Hardware An Idea That Could Fix GameCube Controllers on Switch

[LightyKD]

GameCube controllers are awesome but let's face it, using them means that you loose "minus", "Home", "ZL" and "capture". An easy way to solve some of this would be to have the "Start" button act in different ways depending on how it's pressed. For example:

- single tap = plus
- hold = capture
- double tap = home
- "start" + "B" = minus
- "start" + "L" = ZL

Additionally there should be an option in the controller menu to swap ZL and ZR with L and R, mostly for racing games and shooters. Can anyone think of any ways to improve on this idea?

That could be a good idea. Can't help you with that however as I don't have the required programming skills. I'm just starting.

I'm just trying to get the idea out there. Maybe enough of us could bug Nintendo about this.

The alternative would be just using the gamecube controller for Dolphin.
