You do use extension cables on your consoles right Anon? You don't want to wear out the plugs do you?

[Anonymous No.5861530]

I have extension cables for my mini consoles but it's because the controller cords are so damn short and my couch sits so far away from my tv.

[Anonymous No.5861716]

It's too bad quality is all over the place across every system. Only reliable one I've had is for the PCE, and probably because I just got a good one and use it on the multitap. The rest are a complete crap shoot. Could be phenomenal, could be total ass. Whether chink shit or officially licensed.

During the last three years, my consoles and controllers have been unplugged once. And that was because I moved into new flat, and I am not planning to move anytime within next five years.

I'm not some OCD autist so I only ever unplug my controllers during transportation.

[Anonymous No.5863230]

>>5861948
But they get dusty if you leave them out and plugged in.

[Anonymous No.5863232]

>>5863230
No one but autists care.

[Anonymous No.5863256]

>>5861524
Are they really going to incur damage by just pulling them in and out of the port? Btw I just got a shark pad pro 64 for twenty bucks new in the box fucking score?

[Anonymous No.5863261]

>>5861524
No, i solder them directly to the board

[Anonymous No.5863262]

>>5863256
Nice anon post pics.

[Anonymous No.5863275]

>>5863262
These things have a steel Stick that never fucking breaks it's awesome and it doesn't cost a 100 dollars like on stealsticks64.com

[Anonymous No.5863403]

>>5863230
Not if you actually use them and play games you stupid clueless collectolard scumbag fat retard

[Anonymous No.5863412]

>>5863275
No. Those are bad.

[Anonymous No.5863413]

>>5863275
the thumbsticks themselves are made with cheap plastic, and the steel shaft inside will split the plastic after a while. I have a Mako Pad and had one of the black variants, friend had the black one. Happened to both of mine and his.

Here's for your pic

[Anonymous No.5863416]

>>5863413
Another controller of the same model. Fine for RPGs but not shooters or racing. And there aren't too many RPGs

[Anonymous No.5863417]

>>5863412
Is that the revision 2 model?

[Anonymous No.5863425]

>>5863416
on the N64 anyways.
Friendly reminder that the Hori Minipad, Retrobit Tribute and Retrobit Brawler are even worse.

[Anonymous No.5863426]

>>5863412
Still that's a lot closer to the original then say the hori pad mini

[Anonymous No.5863430]

>>5863413
Still I heard these things last for years a lot longer then the hori pad and especially the original

[Anonymous No.5863451]

>>5863412
What other option is better? the hori pad is more sensitive and the steel sticks that are 100 dollars aren't accurate https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g9ddxMqYFvI

[Anonymous No.5863454]

>>5863451
Original

[Anonymous No.5863464]

>>5863454
Those start to wear out and get more sensitive in months if you put a used n64 controller into that test it'll be more sensitive

[Anonymous No.5863481]

>>5863454
Literally a slightly used n64 controller will be more sensitive if any of these steel Stick models stay within that parameter and for way longer then that makes it better test one of your n64 controllers and see if it's not a little off

[Anonymous No.5863496]

>>5863454
Also you can see that in the other pic the two mako pads have different sensitivity even the new retrobit controllers sensitivity varies from one to the other you'd need to test a lot more before coming to a conclusion

[Anonymous No.5863524]

>>5863464
Wrong.
>>5863496
I did. They're bad.

[Anonymous No.5863561]

>>5863524
Correct the shark pad pro came out in 97 addressing the durability issue right on the packaging that means that in less then a year people analog sticks were all ready getting worn out. N64 controllers absolutely lose sensitivity with out breaking heres a shitty youtuber showing that https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cHbix0Qlk-w&t=131s unless your buying mint n64 controllers for 300 dollars every year your useing an n64 controller that's sensitivity is off

[Anonymous No.5863578]

>>5863524
Even original n64 controllers that have great sticks still won't have perfect sensitivity and depending on what program you use to benchmark it you'll get different results it's not an exact science

[Anonymous No.5863590]

>>5863561
It just works for me. Youtube lied to you kiddo.
>>5863578
Actually it's science.

[Anonymous No.5863606]

>>5863590
By saying it just works for you would imply your not making an objective statement which mean your point is not based on science. On another note I have a original n64 controller with a tight stick that I got off eBay and I noticed the left side in game only is more sensitive then the right side is this normal?

[Anonymous No.5865708]

>>5863412
>>5863415
>>5863425
why the fuck is it so hard to get an N64 controller right?

[Anonymous No.5865724]

>>5865708
I only ever had problems sneaking in Banjo-Tooie?

[Anonymous No.5866943]

>>5865708
Cause even Nintendo themselves got it wrong by making the whole thing out of cheap ass plastic.

[Anonymous No.5866953]

>>5865708
I really don't get it. All you need is a controller with an analogue stick and a six face button setup. Boom, easy.

[Anonymous No.5868008]

>>5861524
>You don't want to wear out the plugs do you?
I never unplug my controllers anyway, so what's the problem?

[Anonymous No.5868019]

>>5866953
The problem is that no one uses optical sensors in the analog stick like Nintendo did. That, and the correct spring tension, is what allows the stick to have virtually no deadzone, far more points of detection, and generally feel good to aim a 1:1 reticle on the screen with. Everyone else just uses potentiometers in their sticks and it sucks.
