I want to construct a N64 arcade stick. Building an N64 arcade stick is actually quite straight forward except the problem of a analog joystick. All the analog joysticks I've found so far are either not compatible with an n64 controller board because they only output USB, are very costly(163$ or only 155$ if I buy 10!) or are only available in bulk(I found ones for 10$ a piece with a minimum order of 100 sticks). I thought about just using a digital 8 way arcade joystick that has a button to change a stick push from full smash to just a tilt(I know there is a guy that plays melee on a fight stick like this) but in smash 64 it seems to me that would render pikachu, ness, fox's and the mario bros recoveries and yoshi's egg throws significantly worse, although I know some people are dedicated keyboard players and I'd love to get any of you keyboarders inputs on the matter(I made a joke did you get it?) of playing without an analog joystick.
Here is the USB outputting analog capable joystick, the only way I can think of making it work at this point is by(I think it can do this) having it output either ps3 or xbox 360 and then use an adapter(edit: I just found out that if you set the ultrastick to output ps3 or 360 it only outputs digital so the adapter idea is no more. If someone has any ideas to get this communicating with the n64 I'm all ears. And the thing is by almost any measures this is an absolutely incredible looking stick given how customizable it is. https://na.suzohapp.com/products/joysticks/50-2876-00 this is the 163$ one. And here is a link to 4 models of the 10$ 100 joystick minimum order joysticks I found on alibaba from the same supplier called Blee http://www.blee.com.cn/product/6011..._Supplier_Arcade_Machine_Analog_Joystick.html

If any of you guys want to get in on splitting an order of 100 analog arcade joysticks just say so, maybe if enough people are interested we can all get in on an order?
The final option for making a Smash 64 fight pad is creating a "frankenpad" using the analog joystick half of a controller and maybe the z button attatched to a fight stick box housing with the rest of the buttons on it
Thoughts?
