That's awesome!
Those things break so easily, good to know there's hope.

Awesome. I'll have to check it out. I wasn't 100% satisfied with "Gamecube-like" replacement stick.

Still looks like they have the same design, and probably the same design flaw...

If you buy these, I suggest you lube them up with some silicone grease for longevity...

No offense, but for $9 what's the point? I can buy very nice N64 controllers all day for $10.

^Yeah a very expensive replacement part

Certain colors and whatnot are more expensive, and it's cheaper to buy this part than replace them.

The Toys R Us gold ones come to mind.

Truth. Still, I'd rather keep fancy 64 controllers OEM. I can't be the only one here with N64 "playing controllers", and boxed shelf controllers.

Think this will be any better than the OEM's? I love the GC style ones, they make playing the likes of Banjo Kazooie an even better playing-experience.

If those controllers have thumb-sticks that are loose to the point of severely hindering playability, then you don't really have much to lose by swapping the part. May not be OEM anymore, but at least it'd be usable.
