Anybody have a Japanese White Gamecube Controller?

hey guys,

just wondering if anybody has one of these controllers and if they could tell me if it is actually made in Japan? I know the controller is available exclusively to Japan but I'm thinking that doesn't mean it's not made in China like the North American Gamecube controllers.

if anybody could tell me before I import one that would be great thanks

I don't entirely know what you want, but I'm assuming you are boycotting China? All controllers shoul work with Dolphin with the right adapters, so that is the only thing I can gather.

If so, I don't know if this really pertains to Dolphin enough to be in the support section.

If I had to guess, I would say it is still made in China.

"Controllers" is a sub category of "Dolphin Emulator Discussion and Support" Doesn't look like the category is exclusive to support. Maybe I'm wrong sorry, but it actually says "Anything related to controllers should be posted here"

anyway, parts made in Japan are generally better quality than parts made in China. That's why I was wondering if the white controller is actually made in Japan.

I'll order one and see.

Yeah but your question has nothing to do with Dolphin discussion and support, so I didn't entirely know if it should be a part of this forum...

There are no thread here, for example, like "What is the best PC controller setup?" in this section.

In the end of it all that doesn't matter. I can attest to the GC controllers quality in general; I don't see why the white one would be any different.
