Hey, so I've been grabbing some more controllers for my N64 for multiplayer, and I noticed something you guys might be interested in.
This is a TTX Tech controller, and there are two separate kinds of them that come in the same packaging.
The first kind is decent.
It locks in memory/rumble paks, and he joystick works well, if a little on the sensitive side.
The second one is terrible.
The joystick look like an imitation of a real N64 controller, but it's super clunky and goes zero to full throttle, almost like it uses microswitches.
The latch on it also fails to lock the memory pak into the controller.

This is the bad one
Interesting. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Welcome!
I had bought some earlier despite mediocre online reviews, but after playing with them, I was wondering why the reviews were so bad.
Now that I got a bad one, I know why!
Are there any ways to adjust the sensitivity on these 3rd party controllers?

Good to know. I saw these at a local store for $10. I'll be sure to check which kind they are. Have you tried any of the after-market replacement sticks on them?
Related, does anyone have any recommendations on aftermarket stick replacements for the original controllers? I've heard mixed things about the GameCube style ones, specifically that some are good and some are bad and it's semi-unrelated. I've also looked at videos on repairing the old sticks using a pen casing. Are those dumb steel sticks as good as they'd damn well better be for more than $100?

As far as I know, there's two revisions of the gamecube style replacements.
The first one was too sensitive and had other problems, but in the second revision they fixed all that.
Problem is, both revisions are under the same listing on amazon.
