Hey guys, i guess everyone who has ever played with a n64 controller had issues with the joystick being too loose. I'm wondering how you guys fixed it since a decent joystick is pretty important for speedrunning. Also there are replacement joysticks for n64 controllers, has anyone ever used such a 3rd party joystick and knows if it really affects gameplay and especially the difficulty of holding ESS position?
Thanks guys Smiley

I haven't used third party control sticks myself, but I recommend by a replacement sticks from ebay. Then you can very easily replace the old one with the new one. This is at least what I'm doing. Then when you have replaced it, I really recommend to put some not really sticky oil in it. Just a little bit to make sure it doesn't get to reading sensors. If this happens and it isn't working anymore. Then you need to disamble it and clean it thoroughly. At least this is what happened to me few times Smiley
