  • Spring Removal (Digital Press)

Removal of spring leaving just digital press (clicky press) and trigger sits at its lowest point

  • Spring Trimming (Lighter Press)

Trimming/shortening of spring such that less force is required to press trigger

  • Trigger Spacers (Height Reduction)

3D-Printed spacers that sit in trigger sliders to reduce the distance that the trigger needs to be pressed

  • Trigger Plugs

3D-Printed plugs that mimic the functionality of Spring Removal except the trigger sits at its peak

  • Trigger Pad Perforations

Small incisions on rubber pads underneath triggers that reduce the tactile feedback (clickiness) of digital press, mimicking the feel of a broken-in trigger

  • Performance Triggers

A combination of Trigger Spacers, Trigger Pad Perforations, and Rienne's Custom Springs (~55% stiffness of an OEM spring)

Miscellaneous Mods

  • Rumble Removal

Removal of rumble motor, negating the need to disable rumble in-game and for weight reduction

  • ABXY Perforations

Small incisions on rubber pads underneath buttons that reduce the tactile feedback (clickiness) of button press, mimicking the feel of broken-in buttons

  • Tactile Z Button

Installation of a new Z button that has more tactile feedback than an OEM controller (more clicky)

Board/Stickbox Types

  • T1/T2

Nintendos older boards with stickboxes that are soldered to the board. All T1/T2 boards have been fitted with T2 stickboxes as they are the more durable/better of the two. These stickboxes are inferior to T3 boards and have been priced accordingly. This option is recommended for anyone looking to test the waters with functional mods for a lower price point.

  • T3

Nintendos most recent boards with stickboxes that are fastened with screws as opposed to being soldered. These stickboxes are much more durable than both T1 and T2 and have been priced accordingly. This option is recommended for anyone looking for the best quality controller without any sacrifices.
