What does /vr/ think about this controller? Looks good to me but I've never tried one.

Would you rather just refurbish your regular 64 controller? Or use a GC controller with 64 adapter?

Looks good but they're outrageously expensive. Way cheaper to just refurb a 64 controller.

Looks terrible for Mischief Makers, The New Tetris, Tetrisphere, and Dr. Mario

Depending on where Z is, looks overall better than the original

can you refurbish the regular 64 controller in a way that makes it more robust than the original design?

I worked at a used game store a few years back. One of those came through and I tested it. Loved it.

Would never pay eBay prices for one though.

Ugly. Looks like it was made with the cheapest piece of plastice available

Maybe? Depends on your skill and technical knowledge.

Can you just take a Gamecube controller and spray the AB buttons to match the 64 colour scheme?
I guess that still leaves the fact that the GC controller doesn't have a good trigger for shooters

I recently acquired one and love it. Granted, I've only had time to test it on Super Mario 64, but I think it's well worth the money.

are the handles the same size as the regular 64 controller? They look to be, I suspect it's an illusion that it looks smaller because it lacks the giant middle handle

>> No.3506983

I got a nice used one from a store in Japan recently. I find it much, much more pleasant to use than a standard N64 controller, though if you have big hands you might not like it as much. The stick feels like a GameCube controller but slightly lighter.

You're probably better off just getting a GameCube controller adapter if you're stuck paying eBay prices, but if you can manage to snag one for a reasonable price it's definitely worth it.

>>3506925
They're a bit smaller.

I always wondered about these pads myself. Tried replacing the anolog on the original n64 controller but it just didn't have the resistance. Felt too loose if that makes sense?
I waited until one of these pads come up on ebay pretty cheap and got it. It's absolutely perfect as long as you don't need the d-pad. Feels even better than the original n64 pad.
I only use these pads now

GC controller had the BEST triggers ever in my opinion.

I love the slide, the click in at the end, the springyness, the size.

i can't imagine rapid shooting my pistol in goldeneye using those squishy things

How does it look like that?

How do you exactly press A-B and arrow buttons? This is shit! this is shit!

With your thumbs?

You can rapid shoot just as fast in night fire, my man.

The slide also acts as an input, and since it naturally pops back into neutral position you can snap it super fast.

Is there a way to stop them squeaking and pinging though?

Mine are horrible in that respect.

Lubricant. The same stuff Rubik's Cube speedsolvers use.
