If you're a reseller that fixes up controllers please KEEP the old parts & sell them with the controller. It's nice having new tight parts in controllers but some of us do like all original so to have the option of original parts is a huge benefit & it would also help your sale.
Drewsefer89 i actually prefer the old loose original n64 sticks to some of the cheap replacement options. Even though they are firm, some that I have replaced just don’t feel right
I did this last year to my Atomic Purple N64 controller. It's super easy and quick to do. I used the stick replacement that is more like the GameCube controller's thumbstick and it works almost perfectly, with occasional drift. I definitely recommend this upgrade for old controllers.
Thanks for the heads up on this! I didn't realize this was an optical sensor stick, which immediately makes it superior to most cheap replacements out there. Ordered one, looking forward to fixing my black N64 stick I got from Goodwill ages ago (I actually went through the steps of repairing my original stick -a bit of a nightmare!)
The optical sensor stick actually have a bit of flaw apparently. If you check out the my life in gaming channel, they did extensive tests and found the optical sensor sticks don't account for directions in between the 8 directions. So I'd say it comes down to preference, but myself I'd like to use a mechanical replacement to be accurate to how an original stick would work.
@@SacredNFG That's interesting - perhaps all the more so because the original stick is optical. Come to think of it, the sensors in the trak ball controller for the Atari 2600 are optical too - that technology's been around for a while! It'll be interesting to see once I do the replacement what the range of motion turns out to be.
@@Akito01 I changed out my original stick a few months ago, and when I was looking over the inside of it, it was using a pair of gears for reading inputs. So I'm very confident in saying that original sticks are mechanical. I'm sure GameCube and other sticks going forward were probably using optical. But the first control stick from Nintendo on the N64 was using mechanical parts, that ultimately wear out over time, causing the looseness in John's control stick here in this video. Just one of those invevitible design flaws I guess...
@@robertcooperstein9286 Having looked into this more thoroughly (more than having just observed the parts in front of me), yes the signal is digital. But the main part of what I was saying before, that the N64 stick has design that leads to mechanical wear, such as in the video, is still fairly close. Most analog stick use potentiometers to read how far in any direction the stick is being pushed(there are still moving parts in these, but the way they move to provide the proper signal is completely different), reading it as different electrical resistances along the way. N64 has a pair of gears to determine how far the stick is moved in any direction, and a pair of IR sensors read those changes in direction. It was often compared to ball mice, and the track ball they used in them. At the end of the day, it's these gears that cause long term issues for users because of how common it is for them to wear out. There are replacements, like John uses here. But there are variations of them. Some recreate the way OEM sticks work and others use potentiometers. My initial reply in this thread was to get across the inaccuracies of the potentiometer replacements(only reading 8 directions), which have been documented. It's possible someone might be able to make an accurate potentiometer replacement, but what's available is not. If anyone reading is wanting to replace their N64 analog sticks, look into what type you're getting is all. If your stick is still ok, "tight" as it's often referred to, you can lubricate it keep it from wearing down. Lithium grease seems to be effective, but some people warn it may not be best for long term maintenance. Thank you, Robert. I learned more about one of my favorite systems today.
You are so right, John. You have to let people know if parts have been replaced with third party parts. I know a lot of people that cannibalize controllers just to keep them OEM. Great video!
this looks like a pretty easy fix after having spend the past year modding gameboys, definitly going to fix my old childhood controllers and invite my friends over for a few rounds of mario party when done.
Replacing the stick is easy. Finding a decent replacement is next to impossible. Repairing using 3d printed parts works, but leaves it dealing rough and stiff. The replacement I bought on eBay feels extremely stiff and it is less accurate than an original N64 stick in good shape. The GameCube style stick doesn't feel the same and also doesn't work as well. Other TH-camrs have used software that shows stick position and so far the only solution is to use the retrofighters brawler 64 or find an original N64 controller that isn't worn out and take the stick apart and add lube.
I got a steel bowl from steel sticks 64, going to attempt it on a controller I don’t care about first bc I hear they don’t always go back together too well.
@@PlayboyLude44 I've been drooling over the steelsticks for a while now, but the price is just too high last I checked. When the repair is roughly 4x the cost of a used controller with a good stick, it's hard to justify. I will say that it looks promising, and if the economies of scale in Mass production can bring the price down to a level closer to the eBay replacement parts he will sell a lot of them.
Fairly new to your channel. From England here. Enjoying your content John! I love this kind of channel; just relaxed and enjoyable. And best of all - no jump cuts! Keep it up 🙂
The original part can be fixed with a new set of plastic gears. Besides replacements use electric resistance an carbon layer to measure X and Y whilst the original uses optical sensors to do the measurements, conclusion: no replacement is better than the original parts with a new set of gears. If you want the new set of gears you can purchase it at Bent Kitsch, that's where I run to when fixing N64 analogs.
I used to repair these with a small piece of rubber band. Disassemble the original stick and replace the worn out part with a little bit of rubber band. It worked great!
a good test would be mario 64, with making mario walk real slow. usually the deadzones are quite large on these after market analog sticks. Also I believe some attacks in smash bros. are hard to do. but for like everything else they probably are fine and most people wont notice.
@John Hancock I appreciate the video and recommendation. I’ve been planning to replace the stick in one of my controllers, but haven,t wanted a random eBay replacement. Also, I had’t seen that version of Robotron before and now I MUST GET IT!!!
I wish I would have had this option back around the year 2000 when I got really frustrated on a game and slammed my controller to the floor and broke my analog stick in the process! I’d rather have paid $14 instead of whatever a new one was at the time...$40-ish maybe... As always, great video!
I've replaced a couple of analogue sticks, I have a normal replacement for shooters and a gamecube style stick for racers which is a massive improvement
So a few things. I think you could swap the plastics to color match the original stick if that bothers you. I wish you had shown the inside of the original stick and the replacement one. How is the dead zone? How is the detection of the degrees of movement ? Is the new stick the same height as the original? Will these sticks wear down as well or are the made of better materials?
There are new aftermarket 'optical' n64 replacement joystick's that are out now, they usually run about $12-13 on ebay... It would be cool if you could make a video review on them - I'm curious to how well they actually work... I mean, if they are good, it only took a couple decades for 3rd party companies to get it right... lol...
How about only using the stick and bowl and inserting the original chip n stuff? Wonder if that would work but mines are still in perfect shape so cant try yet.
I don't see it in the near future.. if you recall, the NES and SNES classic rely on emulation to work; actually the N64 emulation is barely acceptable, there are a lot of games with a lot of issues or that are unplayable even on a good PC. So I guess that we'll have to get alternatives to bring our old N64's to the 21st century (like this joystick replacement)
Do I remember hearing you say your favorite game is Robotron 2084 on Atari? I didn't know the game came to 64! That's pretty neat! Thanks for the vid, man.
Thx 4 the video, John! I don't feel comfortable opening my N64 controller. I have bad luck with electronics. You should see me try to make coffee with an electric pot!
I was lucky to find a set of 4 nearly new purple joypads with good sticks at a local GoodWill years ago, and I NEVER use them, and keep them as collectors pieces, and up till recently I only used my Superpad 64 controllers as they are very durable, but now It's Retro fighters all the way.
I read lot of people loving the GameCube style sticks and I honestly don't get it... Playing super smash, super Mario 64 or Mario kart really shows how bad they are really. One game of smash (high level play) is the best way to see if a stick is any good... I have high hopes for the steel sticks.
The only issue I'm running into is getting the screws out to begin with. I'm using a #0 size for the controller itself and a size #00 for the one in the memory card port and they're just not biting into the screwheads and I feel like if I force it I'm only going to succeed in stripping the screws. What kind of screwdrivers are you using and do you or anyone else have any suggestions?
Good idea about selling without original stick, I ordered a beautiful grape purple controller... Unfortunately it came with a terrible 3rd party stick...wish the seller had sent it with the old one :(
@@johnhancockretro I was really busy during the era, only owned 2 games in Zelda: OoT and Banjo, but I feel the experience I had with the machine lasted longer than what I got with my next machine the Dreamcast. I had a bad accident during that machine and lost my stamina. Accident felt like being a ghost that was chomped by Pac-Man in the animated show.
Thanks John, I normally use kitsch bent and re build the inside myself however I think I will give this a shot this time. I would enjoy more DIY videos from you.
I never had an N64, but I most certainly know first hand of the white plastic powder in an N64 analog after being used extensively. It's definitely a big design flaw by Nintendo.
i wonder how many people take out the old one - and straight it goes to the trash, just to dig through it few minutes later - to find those small screws. ( would be nice to get some in package ... just thinking )
I bought the sharpshooter and was anazed by its quality. It worked perfectly until I decided to opened it to lube the plastic gears and bowl. Now it drifts right after moving the stick to the left!
The thing is for $14.99 you can buy a like new looking and functional N64 controller from eBay, but there's always good to have other options like this one.
I always use the Pokemon stadium ekans mini game as my test. Only official controllers with little wear seem to be the only way to play that mini game properly. Tried a few knockoff n64 controllers and they never work properly.
Not all replacement sticks are the same. Some use potentiometers whereas some , such as this one, utilize optical sensors just like original. Those complaining of poor third party replacement sticks are getting the potentiometer types. They are gritty af. Read the reviews before you buy.
Omfgwtfbbqrofflmfaol I have 2 first party 'ice blue' translucent controllers I'm going to do this to soon, ordered one new joystick already. Stone Age gamer has been sold out of the GameCube joysticks they have for n64 controllers )( so thank you for this video I've been thinking about looking up videos for this, had to come back and watch it again when I remembered I didn't like the video. Snazzy now when it gets here I don't have to watch some random tutorial video
I'd suggest opening up the analog stick and putting some white lithium grease in the white bowl. The analog stick will last for years and years on end.
nice vid, but I have tried many of these aftermarket sticks and none of them ever match the original. They all have terrible dead zones and poor range. Makes most of the games almost unplayable. I've taken to rebuilding the OEM parts using resin and some aftermarket parts that match OEM standards.
not gonna lie, if your going to replace your stick you may as well take the extra little step and clean EVERYTHING...it's not hard, just takes a little time out of your day
Pretty cool that a third party company makes these things. Nobody likes a sloppy N64 stick. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark did some damage to mine back in the day.
Please no one actually do this. Those replacement sticks are the worse thing on the market. Their sensitivity is through the roof. Look into Kitsch-Bent replacement parts or look up Steel Stick 64. Or best of all buy a new Retrofighters Brawler 64 Gamepad in Funtastic colors.
All full replacement sticks are hot garbage, They are made differently inside and the deazones and aiming in FPS is horrible. I repair original sticks myself, i use a dremel, a heatgun, sandpaper, a small file, super lube and a piece of a pen. There is a website that sells replacement sticks and gears for cheap too, im going to order some of them and see if the sticks and gear can be used to fix an original.
why do you skip multiple little things you do? things id like to see. you dont even show takeing the little clip from the top of the stick off. just dont get it. bad vid
Oooh yes an N64 video!

John sounds like John C Reilly, and I'm just imagining Dale Doback recording this in his dads house.
I love you John, but every time I look at you now I can't stop thinking you're Keemstar's dad in my head for some reason.
The sticks we used were gamecube style sticks which some people really enjoyed. Glad to see there's sticks closer to the original.

Glad it helped!
I love the introduction to your videos
I see these being sold without the connector, just bare wires. I take it those must be connected somehow? Great to see a video showing that
I used to repair these with a small piece of rubber band. Disassemble the original stick and replace the worn out part with a little bit of rubber band. It worked great!
It would be nice to see how you did it. it would be a cool DIY video (I'd watch it)
I wanna know if it responds well in banjo tooie, when you have to walk slowly on your toes and the analog must be pressed slightly in order to do that
Mario 64 another good (if obvious) test also.
Another good work, John! And as always, your passion lights up your content, that's why your videos are so fascinating!

Thanks for the video! The first one that the N64 joystick shakes and wigggles, please tell me why not throw it out?
Will the parts from the old joystick work inside the bowl of the remade piece?
So a few things.
I think you could swap the plastics to color match the original stick if that bothers you.
I wish you had shown the inside of the original stick and the replacement one.
How is the dead zone?
How is the detection of the degrees of movement ?
Is the new stick the same height as the original?

Rock on John ,very cool and helpful vid.
I really hope Nintendo releases a N64 Classic!
If an N64 classic also means a faithful reissue of the original controllers, the controllers will be incredibly popular with N64 collectors.

Because it's not as accurate. Uses different technology.
I hear the problem with these are that none of the replacements achieve the same accuracy as the original sticks. Main reason I haven't done mine. :-(
I'd suggest opening up the analog stick and putting some white lithium grease in the white bowl. The analog stick will last for years and years on end.

Corporate sheep.
so i could spend $15 + shipping for a replacement joystick. Or I could just buy a whole new generic controller for $11....lol
Every DIY repair, tape or glue does not work I’ve tried them all you’re better off just replacing the unit
looks like you skipped filming a step
why do you skip multiple little things you do? things id like to see. you dont even show takeing the little clip from the top of the stick off. just dont get it. bad vid
He looks like he was stung by a wasp under each eye.
