    A great budget substitute for a Wavebird

    Posted by Eric S. on May 18th 2024

    Shipping was fast and setup was easy, but I couldn`t get the triggers working properly, so I returned it. After getting the Blue Retro Bluetooth adapter by Laser Bear instead, I discovered that this just needed a software update to work. If you want a single player wireless GC controller and want to save some money, this is for you. If you don`t mind spending a little extra & doing some novice-level modding, then I suggest the Laser Bear mod instead.

    The Great Unifier

    Excellent. Easy to program, and allows the use of most modern controllers on the GCN. I’ve been able to use this adapter plus others of similar type to consolidate most of my consoles to one controller. In my case, the 8Bit-do Pro 2, which is compatible with Blue Retro.

    Sweet Wireless Option

    Posted by Nate on Oct 26th 2023

    Bought 2 of these to pair with switch pro controllers. Super quick and easy to pair, works like a charm. I have a few wireless solutions for gamecube controls but have been using the pro controller so much on switch over the last few years it`s the controller I`m most comfortable with lately, so to be able to use it on gamecube is prettt sweet.
