Am I a joke to you?

Obviously their mod is different but I gotta show love.

Yeah but rumble

edit: ok

bold and not

Extra points if you edit it so that the letters alternate between bold and not.
Edit: it's beautiful

Did the wavebird really not have rumble? Huh.

It did not. Didn’t the first ps3 controllers not have rumble also?

But the Wavebird came out after the original GameCube controller so it seems like a regression. I imagine there was some legitimate reason for it, like the battery was already dying too fast.

Considering used AA batteries I would say that battery was definitely a factor. It basically brought in the era of wireless controllers, though, so I’d say it was pretty good.

I was about to say "have you seen the price of them in 2024" but it's actually down quite a bit from when I last looked

I might finally get myself one

A friend of mine dabbles in video game collecting so I knew the price was high there for a bit. My OG Wavebird is in a plastic tub in my parent’s basement with the rest of my old video game gear.

Sorry. They put the whole bin out in a yard sale for five bucks (I talked them down to 2).

Had no idea they had mod kits! Definitely gonna grab this and the N64 kit.

I'm having trouble using my sn30 pro on steam os. Really a little sad about that but I don't think it's the controller I think it's my Bluetooth settings being weird.

Im using a ultimate Bluetooth on my deck without issue. Its getting detected as a switch pro controller.

I wouldn't say I got it figured out, but I shut down and restarted and it started working as it should. So no harm no foul.

Switch modes, when I'm having trouble it's usually on X when it should be D or vice versa

I actually did a restart and it's fixed now. No idea what changed but it's working great.

Damn I might have to look at this. I was thinking about getting a NYXI Wizard since that one acts as Joycons

Edit: Oh it's just a modkit. I don't own a GameCube controller lol
