Theyre not as good as the original sticks though. Bigger deadzone and a different gate. Cool, but not a very accurate replacement. Steel Sticks is a better, if more exclusive, option.
Huh, haven’t had any issues with deadzone. If anything, the deadzone is too small, especially on Goldeneye, where the sensitivity felt way too high for the software. But I found it a super smooth upgrade for pretty much everything else, especially Kart and platformers. I just looked up those steel sticks though, and they look awesome! I bet that has a nice, authentic feel to it.
…no, cartridges hadn’t yet been invented for my first console and my first NES was actually the mid-nineties redesign, so i never experienced blowing dust off the contacts…
…i did get to play with ROM-swap developer cartridges on my atari 2600, though…
This image is a fantasy.
No one had four grey controllers.
Show me some red, green and “translucent” purple.
Also one of the control sticks should be broken.
On a related note, they can now refurbish your N64 conrollers with mini GameCube joysticks and they’re fucking SICK.

That’s pretty spot on for my experience. I only had 3: 1 gray, 1 red, and 1 translucent purple off brand.
(edit: the red one was the one with a drifty joystick, but for some reason it was my favorite)
We were grey, yellow, and offbrand black that had a semi-functional turbo mode and the joystick would reverse if you pushed too hard on it.
A 4th was always supplied by the rare potential 4th player
That’s not four grey controllers.
That’s one grey controller and three grey d-pads.
edit: That word shouldn’t have been plural.
That actually explains how Goro kept kicking my ass.
I’ve had twelve controllers and my original translucent purple one from when I bought it new is still the best one.
(i still have my original four grey controllers with rumble packs for the lot)
And you probably never had to blow into the cartridge to make it work.
Alternatively…
THE CHOSEN ONE!
