Hello, just picked up 3 n64 controllers at a yard sale and the sticks are ultra limp. They register on games but it feels like shit.
I want to replace them but I my previous repair box oem didn't feel right as far as character movement goes. It always felt like mario was locked into going forward if I tilted up and would take more movement for him to move left and right, it just didn't feel right.
I've also heard similar stories about the gamecube style ones have crappy movement and a weird deadzone.
Basically what I'm wondering is, can I get away with just replacing pic related? What I was thinking was that I could clean and grease out the bowl and replacement these two axis'. I really like the stick and mechanism nintendo provides.
Thanks lads
Scramp them for buttons for non limp controllers.
