Next to our N64, there is a graveyard of about 20 controllers that we have discarded because the joystick is too loose or because buttons are stuck. Our current controllers are quickly approaching that point too.

Instead of spending $100 to buy 4 replacements from Nintendo, I was thinking about buying a third-party replacement joystick part and trying to fix them myself. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with anything like this:

Alternatively, if anyone knows a cheaper place to get replacement controllers or has recommendations for third-party N64 controllers that are good for Smash, please post as well. TYIA.
