You can replace the stick with gamecube-like quality sticks, works perfectly for platformers and mario party and the like. Not so much for shooters cause your aim will be all over the place :P

Do you have a place I could get these replacement sticks? I'm sure there's a tutorial on how to do the replacement somewhere on TCP, but I'd appreciate it if you could point me towards it.

Tutorial: Screw open N64 controller, remove old thing, insert new thing.
It's as simple as that, no soldering required.

Yes, its that simple. And most of the newly upgraded joysticks are far superior to the original one in terms of build quality
