  • And now for the bonus level: controller teardown!

  • The screws on this controller are readily visible, no rubber plugs here. Inside we find: a bare board with a single connector.

  • The cable is nicely threaded inside to allow some slack, to relieve stress on the connector.

  • The front side of the board is almost as bare. A single chip, some passive components, and some contact patches for the buttons.

  • These buttons act just like many remote controls, when pressed, the button bridges the gap between the conductive paint, completing a circuit—making Mario do something cool!
