I`ve ordered a couple varieties of replacements for GameCube controllers. These are certainly at par or better than what I generally find. Good product. Just be sure to press them down the right distance when installing. You can lift them up a bit if you find they drag a bit after.
I ordered a few of the gray sticks, one as an immediate replacement and the others on standby, just in case. I was pleased that there was rubber grip, but found that the grip circles are not very tall and did not feel that close to the original. I don't think that will make too much of a difference during gameplay though. These won't be mistaken for OEMs. However, they seem to get the job done.
If you're one who prizes the look and feel, these will not satisfy you. If you're simply looking to replace a cap, these should suffice.
Some people say that generic caps feel different than the originals, but in this case, it feels exactly the same. I have a side hustle as a Technician, and I used this caps to repair some broken ones from a Customer's broken controller, and let me tell you they feel great, good as new. I would definitely recommend buying this ones instead of some cheap eBay ones.
Good quality replacement stick. The stick is snappy and smooth. The bottom of the stick has plenty of clearance and does not reach any of the components/leads on the PCB. Rubber caps feel decent, and have held up well so far. I will likely be replacing all of my faulty sticks with these in the future.
I was looking for a suitable replacement for some aged and really messed up joystick caps. These really gave my controllers a breath of fresh air which I am grateful for! Minor issue, the rubber rings don't seem to have quite as much height to them when compared to some nice originals that I have.
More important though, these sit slightly lower on the stick box than an original joystick cap, and as a result the bottom of the thumb nub will rub against the controller when it is assembled giving the stick a "mushy" feeling. I was able to get around this by cutting up a little piece of plastic(~ 1mm thick, I clipped a small bit off of a zip-tie) and putting it inside of the hole on the replacement thumbstick before I put the thumbstick on the GC controller stick-box.
After doing that I am pretty happy with everything. Also this is the case for all 6 of these that I bought, so it does not seem to be an issue of varying tolerance between parts.
This cap has the proper dimesions and a nice rubber tip, as well as the propper fitting on the buttom. Feels like OEM, I am very satisfied. Much better than those all-plastic sticks you get from China.
