How To Repair The Nintendo 64 3D Analog Stick

This guide will show you how to repair your Nintendo 64 Controller 3D Analog Stick.

I will start of by saying that I am no expert at this. I grew up with a Nintendo 64 and still 13 years later I play it occasionally with friends. A common sickness with the N64 controllers was the 3D Analog Stick which worn out after some time.

There is a video on YouTube floating around which shows you how to repair the analog stick with tape. Though this might work in some cases if the damage is not severe, it did not really work for me. There is also a flaw in that method which I am going to explain later on.

This repair guide is not free if you don't have all the peripheries at home but if you own 4 controllers with worn out sticks this might be something for you. It is possible to buy the analog stick as a replacement part but they are not produced anymore.

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY WHAT SO EVER FOR ANY KIND OF DAMAGE.
