How to Replace an N64 Controller Joystick (AND Why They Break!)

[@rfigueroa1247]

I haven’t tried replacement sticks but I usually just replace the bowl and gears if they been worn out

[@jesserodriguez6799]

Where can I order that new stick

[@NostalgicVideoGamesArcade]

XYAB or Amazon

I remember the exact moment my friend broke their N64 controller while playing Mario trying to do the Bowser spin throw

You should emphasize that YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT THROW AWAY THE OLD STICK ASSEMBLY. A quality manufacturer of modern potentiometers doesn't seem to exist and I presume all the manufactures of optical encoder wheels died when ball mice went obsolete. This sucks because the sensing technology itself in the OEM stick is contactless and theoretically can work forever *i.e. THOSE OLD STICK ASSEMBLIES ARE VALUABLE AND WORTH FIXING!!!*

The answer is to get a steel bowl. Then you'll never have the problem again.
