You're a braver man than I. Just seems like too much effort, and not something I'd try to tackle.
Hoping the end result turns out awesome.

I don't mind the effort, as I enjoy the journey. It is pretty expensive though...
Honestly I just want a permanent solution, for n64 controllers that will be reliable forever, and I'm willing to put in some effort to get that done.
I hear you on that. But I guess I'd rather wait to see if something like the Retro Fighters controller turns out OK, and just buy that.
Hell, I would like to also mod an NES to have HDMI but I've never learned how to work with soldering so I am hesitant to try. At some point I'm going to try though. I want to at least be competent enough to change a save battery.
I've always wanted to try that. I've seen people mod 2 n64 controllers together to do that, and I always think maybe someday I'll do that.

So now there's a bunch of options. Here is perhaps the ultimate:

Basically someone has started making sticks (and bowls) out of machined steel.

Yup. $125 seems appropriate, to make it worth their while, for the small volumes they must be selling. A bit rich for my blood though.While I appreciate the effort, $125 for a single stick mod is a lot. Unfortunately, there's not enough customer base that they could ever get any kind of economy of scale going.
Well, to be fair anything's an improvement over the original N64 controllers.
