This is a quick guide on replacing a faulty joystick on an N64. If you have a controller with a wobbly joystick, this is the way to resolve your issue.
This can also be considered a mod if you are upgrading the joystick to a redesigned replacement. Upgrading is recommended because the Nintendo 64 has a poorly designed joystick that is prone to breaking and because the redesigned joystick has better control.

If you don't line up the z button accurately it can be tricky getting the case back on.
I have a couple thumbstick replacements that do not have the connector. They are from Sodial, and I was wondering if there was a way that they can be easily connected.
Hi, I've been trying to put a Zedlabz N64 joystick replacement in, and I've managed to install it but having so much trouble trying to get the case back on. I put the original back on and had no issues at all. I've tried everything but can't seem to match it up. Anyone got any ideas?
Is the new one too big? Hitting somewhere? You might need to dremel the places where it hits.
