@ATHFjman18 While I love my wavebird. I cant help but think owning one is a losing fight. They have components that wear out and quality replacement parts are bit hard to find. Aftermarket parts are basically same stuff that's put into the clones (weirdly stiff button membranes and analog sticks with wild sensitivity range).
@ATHFjman18 One solution, which however isn't much cheaper than actual Wavebirds, would be modifying the GC with the Bluetooth controller board from Laserbear. That way most wireless controllers can be connected to the GC.
@Edd-O There are some clones of the Hori controller. As example the "Old Skool" Digital controllers, which are almost identical to Hori's, only a fraction of their price, however a little bit dodgy d-pads (apparently these can be swapped out with genuine SNES d-pads).
@BongoBongo123 By all logic it should. I cant see them adding any smart chips into something that cheap, so it should give just "dumb" inputs like any other old controller.
