 Within the ''Brawl'', ''Project M'', and ''Smash 4'' tournament scenes, GameCube controllers are ubiquitous, though a few players are dedicated to using other, niche controllers, such as the Wiichuk or Classic Controller.
-Due to the wireless nature of Wii Remotes, Wii Remotes are required to have their batteries removed whenever their owner is not playing a match, as they can interfere with other remotes trying to sync to the console and with the connection process involved with GameCube controllers, where [[port priority]] can be important. Players who do not comply with this can be disqualified. The Wavebird is also generally banned in large-scale events; the controller allows for only twenty potential channels between it and its dongle, and a large amount of such controllers being used at once can potentially lead to interference issues between different players at different setups. Unofficial, third-party controllers are usually allowed, but those which include turbo or macro buttons are banned, as they can provide an unfair advantage in regards to [[button mashing]] and other techniques.

In additional, players could set their controller to the same channel as another player on purpose, to interfere with other players. Unofficial, third-party controllers are usually allowed, but those which include turbo or macro buttons are banned, as they can provide an unfair advantage in regards to [[button mashing]] and other techniques.
 The decision of whether or not modified controllers should be banned or not is up to the discretion of the tournament organiser, though a ban does not necessarily have to be black-and-white, with differing mods potentially requiring different regulations.
