    Isn’t the N64 controllers using optical sensor and those are one of the worst controller ever existed?

      The sensors on the N64 are basically the same kind you’d find in a mouse wheel. They work fine.

      The crap part is the physical construction. There’s a lot of parts that wear down with use and cause the joystick to become loose due to the plastics wearing away.

      N64’s issues came from the bushings wearing out, the sensors were still very good
