So uh... This isn't an official GameCube controller. The official ones have Nintendo branding above the start button as well as a differently colored mainboard and tri-wing screws instead of Phillips. There are other slight differences in some components too. Do you mind someone else redoing this teardown with an official controller?

This is pretty close to the official controller. I’ve submitted a separate guide for the official controller teardown.
