Anyone planning on doing this mod? I’ve got a box of “broken” controllers I’m looking to bring back to life with this kit.
Looks neat! Except then it wouldn’t work with the n64 itself anymore, right?
Not necessarily. If you get a Blue retro adapter you’d be able to pair it like any other Bluetooth controller
Ah sweet.
Super interested in these, I have a few other gaming expenses that are higher on the list at the moment, but as soon as I can I want to pick these up. I’ve been getting into modding consoles/controllers over the past year and this is exactly the kind of thing I’d love to work on!
If any of you here get it set up I would love to see a follow up post about your thoughts :)
I just got my shipment of these sticks in before I left for vacation. I still want to use them for the console so I didn’t get the Bluetooth adapters. I’m curious to see how the sticks do. I’ve been satisfied with other 8bitdo products I’ve bought.
8bitdo is probably my favorite third party hardware manufacturer. I love the SNES retro receiver, I use it to pair with the Bluetooth switch SNES controller and I notice no lag at all. I wish they made a similar adapter for N64, however I’ve used a BlueRetro adapter for my console paired with the switch N64 Bluetooth controller and had a similar level of success.
Nice! I wonder how faithful the control stick will be…
I stumbled across this video where the guy does a comparison between analog sticks using a homebrew test program. It’s not exactly perfect, but for many I think it would still be a preferable option. I’d probably still prefer the OG analog stick
That’s pretty cool, thanks for sharing!
“Real gamers play Perfect Dark and not Goldeneye” 😆 I loved Perfect Dark and have the game and always argued it was so much better (it’s a spiritual successor after all). But nothing wrong with enjoying both!
Have you tried the SteelStick? I found it the best replacement so far.
I had not heard of Steel stick before, but after looking into it a bit Ive now found another thing I didn’t know I needed yesterday
