My NiGHTS controller casing is waiting for a trip through the washing machine. Ive gotten it mostly off, but come on how many chance do you have to send a controller through the washing machine?

Thats the purple one at the end. By NiGHTS controller I mean a controller used mostly for NiGHTS. Instead of an octagonal gate it his a circular one.

Dishwasher, washing machine, they are all the same in my book. Maybe I should lay off the Red Green show...

And to answer your other questions that I accidentally did not:
Upper analog is the exact same size, mine was just installed wrong for some reason.

I will not say they are as good as the official ones, but they are the best third party ones you are going to find. And if you are unlucky like myself and no stores have controllers at all, they are a fantastic substitute especially for the price. Twenty five for two shipped to the house with extension cables. Granted they could have been cheaper if I did not "buy it now" and actually participated in the auction.

Cool mod, great pictures. Thanks for sharing. You've convinced me that I have got to try this sometime in the future. You might try using the analog stick in place of the c-stick from your broken controller and see how you like it.

Also, could you post some pics of your broken controller?

Fastbilly: have you had a chance to get those pictures taken?

Sorry Elph I completely forgot. But now in my packing/unpacking, I cannot find that broken controller. If I find it I will post the images for you.

Looks like Nintendo is re-releasing the GC controller in white, although only in Japan so far.

Good that they are making more at all. Ebay is completely flooded with those damn third party cloned ones with the lower quality analog sticks. Oh and one of mine lost it's vertical axis entirely for no reason, as I mentioned in another thread.
