N64 controllers had an issue where once the lubricant dried out the joystick began grinding it's contained bowl into dust. It's not a springiness issue as much as it is a holder destruction. Massive design flaw.
- libele 3y agokitsch bent makes a very good (injection molded, i believe) clone of the whole assembly. the controllers i did a few years ago actually only needed the bowl replaced. with a bit of silicone lubricant dabbed onto the places where plastic grinds together, they feel practically new again. worlds apart from those awful gamecube style sticks that make playing quite a few games impossible.
- jonwest 3y agoI made the mistake of falling for buying those GameCube replacement sticks. I don’t get how people can say they’re better. Objectively worse. I should really swap them back with some new original style sticks.
