Replacement joysticks

Post by FisHNorway » Thu Sep 04, 2014 5:46 pm

I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong section :).

I'm looking for replacement joysticks for my controllers. I had a look at these: http://bit.ly/1qrnJay , but I'm not sure if they're any good.
Anyone out there with any experience with this? Thanks! Awesome forum by the way. :)

Why do you need them, did the caps break? Or are they not working like they used to?

I bought some used controllers and the caps were broken :(

Those are exactly what you need as long as the rest of the controller works.

That's what I thought. Do you have any experience with '3rd party' caps?

No but I do know that some are interchangeable, ie I have an old roommate who had gc caps on his 360 remote.

I've never tried it, but you can reportedly use nunchuck joystick caps or Wii U caps which in my opinion have a similar feel but a better look. Black ones dont yellow either (doritos now acceptable when playing).

Nunchuck/classic controller caps will work fine.
Simply remove and place, nothing else to it.

It would be cheaper for me to buy a replacement cap instead of a nunchuck, but thanks for the tip:)
