    There is no arduino... I just had to go for that stupid 40 year old pun.

    But look at this.  From what it claims, this uses the hall effect to detect joystick position, is as sensitive as the original N64 stick (a common problem with most replacements is they tend to be less sensitive), won't suffer wear and tear because the measuring device doesn't grind against anything, and uses a softer rubberized grip like literally every other analog stick for every single console known to science.  It also doesn't seem that expensive.  Frankly, after checking in on reviews once this product comes out to confirm the claims, I intend to snag myself a bushel full of these things and get my N64 controllers working better than new.

    Holy potatoes! I need to buy one and try not to gimp a precious N64 controller in the process. Its shape looks more like a GameCube analog stick than N64 though, so, not sure if that will throw off the feeling I'm accustomed to.

    You'll be able to play Mario Party and not destroy controllers anymore, right on Cool

    Right, or my ancient arthritic joints!
