Tactile Z-button question

I ordered an OEM controller with some mods in it, one of them being a tactile Z button. I’m also considering buying custom red buttons to replace the default ones, and this includes the Z button.

I’m very new to custom gc controllers so I don’t know much, but would the custom Z button be interchangeable with the tactile Z button? Could I swap the default button with the custom one and still have the tactile feel?

I made my own phob but I am having calibration issues.

https://reddit.com/link/1gq4ctt/video/oiwfarcuel0e1/player

Hey reddit. Recently me and a friend made our own phobs. We went to calibrate them. his worked but mine is doing what you see in the video. Someone suggested that I make sure magnets are pushed in BUT after opening up the controller and doing so, I am getting the same result. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. I have my own screw driver now so I am able to open it up and send pictures if needed.

Spicy Stick Broke 🫠

Hey yall, I just got a phob motherboard installed in my Wii U GCC thats like 8ish years old, and obviously after my first weekly using it it falls off the table and shatters the spicy stick that I've had for like 2-3 months.

Came here to ask:

  1. Has anyone else had an issue with their sticks shattering? If so, which ones? (Obviously I'm gonna be more careful if I get another full resin stick lol).
  2. What are ppls stick recommendations in general?

Thanks so much yall.

OEM randomly light shields

I took out the spring and I took out the left potentiometer to make it so the left trigger can only do digital inputs and somehow my controller still registers light shield inputs from the left trigger. Any ideas how to fix this? Unplugging and plugging in temporarily fixes this until I press L a few times then it happens again.

Is it worth switching the board of a 3rd party GameCube controller to a first party controller?

I recently bought my first first party GameCube controller on ebay. It works well, but the only problem is that the main stick is slightly loose and can cause unintended inputs to the stick. I have some 3rd party controllers (the ones that look like a first party controller but without a Nintendo logo) that have good sticks, as well as having a clicky z button. My controller has a type 2 motherboard so I would need to desolder the stick box, and I have neither the tools nor the skills for the job. It is worth it to just swap the board, keeping the buttons, silicon pads, and shell?

8bitdo mod kit buttons swapped?

Hey everyone, just installed the new NGC mod kit, but it seems like the face buttons are backwards. As in, B and A are swapped, as well as Y and X.

Everything else is fine. I'm using the 8bitdo wireless adapter to connect it to my PC. Could that be the issue?

Where would be a good place to sell phobs/modded controllers?

I have a few phobs and modded controllers from playing smash over the years, and I am looking to sell them. I am willing to let them go for pretty low but I don’t know how to go about selling them.

Whats the difference of 3rd party button membranes/pads from the OEM ones?

Since i own both a wavebird, and a 3rd party controller (wich button pads worn out) i was wondering whats the difference between these two, obviously the OEM ones feel softer but do they tend to wear down at the same rate as the 3rd party ones? i ask because im gonna buy either a oem or replacement pads

Are there custom character themed shells to buy that aren’t controller scam chaos or 4 year delay Foxpad customs?

Control in Color seems nice but they don’t have character themed designs except a few like Minecraft
