Are these actually any good as stand-ins for original controllers, or are they memes?

>>4724719
They're solid. not perfect, but quite good

>>4724662
>Buying chink shit

>>4724662
It's a shame they went with the transparent meme controllers before solid colors. All I really wanted was a solid red one.

>>4724719
If all you have are controllers with sticks that are shot, they're the best cost effective option.

>>4724793
isn't it easy to replace the analog sticks though

>>4724794
Depends what you mean by replace.

>>4724794

Yeah, then thing is though there aren't really any good replacements.

>>4725323
>>4724796
>>4724794
it's stupid to replace the whole stick, just replace the plastic parts inside and grease it up with lithium to prevent future wear. you can find parts everywhere

I have practically new n64 controllors with perfect sticks and I still prefer the retro brawler. Makes going back to n64 games a lot more palatable.

>>4724662
Wait WHAT is that for N64? Where can I pick one up?

>>4725470
We had a half dozen threads for this thing up at once when it was new. How did you miss that?

>>4725567
Probably because he has an actual social life and doesn't consume himself with worrying about $30 pieces of plastic.

>>4725346

I have replaced these, it's better than nothing but there's still some sensitivity missing.

>>4725570
I forget that /vr/ exists, I'm more of a fa/tg/uy

>>4725595
it's okay, anon. some of us cha/vr/apists missed on the news, too

>>4724781
Hong Kong is not the same as the rest of China.

>not perfect, but quite good
What does that even mean?

>>4726431
I'm guessing he means the controller isn't perfect but it's good? Are you functionally retarded?

>>4726450
>no details, being an ass

>>4726463
he mean it's serviceable but its got some flaws

>>4726160
>be a shill and know exactly where it was manufactured

>>4726804
>original controllers are gaining value quite rapidly

>>4726810
>sensless greentext

>>4727168
He's referencing some retard that constantly says that on here you fucking newfag.

>>4727170
fuck off asshole

Do these come in a PC version?

>>4727383
Pretty sure you can just use a N64 to USB adapter.

>>4725593
Did you replaced it with the Kitsch-Bent ones??

You need to wide the hole of the bowl so the gears will run faster.

I remember to see a user complaining about that and how he has fixed it.

I've found this tip at here: https://amp.reddit.com/r/n64/comments/6w1wio/pt_two_review_of_kitsch_bent_replacement/

You faggots better emulate the controllers instead of using real hardware.
Only retards use real hardware.
By using Paint you even can draw your personally customized controller which fits you perfectly. All with emulation!!!

>>4728940
>Did you replaced it with the Kitsch-Bent ones??

Yes, but only the gears. The other parts are still worn out. I can't get the full range of the stick unless I hold it like the girls here.

>>4729286
This picture got to be bait since they can't press Z

>>4729297
Or they're playing mario party

>>4729297

I'm prepared to believe it's real. My sister held the stick like that too.

>>4729297
They're playing some dumb mario party minigame.

>>4729286
You need to change everything, you only fixed 1/3 of the problem. I think your problem is in the bowl too.

Don't forget to follow this: >>4728940

I'd get one if I didn't have to pay through paypal, and the transfer pak and rumble pak actually worked. Also fix that L button issue.

>>4729645
Did the transfer pak worked? Maybe they don't advise as so because it has a lot of issues. I mean the original one had issues, so they didn't want to risk?

>>4729645
>>4729662
Rumble pak works, Transfer pak doesn't. Would've been a miracle if the Transfer pak had worked anyway, even a HORI mini doesn't play well with Transfer paks.

>>4729286
>girls

>>4729297
>4729297
you control the stick with your left hand and press z with your right duh

>>4724727
They're fucking garbage.

>>4732402
t. person who hasn't even used one, let alone buy one.

>>4732875
I have one, and it stopped working, it's also sensitive in the wrong ways and it shut my n64 off.

>>4729297
>doesn't understand girls

>>4724662
I wish the stick and pad swapped places.

>>4726463
Is english your second language?

The controller is incredibly cheap feeling. It's too small in the hands. The rumble pak slot doesn't fit right so your fingers are always hitting it and can't comfortably wrap around the controller because this original shell design was not for N64, they made it for a NES pad. The sensitivity is way off and doesn't match the original and the octagonal gate isn't the same dimensions/ratio as the original N64 so certain types of movements are limited when you get locked into place due to the gate.

Overall, the analog stick and buttons feel okay, but that's it. The triggers and shoulder buttons are INCREDIBLY fucking cheap and feel horrible to use. My controller also quit working and doesn't accept an N64 extension cable anymore either, so you have no room to work with. It was good for a few hours and then started intermittently disconnecting. I can almost guarantee the kind of people that kickstarted this don't play many games or use their N64 very often.

But what takes the cake for me is that my N64 shut off while using it and wouldn't turn back on with it plugged in. No shit.

I had to unplug it and unplug the whole console and let it sit before it would turn back on. I'm not sure what the fuck happened there, but it's never happened before I plugged in that controller and hasn't happened since I quit using it.

>>4735294
A lot of people complain about the turning the console off thing. Crazy.

>>4735294
Shame, guess I'll just have to stick with the GC controller adapter.

>>4735294
Jesus pleasus, well if I was on the fence about getting one before i'm definitely not going to get one now. I still need to get some more controllers sometime, but I think i'll just try and get an original and some of those replacement sticks.

was it really impossible for Nintendo to design the controller this way instead of that other clusterfuck

>>4735294
The best option continues to be buying the kitch-bent bowl, sticks and gears

>>4736286
I haven't heard of anyone else with the issue but yeah, it seems like it wouldn't just be a single issue thing

>>4735294
You just saved me from getting one.

Where are we at with steel sticks? Are they readily available or is there still a waiting period that’s half a lifetime?

>>4736324
Is it easy to get GameCube buttons recoloured to match n64 colours?

>>4736981
Still a long as fuck wait and still $125

>>4736984
Why would they need to be recolored? It's not like you look at your controller most of the time.

>>4737409
just to match the button prompts and UI's. I'd prefer the blue/green colour combo rather than green/red

Hi, despite some negative reviews I bought [N64 CONTROLLER] and it was all I was looking for, I've never had such a good experience with other [N64 CONTROLLERS]. I think everyone should buy this product.
