8BitDo's latest mod kit makes your old GameCube controller wireless and Switch compatible
A new $26 kit from 8BitDo upgrades your old GameCube controller. It transforms it into a Bluetooth device compatible with Nintendo Switch and Android.
The original GameCube also works with this upgrade if you get a separate $26 receiver. The mod kit includes Hall Effect joysticks, a trigger pack, and a 300mAh battery. This battery offers around 6 hours of playtime.
Pre-orders are open now, with shipping starting on September 25. Many adapters let you use a wired GameCube controller with the Switch. These include options from 8BitDo and an official one from Nintendo.
But this mod kit provides wireless Bluetooth connectivity. Just open the controller and swap out the old PCB for the new one.
