Does anyone have experience with the after market sticks? Trying to decide if it's worth the effort to fix mine or just track down a replacement.

One time my friend and I were playing Mario Party 1 and he was spinning that stick with his palm with a fury unmatched.
Suddenly it snapped and flew across the room, pegging his cousin right in the forehead.
It was great.

If you replace one of those from donor, remember to put some lithium-based lube in the bowl - NOA did cheap out on that which leads to sticks grinding in the bowl until the sticks are loose and there's small plastic particles everywhere.

>>383668906
i had hand me downs of the gamecube
the controller cut the fuck out of my thumb because it was chewed up by a dog before we got it but god damnit it was the only working one
PROPERLY working controller
any replacement ended up being a defective controller after about 1 month
ended up keeping the chewed up one and the least defective one which would always pull to the right for no reason what so ever

This is the #1 reason the N64 controller is trash. The fucking analog stick almost ALWAYS has slack in it on every fucking controller I've ever touched. I remember it always being a nightmare to dash in Smash 64 because of how loose my friends controllers were.

That, the dumb face buttons, and the lack of a secondary analog stick really make it a pretty mediocre controller.

>>383670069
The gamecube style replacement ones are good in some ways. I think anyone, even a casual player would realize how bad they are for anything with aiming, like 007 or OoT minigames. For platformers or anything else really, it's decent enough. When I compare them one after another, I can tell that the gamecube style one is significantly less precise, but it's playable.

When I was a kid, almost every supermarket had an N64 with something like Banjo Kazooie in the system at the games section so you could try it out, but I never got to actually try it because literally every single one of the controllers I ever saw had a broken stick.

>>383674860
You need to press a little button for them to come out, no even pushing the stick forcibly you can do that

Seriously, the N64's only undeniable flaw.

Would love to buy new controllers for it, but you only get them from China and they are garbage.

>>383680313
Track down one of those Hori controllers if you have the money (they've very expensive now due to increased demand from how shitty the OEM 64 controller is, in combination with the retro gaming market being a generally fucked up bubble economy).

OR just buy a cheap second-hand N64 controller with a ruined analogue stick, crack it open and replace it with a third-party one. You can get metal ones and all kinds now, and they're almost all better than the stock one.
I hear the original sticks were shitty because Nintendo used an el-cheapo degradable lubricant; if you replace the lubricant on a new N64 analogue it'll apparently work fine forever, but ones that are already damaged (ie. 99.99% of the ones in the wild) are damaged to some extent.

The single time I laughed at this text.

I must be super lucky, because most of my controllers work perfectly fine and are still in perfect or near perfect shape.

The exception being the N64 sticks being a bit loose, but I found an old beat up N64 controller at a thrift store, cleaned it up and replaced the totally loose stick with a GameCube style one. For anyone wondering, replacing the N64 sticks is super easy and quick as long as you have small enough screwdrivers to open the controller and help unclip the connector for the analog stick. No soldering or anything like that.

The controller I did this to is fantastic now, it's the one I use for everything except Blast Corps, since for some reason that game doesn't agree with some diagonal inputs from the GCN stick.

>>383678562
sad part is I used this on my ps3 since I got mine in 07 and never used the DS3

>>383677093

PS4 is literally the only console I have played day in day out since i bought it 2 years ago. I dont get where this "PS4 has no gaem" meme comes from.

Nintendo consoles on the other hand always end up untouched for months at a time in my experience.

>tfw none of these happened to me because I take care of my stuff
Also I never let childs use my controllers.

Ugly fuckig thing, even by that gen's standards. The 90's shell design for electronic products sure could be brutalist as fuck.
