Customers are not happy with the stickiness of the video game accessories. They mention that the cap feels really rubbery and doesn't grip as well as a 1st party stick. The rubber comes off of the control stick way too quickly and bumps into the controller.

Customers are dissatisfied with the clickiness of the video game accessories. They mention that the stick didn't make the standard clicking sound that they're used to hearing.

Works exactly as described. Repaired my old wave bird with no issues, just make sure you have the right screwdriver bit to take them apart.

Perfect replacement sticks for my worn out game cube controllers. Works with both the corded and the Wavebird. NOTE: You WILL have to take your controllers apart to complete the repair. For this you will need a Tri-wing mini screwdriver.

Gets the job done, but has its flaws.

Even after reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance of these replacement sticks to refurbished a broken GameCube controller. Well, the majority of the reviews are spot on when they address the thin cheap plastic that these sticks are molded with. To address other reviewers, they are right to say that they get the job done. My advice is to pass unless you are in desperate need.

This replacement analog is just awful. It has a very sticky type of feel to the rubber when using it and mine has already worn out quite a bit from only like a total of around 10-12 hours of in game play as Luigi in Melee. Lots of wave dashing but still should NOT wear this fast. Only had it for about a 3-4 weeks. And just have played net play here and there. Honestly, the sticky cheap rubber feeling is what ruins it mostly. Also the hole at the bottom of the analog used to place the analog on the controller is to deep. Causing it to go to far down to making the rubber always hitting the controllers sides and giving it a jammed up feeling. I had to put a little piece of paper and jam it into the hole to make it not so deep so the analog would stay higher up on the controller. There aren't many other alternatives for these analogs. Just wish it was made with a little more love for the hard core melee player.

The C stick isn't bad I guess and is holding together fine.

Works awesome, my stick doesn't hurt my thumb when sffling anymore.
Edit: Not 30 minutes after writing this, less than a week after I installed it the rubber cap tore off.
If it can't handle my fox it's not worth buying.

Stick it- stick it good.

After having two of my gamecube analog sticks get either chewed up or destroyed, I figured it was time to replace them. So, with a new tri-wing screwdriver, I popped open the controllers and went about an incredibly easy replacement process. Once the new sticks were in, I could hardly tell the difference between them and an official/original manufacturer's part. They look and feel great- thoug ha discerning eye will notice that the C-stick is a little more... plastic-y than the original. Still, it's a good product.

As an added note, if your analog stick feels "loose", getting a replacement stick will probably not fix that, since that's more an issue with the mechanism attached to the stick. Still, that's not the replacement stick's fault, since it does what it was designed to do quite well!

I got mine from "Two Brothers Game Store" and I found them to be a perfect fit, unlike some of the other reviews.
The stick feel is correct and does the clickety thing when circled around the controller.

The yellow was a bit paler than the one it replaced, but I don't know if that's due to aging of the original.

Either way I put them in, kept the old ones just in case, and I'm gruntled!

Not as good as the original, but it's the best fix I could find for a broken joystick

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

I used these to replace the joysticks in a Gamecube controller I had that was in rough shape. You have to buy a special tri-wing screwdriver to open up the controller and put the new sticks in, but it's only about one or two dollars and it's not too hard to open up and put back together. At first it seemed kinda expensive, but I guess it's cheaper than finding an official controller in mint condition and it's a lot better than buying a cheap after market controller. Overall, this is a pretty good choice if you want to get some more life out of your old worn out controller.
