    This image is a fantasy.

    No one had four grey controllers.

    Show me some red, green and “translucent” purple.

    Also one of the control sticks should be broken.

      That’s pretty spot on for my experience. I only had 3: 1 gray, 1 red, and 1 translucent purple off brand.

      (edit: the red one was the one with a drifty joystick, but for some reason it was my favorite)

        We were grey, yellow, and offbrand black that had a semi-functional turbo mode and the joystick would reverse if you pushed too hard on it.

        A 4th was always supplied by the rare potential 4th player

      On a related note, they can now refurbish your N64 conrollers with mini GameCube joysticks and they’re fucking SICK.

        Theyre not as good as the original sticks though. Bigger deadzone and a different gate. Cool, but not a very accurate replacement. Steel Sticks is a better, if more exclusive, option.

          Huh, haven’t had any issues with deadzone. If anything, the deadzone is too small, especially on Goldeneye, where the sensitivity felt way too high for the software. But I found it a super smooth upgrade for pretty much everything else, especially Kart and platformers. I just looked up those steel sticks though, and they look awesome! I bet that has a nice, authentic feel to it.

      I’ve had twelve controllers and my original translucent purple one from when I bought it new is still the best one.

      That’s not four grey controllers.

      That’s one grey controller and three grey d-pads.

      edit: That word shouldn’t have been plural.
