Fuck the n64 controller stick

Probably more of a rant then an announcement but whatever:

The n64 controller stick is an absolute pile of shit, and I'm fucking sick of it. I refuse to speedrun Tooie again until I get a good replacement stick. Seriously, every time I start to get used to it the damn thing wears more so I have to readjust my muscle memory. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME. I've thought about doing this for a while but I finally decided to put my foot down on this shit when I went to AGDQ and tried out the hori. The button scheme was awkward as all hell, but the stick felt like HEAVEN.

Lemme give you an example, the cliff top jinjo shot requires a semi-precise position and aiming where you aim the clockwork egg shot right above the top of the cliff to hit the jinjo. On my best days I've gotten the shot after adjusting the aimer for 5-10 seconds. At AGDQ the first thing I tested out was the cliff top shot. I literally flicked the stick up and it stopped at the perfect spot in less then a second. I've NEVER been able to get the aimer in position that fast, ever. And that goes for every god damn trick in the book. The fact that I'm seriously losing time only because of a faulty controller is absolute bullshit.

Basically what I plan on doing is either:

1) buying all the alternative sticks and trying each one until I decide which is best
2) http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=5023.0 seems to be the better alternative, but it seems to require a lot of soldering and stuff and I'm bad at that stuff. Also I would have to wait until February to get the parts, so that's a wait.

If anyone wants to help me figure out the best decision let me know. Also it would be great if there was someone able to replace the controller stick for me, tried looking for that type of service online but I couldn't find it =/
