Tired of that dead wobbly N64 controller stick? Don't want to suffer with one of those after market stick replacements? Well here's a solution for you. You can keep you OEM internals of the controller stick, like the little circuit board inside by replacing only 3 plastic components inside. After adding some silicone grease to all the rubbing parts, put it back together and its as good as new. If your actual stick plastic piece is no good, there are also replacements for those. Super affordable parts! I am not sponsored BTW Just a very satisfied customer.
This site has replacement parts for a lot of retro gaming paraphernalia.
If you are into restoring retro gaming equipment, this is a must see site. There are a few other YouTube folks that have used them and I certainly have purchased from them. Trustworthy would be a perfect word to describe them.
There is also a livestream available where I completely clean out the controller. This video footage is from that livestream.

i have not watched the whole vid much but thank you for showing viewers how to repair a n64 controller natoriously known stick wobble. i only just last week have learned what physically causes this and how to fix it. Vids like this one shows it is posable to fix a bad joystick pretty budget friendly instead of throwing out the old joystick to be forgotten about.

Best fix yet! I was about to buy a loose stick lot and go with the Epoxy method but this seems way better and cheaper.

I NEEDED this video. The new parts are great BUT the hole in the bowl for holding one of the gears is too small on all 3 of my sets. A lil boring with a P5 bit did the trick! Pro tip for anyone else who might read this. Check if you need to grind plastic away anywhere BEFORE you start slathering lube everywhere. Or don't, I'm not here to kink-shame anybody

I could only find the gears in Australia (ordering from Kitsch Bent amounted to large shipping fees) turns out it's pretty good without the bowl replacement! Unless the stick is extremely limp, 9 times out of 10 the bowl replacement is unnecessary :)

nice guide, Im glad you showed the areas that need plastic flashing removed, especially when you showed @4:18 that area is debatably more important than the others. Just wondering if you can help me w some info--when I go to drop the bowl in, it does not have the clearance to fit snug, the middle of the 3 pegs underneath where the new cup drops in, I have to sand the middle one down ever so slightly to avoid cup rocking on peg, and making the stick fit in there w slightly too little space.

Have you ever experienced the need to sand down the middle peg when dropping in the new cup? I'm convinced they really need to tweak the part a TINY BIT, but I never did hear back from the company when asking them about this directly.

I ordered a stick, gear set, and bowl from Kitsch-Bent, yesterday. I'm not sure when they will arrive. Do you know how long on average it takes for them to ship? I chose economy shipping, btw.

Thanks so much for the video! I plan to overhaul my 4 controllers soon! Did you replace the joystick as well or just the internals? In some cases is the joystick shot too or will replacing all these parts typically do the trick?

Absolutely beautiful! Wondering, what are the signs that an original bowl is in bad enough shape to need replacement if you open it up and are eyeballing it?
I guess I have the same question about sticks too.
The gears I have a rough idea, it's when the central slot that the stick fits through is clearly unevenly wider at parts, yeah?

And lastly, is silicone lube that you used the best recommended lubricant for n64 controller? Ive seen some others use lithium lube?
