    Fixing the inside of the joystick assembly was some next level shit that I’ve never seen from a restoration channel. Most channels I’ve seen either buy a replacement aftermarket joystick part or just take one from another controller. Absolute beast. This is why you’re my favorite restoration channel.

It's clear he cares about this hobby a lot, and he knows what he's doing. Sure, he has a rubber ducky, but that doesn't mean he's childish, it means he has a sense of humor. Maybe some factory workers do put more care into making these products, but it's safe to assume most don't. My original comment was clearly hyperbolic anyway.

      Nintendo's point in saying that is taking apart a controller (or console or game for that part) before the warranty expires voids the warranty. You can only get official repair support from Nintendo as long as you don't break the seals on those electronics.
      They are also dissuading people who do not know what they are doing from opening up the controller and possibly making it worse.

      They got the joystick right on the GC. If I'm remembering correctly, part of the reason N64 joysticks were wearing out was due to the axis being made of plastic, which was shaved down over an extended period of time / usage.
      I think Nintendo corrected that issue by swapping the axis material to metal, thus reducing the wear on the axis.

    if anyone has trouble like me getting the clip that was removed at 4:50 in working order again, here is how you fix it. Both ends of the spring needs to face down when you insert it back. When you removed the clip, the overhead end jumps to the other side. Simple hold it down with your finger when you insert it back, and everything should work fine.
    Also for removing the clip, I used the pointy part of my plastic spudger to push the sides in from below the handle on the outside of the controller. This is right when they are located and if you push the clip a bit down, you might be able to see the pivot points that you need to press inwards. I manage to get them lose without much force that way, which limit the risk of damaging this part.
