    Joysticks... I've tried them all. I'm presenting a better solution.

    @nalzxr, Sorry about the youtube account, I deleted my google plus account and that went down with it. I don't have them backed up. @zinnamon, It's a better solution than the other solutions I have found to the problem of bad n64 joysticks. I've realized that making these controllers perfect...

    Ok, I'm back now--we got snowed out of my hometown. I'm getting to work.

    Controllers are in, I'll get right to work when I get back from the holidays on the 26th.

    Somehow I missed this post. What do you mean about buying them on ebay? Do you mean the individual joysticks? If anyone knows anything about how to buy bare joysticks (perhaps someone in the electronics mfg industry), I'd really like to know! I'd like the exact same ones from the OEM wii...

    I bought 3 Wii controllers on credit, which will give me 6 joysticks. I bought from the U.S. this time, so the estimated delivery is between Dec. 17 and Dec. 21. Thanks though!

    actually, mostly just grey, black, green, and blue. I have a handful of clear purple ones and maybe one red one.

    Update: I'm filing a dispute with BillMeLater for the controllers I purchased, obviously this eBay seller is trying to scam me. I talked to a rep today on the phone. The seller stopped replying to my messages. I guess he didn't realize that BillMeLater has a later filing deadline for disputes...

    Thanks! Yes- to both questions. I'm in a bind right now though, because before I can do either I need to get some joysticks to work on. They should be here in a couple weeks, I imagine. I also got some PIC chips to toy around with, if all else fails. But I don't think it will come down to that.

    Good news: "We will reship to you immediately and hope you will get the new package soon . And hope our instant communication and way of handling the problem will not influence your good immpression of our shop as something happened in transit is out of our control. If the package still...

    For those of you wondering, apparently my shipment of controllers was lost in transit... I've been in touch with the seller.

    Sweet. Rain check? I'm set on N64 controllers for the time being... They're literally everywhere in my apartment. There are even some in my bed.

    Hi kys, I'm curious what you mean by "modded." Sounds like a great find! If you mean that it has a GC/Wii joystick in it, it probably has an AVR or a PIC chip or something in the circuit. I'm definitely interested! Actually, the other day I ordered 5 PIC boards and a compatible PIC programmer...

    Mike, it's been a fun project. Thank you guys for helping me make them better. I hope they turn out. I may have the solution to aligning these correctly. The original white housing with the arms that hold the gears happens to have a small, round whole underneath it in the very center, but it...
