Experience with This Aftermarket N64 Controller?

Post by Beak »

I want a new N64 controller. As we all know, many of the ones extant have their joystick wearing down. The local game store has used ones for $35 (little pricey).

Any experience with these http://www.ebay.com/itm/141283741075? I've looked at their reviews and no one's complaining about them.

Just stick with the original controllers man. Most of the 3rd party stuff is garbage. You can replace the joystick so easily in your OEM controllers, its just a small plastic connector that has to be disconnected and reconnected.

Here is a link to the replacement sticks :

I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

I usually prefer 1st party controllers too. However there is the Interact Super 64 with a steel shaft analog stick. Has decent button placement too.

I haven't tried that particular controller, but I did buy a third party from Hong Kong once that was utter garbage. The stick felt weird while using it, and then one day it just stopped working all together.
