 To whoever was having the same question has me, I found this other store which sells the exact same thumbstick: http://www.nintendorepairshop.com/products/34-Nintendo-64-N64/1821-New-N64-Controller-Thumbstick-Repair-Part/

And this one ships to Brazil! I know because I've bought stuff from it before and it arrived here secured and safely

Be careful when ordering from Nintendo Repair Shop.

I ordered two game bits, and a game bit handle from them, and while I did receive the game bits, I did not receive the game bit handle. I tried contacting them by e-mail first, a few days went by with no response, so I decided to call them. No answer, so I left a message. Called back a few days later, no answer, left a message.

In the end, they never responded to me about my missing game bit handle. While the piece was only $5 bucks, that's not the point. Their customer service isn't what they say it is, and they pretty much stole five bucks from me.

I love this:



My red controller and the swapped out next to the original thumbstick. Thumbstick movement is great! and feels like it will last wayyyyyyy longer.

Thanks for the link guys!

How hard are these to replace?  I need some new N64 joysticks.

I smirked when I read this from the product description: We do not have any detailed information available about how to install this item in your Nintendo 64 control pad, but if you have a Phillips screw driver and a brain you should be able to handle it...

I'll second that. I ordered one of their "refurbished" NES controllers. I think by refurbished, they meant picked up from some garage sale and not even cleaned. I spent $10 for something I could have bought anywhere else for $5. I at least assumed that the thing would have been in tip top shape and taken apart and cleaned. Maybe even have the rubber contacts replaced?

Anyway, I emailed them and didn't receive a response for a week. When they finally got back to me, they were somewhat condescending in their tone and offered me a $2 credit which I have yet to see.

They have a great selection and website. I just wouldn't buy anything from there again unless it was my last resort.

Glad to see those joysticks selling. Hope they keep them in stock for others later in the future.

I'm a little torn with this ... I'm debating if I should buy 100 more "8-disc poly cases" or if I should buy 5 of these joysticks .... Hmmm  :-\

Cool idea.  I know I have tossed some controllers in the past due to limp control sticks. I had no idea such things existed.  Smart.
