New N64 Replacement Thumbstick - Nintendo Joystick

These joysticks are a must have. I replace all my controllers with them and never had to replace one again. They are 100 percent tight no slop and more sensitive compared to original and I like them better. Easy to replace too.

tested and working

Everyone says it, and it’s true: theyre quite oversensitive. Feels good once you’ve gotten used to it, but only for adventure games, platformers, and mini game board games like Mario Party. Anything that involves aiming and shooting is nearly impossible though. Would have still given 4 stars because they’re still worth it IMO... except I bought 3 of these and ALL of them drift until the controller is unplugged, and plugged back in. That’s pretty inconvenient. It’s better than nothing though!

Looks a bit different than the OG analog stick but feels great and surprisingly easy to replace.

Installed easily and so far so good. No complaints here. Better deal than on eBay, and the cheap shipping option was pretty quick, even to Canada.

It's was easy to do and the movement stick is very good. I've tested out on Mario64 so far. Slow movement goes also good. But the stick is still a little bit stiff. But i guess that after a while it will be better :)

The heck with staying authentic these things are great! It makes the N64 controller actually comfortable to use, well for your thumb anyway. Mario Kart has never been so easy, I feel like I'm cheating giving a "normal" controller to my fiance.

The sticks work great in general and seem to be of good build quality, movement is smooth and responsive, one minor thing that can be an inconvenience is that the deadzone is almost non-existent meaning you have to move the stick just very slightly to get slow movement in some games (like sneaking in Mario 64). Another thing to keep in mind is to keep the controller leveled when turning on the console or it may not be centered properly. Besides these relatively minor things they work really well, and in my opinion at least they are miles ahead of the original stiff sticks.

If you have a broken Or very loose joystick, this is what you need. Super simple to install even if you are not techy.

I have as of now bought two of these and they really do the trick. The original stick was stiff and broke easy, but this replacement is like a GameCube thumbstick and works great, easy to install if you have every worked with small electronics!

thumbsticks work great especially on games like forsaken 64, mario kart, toy story 2. found it a bit tricky to use on games like army men and golden eye but the more you play the more u get the feel for them in all great replacement thumb stick!

These joysticks work great. They feel amazing compared to the stock old worn out joysticks I had. The sensitivity issue other people have mentioned does exist however. But let me explain it. With the original joystick, when you push it in any direction, and when the joystick gets to about 95% of full tilt, the game reads 100% in that direction. With the new joystick, the game reads 100% in that direction with only about 60%-70% of joystick tilt. It's not a problem in third person games. But for shooters it takes some getting used to. It will not make you turn around faster, but you will start turning sharper, sooner. That being said, games like goldeneye with auto aim are quite manageable, but it requires getting used to. Games without auto aim are more difficult to manage, but not impossible (e.g. south park). And other games like turok, let you adjust the sensitivity so you can soften this effect to make it feel normal. Other than that, the joysticks perform like a dream come true!

I think these joysticks are perfect. I tested them out with Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart 64. The joystick felt great. Of course, the feel isn't EXACTLY like a brand new N64 controller joystick, but it's probably 95% there, which is amazing. And perhaps more importantly, it feels much much better than my old loose joystick. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

Got this over a month ago and I have to say I love the feel of this joystick. I've tried it with different types of games to see how it works and I've found out that its super sensitive. However, it works well with fighting games like Killer Instinct Gold, most racing games, wrestling games, and any first person shooter where you can adjust the stick sensitivity. Not sure what its like for Mario 64 or any other Mario game (don't own any) but overall I think its a great replacement.

While I was confused when I received them (I was expecting original thumbsticks), the thumbsticks work as advertised. They are reminiscent of Gamecube thumbsticks, which is not a bad thing. The one complaint I have is of the image, as at a glance it looks like an original thumbstick (which it isn't).
