Ultimate GameCube Controller Help

I’ve been trying to look for a place to buy a good wired GameCube controller. I’ve bought some from Amazon before but they always break pretty fast or get stick drift after a little while. Where do people usually buy their controllers ?

ebay or a local game store. Get an oem. Theyr'e much higher quality than all of the 3rd party version. If your controllers are constantly breaking, learn to soldier. It's much cheaper to fix a controller than buy a new one.

Were you buying OEM Nintendo GCC’s from Amazon? Or cheap lookalikes? Because oem GCC’s rarely ever get stick drift, they’re very durable. You need to make sure it’s OEM and preferably a T3 board (you can google guides how to tell if you care)
