I think ever since I picked up smash, I have played less and less games. I used to love pokemon, but now I can't stand playing it for more than a battle. Even that's too much. I guess that's part of getting older too.


@Brian: I'm not entirely sure if the trigger buttons can be fixed if they're messed up the way you and Fly described it. I mean you could take it apart and see if it has to do with the spring or the rubber...

@no one in specific: I remember reading somewhere that some guy took apart his controller because his analog stick was loose and and stupid. IIRC, he used a mixture of vaseline and crazy glue to both stiffen it and lubricate it -- something like that.

@Joe: I **may** try that because I think I have a soldering gun, as well as a controller with a messed up stick. I guess it's a project.

 

[Adam M!]

the controller i bought used from amazon just arrived

just as described!

i am so excited because it's exactly what you want in a controller -- broken in with a fairly loose analog, yet still looks to be in good condition for the long-term

now i'm gonna practice sheik, falco and fox tech skill all day long!

I love my controller

the bottom right part of the c-stick is worn down from up airs and the analog doesn't have any grips any more

 

[WHA?]

i've been using pocky's spare controller
it would sometimes light shield after i wavedashed
i figured it was mostly my fault

yesterday it started shielding automatically

is there a known cause for this?

also, i might be in the market for a controller if this one is ****ed up
we'll see though, im hoping this can be fixed

ok exact same thing happened to my l-trigger
mine did not do that "click" noise that it does when it reaches the bottom

after opening it up n seeing, n comparing the r-trigger to l-trigger, i just decided to compare the little rubber (like the one between the buttons and motherboard)
it was ripped from the middle, making the lightshield stay on

what i did was exchange the r-trigger rubber with the l-trigger rubber (since i dont use R)

but if you do use it, u might want to get the rubber off some other controller

 

[JDM]

The rubber part of my main controller is loose/comming off. I then try to wear in my "new" controller for about an hour but the L button sucks and I always get sloppy waveshines/wavedashes.

I really need a tri wing.

you didnt get your tri wing yet? i thought you ordered one already?

i have one right next to me i can let you borrow next time we see each other

 

[Incronaut]

Hey i just got a silver controller and i was wondering exactly the differences were between that and the other ones... it feels slightly thicker and more sturdy, but doesnt have the controlling feel i like / am used to... is it something that is usable just needs time? or is it like one of those ****ty controllers i should just not use?

 

[pockyD]

there's something different about the way the silver controller's shoulder button slots are designed such that the buttons often 'catch' there

 

[Incronaut]

does it make it more unplayable? O_o" should i try and switch it out?

 

[joeplicate]

nope

you can just open it up, take out the triggers, then use the screwdriver to scrape away a little of the plastic on the back part



it took me playing with another controller yesterday to realize how much i like mine now




on a related note:
if i bought like 20 triwing screwdrivers and brought them to a tourney, who would buy one for $5

 

[L__]

I would.

learn forum tech skill, alvin

 

[joeplicate]

i'm thinking about just going to a fry's one day and buying all of them, since i know they'd get sold lol

 

[L__]

okay .

 

[SuperRad]

much better

 

[-Rei-]

how much are they at fry's?

 

[Lovage]

they have them at frys!?!?!!?

i read that you can't buy triwing screwdrivers in stores except some combo pack at home depot

 

[pockyD]

wtf 5 dollars

 

[DJMirror]

I think radioshack have them but you gotta buy a combo pack

 

[-Rei-]

better than the $3.99 + 2.40 shipping from play-asia

 

[TravisT]

Does anyone know where to get analog sticks? I wreck mine like crazy; the plastic tears off of the edges of the control stick, and then the entire plastic covering falls off. Are you selling them, Rei?

 

[djmirrorr]

Will this help? I think me and Jkun saw this at Sears
