I wanted to put ya'll on game with this thing I found. To any N64 fanatic here. If you havent tried the Hyperkin Captain 3rd patry controller. I was seriously shocked with the build quality.https://a.co/d/021BQtY7.jpg)
The joystick rebounds like a gamecube or ps2 controller. Perhaps better. Feels springy and has rubber grip for comfort. It's smooth as silk which is the biggest upgrade over the OEM. But it also has a more clicky, nice feeling on all the face buttons. It's basically if the N64 released in PS2 or PS3 gen. In a world of 13 to 15 dollar 3rd party controllers. 19.99 shipped is nice. And let it be known that the controller comes in gorgeous jungle green and funtastic blue colors. All the buttons feel modern. And the color is pinpoint accurate to my funtastic console.
Some of these are sky rocketing to above 40 dollars for the gold. And 25 for black. Or are out of stock.
Currently on amazon grey, blue and jungle green are 19.99. The controller is perfection and I loved it so much I bought a 2nd today. If I wasnt trying to budget id buy 4.
It has ports for rumble packs still. And even the dongle that attatches to the console is color correct unlike other cheaper 3rd party controllers that go grey regardless.
If You want to preserve your OEM stick or improve it without expensive mods. Get while the getting is good
