were you disappointed when mom and dad bought you a n64 instead of a ps1?

What exactly feels different compared to a new stick?

>>6764893
Truth is, my family was a Sega family until the PlayStation came out, and I never had a Nintendo console until I got a Wii in 2009. Bought an n64 from a friend a month ago and here I am.

>>6764896
Well, for one. The main joystick is completely clear instead of grey, so that’s just a visual thing. It doesn’t have the same “snap-back into position” thing that most n64 controllers have, but it still snaps back, just not in the same way.

>>6764913
Did you lube it up?

>>6764884
Have you ran any and tests on range and deadzones? Often there's a lot of variance in the shape of the analog range and accuracy between even OEM controllers.

>>6764924
Yes, pic related.

>>6764936
Not yet, I don’t have a cartridge or flashcart I could use to do the test.

Any sticks that have the same basic feel as the default, but more hard-wearing parts?

>>6764957
Steel Sticks. That’s about it. I’ve never had one before, as they’re difficult as fuck to get, but it seems to be the one you’d want.

Hard to trust this chart when they give a new N64 stick 10/10 for feel. Even new those sticks feel pretty awful. And they give the Hori about a 5-6/10 for feel when that stick feels as good and smooth as the best modern stick

>>6764936
How would you go about testing that?

Am I reading this wrong or is it saying the lodgenet controller is the best bet?

Whens the last time you felt a new OEM stick?
Cause I had one and it felt flawless for many hours of play. My tests are goron roll in majoras mask and making mario turn around gently in mario 64

>>6766808
Just to make sure, did you lubricate your oem stick? It’ll increase the lifespan exponentially

>>6766759
It's saying the Lodgenet controller vastly overshoots the range of the original stick and thus is shit. The best one is the steel replacement which barely overshoots and is most accurate to the original.

This controller is so awkward. I tried finding the most comfortable way to use this controller, it can't be done. I need a third hand.

>>6765017
You are an idiot. The whole problem with all these sticks is trying to get them to match the original.

>>6767134
Shut the fuck up, babyhands.

>>6767084
That doesn’t tell me anything.

>>6767272
It has a rom which lets you test sticks.
>This app lets you test your N64 controller. You can check all the buttons and also the analog stick.

>For the analog stick is has a build in benchmark which you can use to compare the quality of different thumbstick replacements.

>It even comes with some presets of the most common replacements and also from a brand new original thumbstick.

>doesn’t tell me how to attach my controller to said program
I’m not buying an everdrive to see arbitrary information

>>6767475
Ok

Those kits work great IMO
I have rebuilt a couple heavily worn controllers

I have a barely used N64 controller and the stick feels waaay too stiff. It's really hard to make subtle movements, I was jerking everywhere in Automobili Lanborghini.
I think you're supposed to break in those sticks. I have another, heavily-used controller and the stick is much more precise.

>>6764987
I tried searching for this chart but couldn't find it. Where is it from? Who did the testing? What program is doing the testing?

>>6767084
Interesting that it only got flooded with spam bots starting 16 days ago.

>>6764987
I am really surprised Lodgenet is maxed on durability, even more than steel.

>>6767907
Did you lube it?

>>6764884
The snap-back is caused by the spring inside more than the replacement parts. Make sure that the spring is centered ontop of each part properly and it will help with the feeling. The only issue I have is that the initial plugging in of the controller has enough wiggle to cause minor minor issues in certain titles if I'm not careful about centering it, but not bad enough that the controller will have issues with snapback.

>>6767861
Not the boogeyman!

>>6768086
The barely used one? No, never even opened it.

>>6767084
>Both links dead

>>6768382
Dude, hurry up and do that. It’ll wear away before you know it and you’ll have destroyed a perfectly good controller

>>6764987
Hey, that original style clone with Opt. seems to be the best one.

Is it really that good? I didn't find any review.

>>6765017
keep buying chink shit with deadzones dumbass

>>6768796
Nah, it'll ruin the feel.

>>6772879
Dumbass. Have fun with your shitty controller, while I’m here with my flawless out-of-box oem one I’ve lubricated properly.
