Hello! Today I'm taking these useless N64 controllers and giving them a brand new start in life.
Don't forget to check out my other videos in the series of retro gaming repairs.
I forgot to add; you can buy entire replacement thumbstick modules which would save some time, however from what I can gleam from Reddit, they come in two flavours - 'poor quality pots but cheap' and 'better pots but expensive'. The better quality ones are about £15, so I wasn't prepared to spend £75 to repair controllers, I'm sure you could buy a second-hand controller for £15.
The method I chose was substantially cheaper but required a little more work and also retains the original opto-encoder thingies which are in perfect condition, meaning the translation of movement has the original 'feel' and 'curves'.
I've been asked where I got the parts from, and handily they have a referral link, which gives you 15% off:
