Wireless Nintendo 64 Pads Due For Summer Release

Fixing N64 Analog Sticks

All I really want is a decent wired N64 pad with a stick that won't wear out. I have some third-party pads but they all have other problems.

Depends on what kind of wearing out is happening with your analog stick, but I've found this video from lukemorse1 to be very informative about fixing it:

True I live in USA North-East Coast, too bad since I just got me a replacement stick for one of my n64 controllers and will be testing that out and if its not up to par I will do that mod I talked about but I have no real interest in n64 at this time so it might go in the list of things to do.

One suggestion. Send it to helder and get him to solder it.

chances he lives in the US or canada, i live in venezuela so it's gonna be a long trip for that controller

That's the good thing about that mod I linked to, it uses the original pad so its quality is good. On that same forum the guy who made the mod also is selling a pcb if you dont want to make your own that makes these 3rd party n64 sticks work with all games and reduce the sensitivity of the stick to mimic the actual n64's stick.

in one is an actual hardware problem, the stick is so hard that it's impossible to make a subtle move, i have a pseudo working controller only that some of the cable ends snapped inside the controller and my uncle is too lazy to try to solder it and i lack experience to attempt soldering.

Richard Mitchell of Joystiq was able to try a test unit of the controller at E3. Although he admits that he only tested it for less than 5 minutes, Mitchell says that the controller’s didn’t seem too bad, although it’s not quite as good as the official controller.

hmm, i would be sold if i had some sort of opinion on how it plays with zelda and BK and BT, because otherwise i am on the fence, given the controllers i have are of the pelican brand and they suck.

No clue on that one, but I'll see what I can find out.

[Duncan Idaho]

How would you describe it's responsivness? i am more intrested on that than naything else i own two third party controllers and the sticks are hyper sensititve or hyper un sensitive making games like BK and BT unplayable.

Helder, you are a hacking machine, I admire your efforts, well done.

There is a guide to build your own n64, snes, nes, saturn wireless pads on http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=4393.0 . I plan to build me some and have ordered some of the parts already but I'm currently designing a pcb to manufacture so it looks professional and will fit nicely in the pads casing. I'm on a pcb designing rush right now and making all sorts of mods for the retro consoles like a pcb to output RGB aka Component video from Snes and other consoles and is universal in a way.
