablizing-bom.367/

Where did you get the keychain from? I can't find it.

Somebody didn't watch the video I got it at Gamestop. They're in little blind grab bags (backpack buddies) that you have to feel to find the right one. If your closest gamestop doesn't have them, you can have them print you out a receipt with the locations near you that do stock them.

In the video it appears you are using the wii-u usb adapter on your Wii portable?
I think this would be the perfect size for my daughters, and I'm in the planning stages for a Wii portable that I plan to make "Dockable" like our SWITCH.
So using the usb port would make connections so much simpler (thinking USB-C for communication, power and HDMI [probably self-made but as close to industry specs as possible])

I'm not really sure I follow, but the wii u adapter just plugs in and works inside nintendont, no rewiring required
