Moreover, while the mod kit is designed for Bluetooth functionality with the Switch and Android, it can also be used with the original Gamecube console, provided that users purchase an additional $26 retro receiver.
By using 8BitDo’s mod kit, gamers can enjoy the benefits of truly wireless gaming. While various adapters exist to enable wired Gamecube controllers to connect to the Switch, this new mod eliminates the need for cumbersome cables.
To install, players simply need to open up their controller and replace the old PCB with the updated one. Pre-orders are currently available, with shipping set to begin on September 25, making this the perfect time to upgrade your gaming setup.
