Where to Buy Cheap, Functional GC Controllers?

[BigBubbs]

Where can I get good controllers for a reasonable price? All mine are either broken or ****e, and I bought a few off of Amazon for cheap, and they all stopped working. Any place I can get good, long lasting controllers that won't put a hole in my wallet?

Thanks for answering!

You can buy a Smash gamecube controller made by Nintendo controller for 30 bucks or you can try Game stop.

I bought one from GameStop, and it sucks bung. The left stick gets stuck way too frequently. Can I buy the Smash one online, or do they sell it at like, Walmart or something?

Do the Smash ones made by Nintendo play well? No sticking of anything?

It's just like the original GameCube controller when you bought the console years ago. It's original as it gets so don't worry if it's a knock off.

Right right! Sounds great, thanks!

Sm4sh controller's control stick feels a little stiffer than the original out of the box (which could be good or bad depending upon your preferences), and I've never seen the stick stick before. The shoulder buttons can stick if you press them in hard at an angle because of the lack of metal rods that were in the originals, but that can be fixed by a touch of silicon lube.

The shoulders in the new ones also have issues because the springs are simply made way too long. I made a few posts about this on a similar thread, I'll edit with a link. Also note it's not an enormous deal and the controller is still okay even without fixing it.

Have you been buying 3rd party ones off amazon? Bad idea, just go on ebay and search official ones and the purple ones are generally pretty cheap. Also the new "smash controller" ones are kind of well... stiff and i honestly cant play w/ them after using my well broken in one for so long, might just be me

I've been buying 3rd party ones made by GameStop... They're bad. If the new Smash ones don't have a joystick that sticks, then count me in.

Do they sell them in stores, or do I have to use Amazon?

I got my Smash one off of Amazon for $25. It's an original Gamecube controller, but the main stick feels different. Not bad, just different. I could feel the difference when compared to my already platinum one, but it could be that the platinum one is already broken in.

It doestn matter.
