This is the original gamecube controller

The GameCube controller is the standard game controller for the GameCube home video game console. Manufactured by Nintendo, it was released on September 14, 2001 in Japan, on November 18, 2001 in North America and in May 2002 in Europe and Australia. It was also re-released on the international launch of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and the PAL launch of its successor, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

WaveBird Wireless Controller

The WaveBird Wireless Controller is a radio frequency-based wireless controller based on the same design as the standard controller. It communicates with the GameCube system wirelessly through a receiver dongle connected to one of the system's controller ports. It is powered by two AA batteries. As a power-conservation measure, the WaveBird lacks the rumble function of the standard controller. The WaveBird came in two colors, grey and silver (Platinum).

Versions

The GameCube/Wii SDK PAD library defines six firmware revisions of the controller, although more than six revisions are known to exist with physical differences and the same firmware.
