Introduction |
| This is a draft teardown of a 3rd party Combat Arcade Stick, Model No. G5758, designed by Intec for the Nintendo Wii console. | | | | | This arcade stick was available at a very cheap price compared to many similar models for sale around the time, mainly because of its exclusive compatibility with the Nintendo Wii using a connection similar to a Classic Controller attached to a Wii Remote; it was also sourced and manufactured using very cheap plastic parts and frail wiring connections. | | | | | While the unit can be opened for basic maintenance and cleaning, it's very difficult to repair or replace some sub-components without making the device inoperable, because there are several permanently-soldered connections between each piece. | | | | | Still, this stick may be a worthwhile DIY build if one is willing to desolder, dismantle and rebuild many of its weaker parts. |
