Hey

What is a good solution to your pad on your gamecube controller ripping off, so that whenever you play you're gunna get a blister

i tried to just play through it till my thumb gets used to it but all i get are blisters the next day and my play goes down the more i play

should i get another controller, remove the pad by cutting it (make 1 big cut from the center down), then superglue it onto mine?

anybody have any advice, don't want to get a new controller this ones too good lol

open the controller using a triwing.

you can literally just pull the control stick off.

get another control stick, and replace.

screw it back together.

done.

here's a better solution: superglue your finger to the control stick. it might take some getting use to at first as far as bathing/everyday activities go, but well worth it in the long run. much better control imo.

do this
the control stick isn't fastened or anything and the box under the joystick itself is what determines the sensitivity and range so you won't change the functionality.

I usually get another controller and switch out joysticks. You could try to find joysticks for sale online (i once saw 10 for sale on ebay), even if they are third party, as long as they are the same shape and the same rubber on top it will last a while and you'll have plenty of replacements.

But yeah, get a tri wing and swap out sticks.

Also, allowing some super glue to dry in top of the joystick gives you a small protective covering that makes the rubber last a lot longer, also gives you lots of grip for stuff like moonwalking lol

whoa, looks like socal took a break from fellating mango

despite how threadworthy your question was, maybe you should check/post in technical issues thread next time.

might take some keen observation on your part to find the thread, but you're really not this important

just place money. marvel is easy because you always face towards your opponent, so that won't be a problem.
