3rd party xbox triggers, very nice! (would work with GC!)

[Jidan]

So I stopped by my local game store (who's owner is friends with Ben ) and picked up a GCN and some 3rd party Xbox controller because I wanted the triggers. Well, turns out that they were better than I thought! They've got a lot of length to the whole assembly, so it's stable. Also, it's got room where the trigger hits on the end to stick a tact switch for the button on GCN. Another plus is that since it's xbox, there's R3 and L3 buttons, which means free tacts for Jidan

Here's a link:

There's not a ton of travel on the triggers, but enough to make me happy, and it seems similar to what the GCN has This thing only cost me $2, too

Turns out that the Gamestop xbox controllers also have the same triggers (thanks joey)

Nice find. I've been looking for some good gamecube triggers.

They work great - if you file a little bit out of where the controller hits, you can stick a tact under it so that only the button sticks out and maximize travel distance

Did you find out what company makes them?

It's a Pelican controller.
I can tell by the giant Pelican logo.

I posted up there that it was an Xbox Pelican Controller. I can't find it online yet, though.

EDIT: I can't seem to find it anywhere The closest thing I can find is the Eclipse controller:

As you can see from the picture (that seems to be missing the green things on the side; I tore them off to get it apart), it's nearly identical except for the logo.

EDIT2: FOUND IT! Lol

Hey, I can get these at Wal-Mart! Too bad they're $20 each.

Ooh. x_X That's awful. That's why used bins are the best at game stores
