I've seen gc controllers where the rubber comes off
Right, I've seen that too. If you look at the hori's stick you can see some sort of covering though. Because it's obviously not rubber the whole way down.
Yes. I use ceramic grease for the job.
it tried it myself. it is not as good as it looks
it doesnt show how well it snaps back in the video. And i assume the insta steel epoxy stuff is probably pretty abrasive on the plastic of the stick
That video only addresses fixing the worn out bowl, and the bowl is not the cause of loose joysticks so it shouldn't be expected to really fix them.
well i think it's not only the bowl itself, but i'm pretty sure it's one of the reasons the sticks is going to wear out
That's exactly what I thought when I saw the video. Aren't the black x-y thingy responsible for the loose joystick?
the black elbows are what control the movement. if there's a wide gap inside of them, the joystick literally has more room to wiggle around before pushing them and inputting directions. Fixing the bowl only tightens the spring to give the stick a more "solid" feel but doesn't actually improve the sensitivity of the stick.
What issues did you have with it, exactly?
I think you're right. But the axis pieces are important aswell.
I think this guy in the video had a great idea. So I tried it multiple times and in the end my stick could barely move everytime. Even with silicon spray, which i use for my sticks. I think the problem here is the material. Plastic instead of this epoxy steel could be fix this problem because it's not as raw as steel.
