Pros & Cons

Pros

For the durability alone, these mods are absolutely worth it. I still prefer this to the limp broken one i had before that let the white dust out. If you don't like it, you can switch back the old controller.

Installation is an absolute breeze. Took about 5 minutes to install, all you need is a small philips screwdriver. If you are handy, all this takes is patience and a little sandpaper. You want to make sure the raised notch on the pin connector is facin...  Read More

Stick responds well enough so that you can perform dash movements, tilts, etc quite easily and without input error. Only real complaint is that there is much less height on the neck of the stick.

The original n64 stick has extremely linear output, making it a joy to play fpss. It is very similar to the gamecube stick. Oem n64 (with adapter) and oem gamecube (with adapters) playability in order.



Cons

There's hardly any range of sensitivity in between minimum and maximum, which results in almost no range of precision to the stick at all--it's either nothing, or too much. Dead zone is huge and make's any subtle movements impossible.

Do not buy. Complete junk. They are obviously cheaply built and of extremely low quality. They were made verycheaply. Nope nope nope.

Overall i’m happy with the purchase but will likely try another brandseller next time i replace a 64 joystick


The reviews were excellent and i wasn’t disappointed with the replacement part

It will not sit completely flush with the blue connector port

Nintendo should have designed the controll stick like this in the first place

Competitiveness


For a third party replacement thumbstick this thing outdoes the stock control stick

    Plugging it in during repair was a pain

    Dont throw the old controller away and buy a 3rd party knock off just replace the joystick and keep the original controller

    My two issues are with the looks visually and apparent quality


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The sides of the joystick are unpolished leaving pieces of plastic hanging over


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This isn’t a problem when it comes to game play but is cosmetically noticeable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Next the item itself was fairly scratched up which while it still works fine doesn’t look the best


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is much better than a dead stick
