atari-dna Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Looking to refurbish an NES gamepad found in the wild recently, the silicone pads are worn out (some are torn). I need to replace them, seeking recommendations on quality reproductions that have good tactile feel and quality construction. Some candidates: AliExpress Console5 trusted ebay or Amazon marketeers If you have a recommendation on a favorite source for these components, I'd like to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I'd go with console5 if thats your option. They'll at least try and be a bit better about having shoddy parts since they have a strong reputation for parts, repair parts, upgrades, mods, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will order one of their DB9 extension cables too. I'll post my impressions after I've had some time to evaluate, maybe it will help others make an informed choice in the future. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
