Repairing a Super Famicom controller...

Post by Flak Beard »

I want to buy one of these kits for my SFC controller:

http://www.estarland.com/product29809.html

It should work right? I'm assuming there are no differences between a SFC and SNES controller on the inside.

You can plug SNES controllers into Super Famicom and vice versa. I believe the only differences are cosmetic (purple buttons, inverted buttons and etc.) so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Dammit, I went to order this today and both sites that I know have them (eStarland & Nintendo Repair Hut) are sold out!

Anyone know where else I could one of these kits?

Why not just get another controller? They start at a buck and go for as much as $10... Official ones.

I just read somewhere that I can use the parts from inside my Retro Duo controllers. I'm going to try this out over the weekend.
