This is a teardown guide on the GC Legacy wired controller by Retro-bit, Model Number RB-GC-4718, a 3rd party controller compatible with the Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo Wii using a Gamecube controller cable and port.

This will show how to remove the screws, the membranes, buttons, and printed circuit board.

    • On the back of the controller, there are four visible screw posts around the controller. Use a PH00 Philips head screw bit to remove the screws.

    • A brand new controller likely has an inspection sticker on the bottom of the back of the controller.

    • This sticker is covering a fifth hidden screw. Use a sharp object to peel off the sticker, then use the PH00 screw bit to remove the last fifth screw.

    • After removing the screws, the back shell piece can be removed from the controller.

    • Be careful! The wire is attached to the printed circuit board inside a soldered connector. This cable cannot be removed. Do NOT pull on the cable too hard.

    • The ZL and ZR buttons are one piece. Simply grab one side and lift it out of the shell.

    • The L and R buttons are the next piece that can be removed. Simply grab them and lift them out of the shell.

    • The actual switch for the ZL/ZR buttons are soldered to the printed circuit board, while the L and R buttons are actuated by a membrane piece on their own daughter board, attached to the main board by a soldered ribbon cable.

    • Lift up on the small, rectangular daughter board out of its grooves.

    • The membrane can then be removed from the controller.

    • The printed circuit board can then be removed from the controller shell by hand.

    • The board, cable and L/R boards are all attached together.

    • The front shell of the controller will have the front side buttons and its membranes.

    • In this disassembly, the A-B-X-Y membrane was stuck to the printed circuit board. It may instead rest over the buttons on the front piece.

    • Remove the turbo button's membrane by hand or tweezers.

    • Remove the clear button's membrane similarly.

    • Remove the Start/Select membrane by hand or tweezers.

    • Remove the D-Pad membrane similarly.

    • If the A-B-X-Y buttons are covered by a membrane, that may also be removed at this time.

    • The last remaining pieces are the A, B, X and Y buttons, the Turbo button, the Clear button and the D-Pad.

    • Remove each piece by hand or tweezers.

    • Alternatively, place a flat palm over the front shell, then use your other hand to turn the shell over. The pieces will fall onto the flat palm for a quick button removal.

    • The square chip on the middle left of the printed circuit board reads: 2322 36100.1

    • Interestingly, the board labels the select button (on the bottom-middle-left) as the Y button.
