Six versions of the GameCube controller are known to have existed, with six firmware versions also indicated in [[Dolphin SDK/PAD|PADSetSpec]].
''Info needed: What are the speed markings on prototype GameCube controllers? Do they refer to the clock speed of the devkit they were intended for?''
=== Dolphin Controller Test 01 ===

A board dated to 1999, found by a collector through an unknown source and subsequently lost in the mail. Earliest known dated controller prototype. Has an RJ-45 connector likely for use with a [[GameCube/Development Hardware#Minnow|Minnow]] or another early development kit such as a [[GameCube/Development Hardware#DDH|DDH]]. Has a half speed marking. Has ten buttons and two sticks; the mapping is not entirely clear as this doesn't match the button count of the final controller or other prototypes. Has a [[GameCube Controller/Hardware Documentation#DOL-CNT|DOL-CNT]] chip.
=== Nintendo Museum Controller ===
