How to Case Mod Your Gamecube Controller

The Nintendo GameCube's oddly shaped controller made it awkward to play many games like "James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire." What some gamers did to make their game-playing experience better was to mod the controller's yellow joystick button. This small button did not provide the user with much control, making precise movements very hard to perform. By modding the controller, a larger, more precise gray joystick button can be put into the yellow joystick button's place to increase its performance.

  Push the small, yellow joystick button out of the controller.
- 5
  Slide a gray joystick button into the yellow joystick button's place. Slide the circuit board into place.
