Smash Wii U Does anyone know a place to get decent GCN controllers?

I mean a controller actually tested by pros for Smash, seriously I am at my wits end with it, I have bought like 5-6 different gamecube controllers in 2017, and every single one had a control stick issue, be it drifting in a direction or snapback in the other direction... I just can't find one that's made right...

Is there some well known place to get one that I can rely on that I am missing?

Does anyone else get these sort of problems with their new controllers?

I've mostly tried buying from controller chaos and amazon (the new white smash controller)

(I am in the UK, so if you know somewhere closer to me that would be preferred of course, but I am willing to get one couriered to me from America too if need be)

Thanks to anyone with useful info in advance!

check ebay for listings. can usually find semi-good controllers on there or at least functional ones. sometimes you'll even see the smash controllers (which usually go for $100+ on amazon) being on sale for half that or even less like $30

If you have a very specific idea of what you want your analog stick to feel like, you have to comparison test a lot of different controllers to find the right feel. I believe Armada does the same thing with his controller, and he dropped out of dream jack because of it.
