I don’t think it will last as long either but for the money it’s pretty ok. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Fine, makes me feel like a kid again *by E***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 23, 2020* It has been a long time (possibly 19 years?) since I have experienced a brand new n64 stick so I'm not sure what it is "supposed" to feel like but this stick seems fine! It does seem more sensitive than the original stick? But I am able to play Donkey Kong 64 completely fine with it (the aiming always sucked in that game anyways) and Star Wars Rogue one is completely playable as well. The stick seems larger than the original and as others have said, the connector is too large, so prepare to whittle it a little bit with a pocket knife to get it to fit. This stick also seems to have a "break in" where it will feel almost a little grindy at first, it just took about an hour to feel smooth for me.I have tried the Gamecube style sticks before but they just never felt right with Super Smash Bros so this old-style stick was the better option to me.All in all it is serving it's function and I will update this review if I can get my hands on an original "tight" controller to compare it with. I will also update if it breaks in the next 6 months but so far so good. ### ⭐⭐⭐ An ‘OK’ replacement *by S***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 8, 2018* When unboxing and initially viewing the guts I was unimpressed and about to give it a 5/10 for it’s rigid feel and visibly cheap plastic. The entire casing and all guts feel cheaper than OG. The bowl, wheels, and gears are identical to the parts inside the 3rd party OG-style replacement sticks that have been around for a few years.*The wheels and gears are different size than OG and parts are not interchangeable. The wheels have gaps that are farther apart than OG and the plastic is visibly cheaper/lighter than OG. The stick is slightly thinner at the ball point, so OG sticks will not fit in this casing and these sticks will fit loosely inside of an OG casing.*The gears also have one more “tooth” than OG. If you throw OG gears into this module, the teeth will not reach the wheels far enough to spin them.After testing it out in training mode for maybe 20 mins. or so, I was pleasantly surprised. Still feels a little rigid, but definitely playable. Vid below of me spamming bad ness tech and untrue combos. But at least you can see the stick is definitely playable.Range: Did a range test on emu and here are the results:X: -95 to +89Y: -102 to +88Worries me a little that the range is so different between the negative and positive inputs. This was my factory unused stick range after unboxing it. I wonder if others will experience the same or if they’ll just be inconsistent values from stick to stick. 88 and 89 are awesome but 102 down is a little high...Pros:-Can do most tech with pretty decent consistency-PCB on these sticks looks like an upgrade from prior 3rd party OG-style stick replacements-Pretty cheap ($13)-Easy to change, Z-button seats fine on back of new replacement-“Good range”Cons:-Inconsistent range values-Cheaper/lighter plastic parts are not promising for a long stick life-Same bowl/gears/wheels as prior 3rd party similar replacement sticks-Parts mostly not interchangeable with OG except maybe the bowl-Slightly rigid feel and a little noisy,but not horribleMy overall opinion: 7/10. Giving it 3/5 stars on Amazon since 3.5 isn’t an option.Still worth the $13 IMO. I still prefer to play on my “okay”/light-moderate wear OG sticks for the consistency and feel, but these are fine upgrades if you’re struggling with crappy/worn out sticks. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/70464391-repairbox-controller-joystick-for-n64-optical-style](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/70464391-repairbox-controller-joystick-for-n64-optical-style) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
