The Nintendo GameCube controller's joysticks can become loose and unresponsive over time. If you want to keep using your favorite controller without having to deal with faulty control stick and C-stick inputs, pick up a couple of these thumbstick potentiometers to make your controller feel brand new.

Replacement thumbstick caps and a complete GameCube controller button set are also available. 

Features

  • Compatible with both the gray control (analog) stick and the yellow C-stick
  • Fits genuine GameCube controllers and some third-party controllers

Included

  • 1 x Thumbstick potentiometer

Notes

  • This product requires soldering. To install, desolder the original thumbstick potentiometer and solder this one into place on the controller's PCB
  • The GameCube controller can be opened with a tri-wing screwedriver (sold separately)
  • This is an aftermarket product and may not feel identical to its genuine counterpart

All components I got are broken in some form or another

The game cube thumbsticks I received wore down within a couple weeks of average use. The stickboxes I bought and resoldered to my controller did not fit without slight modification to the outer plastic housing and began drifting worse than my old stickboxes. I believe the product quality is supremely bad and have since bought better components. I do not recommend any of Retro Modding's products if you use your controller more than once a month lmao. If you work for retro modding and are reading this, Either remove the products from your website or lower the price and explain they suck. Sorry guys, but if everything I bought from you only lasted a few months, you may need to reevaluate the suppliers of your products.

Just what I needed

Made the loose thumbstick as good as new. Fits perfectly for original GameCube controllers.

Note that installment requires soldering tools, however, the work is entry-level.
