8BitDo Unveils Wireless Mod Kit for GameCube Controllers

The new mod kit, available for preorder, transforms wired GameCube controllers into Bluetooth devices compatible with Switch and Android.

  • 8BitDo's new $26 mod kit allows users to convert wired GameCube controllers into wireless Bluetooth controllers.
  • The mod kit includes Hall Effect joysticks, a trigger pack, and a rechargeable 300mAh battery with around 6 hours of playtime.
  • The kit is solderless and involves replacing the controller's PCB with a new drop-in board.
  • To connect the modified controller to an original GameCube, a separate $26 Retro Receiver is required.
  • Preorders for the mod kit are open now, with shipping set to begin on September 25.
