Controller Repairing / Manteinance

[NixxxoN]

Yo see, N64 controllers tend to get f**ed up the more you play it, probably it happened to all of you.
We have 5 controllers and only two of them are decent. The others are so screwed.
Does anyone know how to repair a joystick and some tricks to make the joystick last more ?

the only thing most of us can do right now is buy new sticks everytime we need one (most likely after like 3 months >.>) sadly . i hope that someone finds a way to make them last longer though. 3rd party controllers have pretty sturdy sticks though but they also tend to have alot of problems.

My sticks are flimsy since I first played 10 years ago... They still work fine...

I don't know how to fix loose sticks

You might have to do some controller searchin...

Where can I buy new sticks?
Is there any website or something explaining how to replace them?

they sell new analog sticks so you can unscrew your current and install a new one, was planning on doing it myself for the 2 originals I have that work well

Wow. I'm impressed I can remember where I saw sticks being advertised. They were advertised on the official project64 site.

I just now looked at the site and it seems they sell adaptoids for preorder and all kinds of other things like cords, emulation stuff, etc. etc. Anyway, here's a link to the sticks: http://www.ztnetstore.com/product_i...d/211?osCsid=aa5b680b6af3cf25180c63e0962a8d76

Also, I've had my N64 controller since about Christmas and the joystick is still extremely good (It wiggles only if you actually focus). I feel lucky :D
