Hi all. Transitioning from emulator to VC (finally) after feeling ambitious and wanting to get into a run more seriously lately, and I can't seem to get past the GameCube triggers. The rest of the controller seems fine however I really dislike the triggers, as for a very long time I've been using an Xbox 360 controller which basically has no "click" when you push it down all of the way. The springs are also really quite stiff on my GameCube controller (I guess it wasn't used much?) and that also gets un-comfortable and annoying to use in runs. I know you can remove the springs, but I'm not sure there's anything I could do about the "click"? The Xbox 360 ones you kind of just push down and they register, no click or anything, I believe they are different types of triggers but I'm not sure.
Anybody ever remove the springs? I know it's a thing in the Smash community to do so for brawl or whatever. Anybody have experiences with doing this? Good / bad? Thanks.
I'd just like to be able to use the Z (L) button a lot quicker than I am without hurting myself (lol), and hopefully it's not taboo in the speedrunning community since pretty much all controllers are used on emulated runs, and SDA doesn't really specify on that in particular for proper runs, only rapid fire. It's more of a comfort thing anyways. Also, is there any way I could just make a link from the Xbox 360 controller to a male GameCube controller end? The Xbox 360 has a round connector which plugs into a dongle that makes it into USB, so I was thinking of cutting one of those in half and seeing what I could do because then it's basically plug and play for that controller, and I'd just use a broken GameCube controller for the end piece. However I'm not sure if this controller uses a different pin system or what, with all the lights and everything it doesn't seem that simple.
