I've been on YT, watching vids and commenting when I've had time. Unfortunately editing and uploading take time. These injuries gave me some time to edit something together. I have way more unedited and unuploaded unfortunately / fortunately, depending how you look at it.
@@WhatsOnMyShelf Hello, sorry to bother you, I couldn't find your contact anywhere. I have a question with Sega Genesis Conductive Rubber in your video where you put NES ones in place of the original. How does it compare to the original, does the button feel good when pressed ? Anything you can add is greatly appriciated.
@@Sebastianlovesnuts It depends how much of the "nipple" you leave on the button. I recommend extremely sharp fabric scissors. They are very precise. The feel of the button is very springy, just like new, if you cut correctly. You wouldn't even know modding has been done to the controller. I recommend cutting little by little till you get a feel you can have the controller disassembled and plugged into the system. After each cut fit the parts together but don't fasten the screws. You can test the height of your cut and rework, if needed. As for the D-Pad, I haven't replaced one in a while, but I recall that feeling lower, depending on the inside mold of the controller. Maybe that could be modded by cutting or melting down the D-Pad well of the controller; however, that would probably make it unfit for any official SEGA branded pads, but those would come from an old controller that doesn't work but has good parts. I think it's worth revisiting the topic for that issue; that is, if I am remembering correctly about the fit of the D-Pad replacement.
@@WhatsOnMyShelf Thank you for the answer, I ordered 4 NES ones just in case. My dpad is perfect, but the C button is giving me a half mushy-half clicky feel. Once again thank you for the reccomendation and a good solution, you're the only one on the internet that actually talked about it. I cannot believe that the topic of rubber membraines is not discussed more, its like these guys play their retro games with a mushy controllers and nobody seems to mind, which I find mindblowing.
@@Sebastianlovesnuts Yeah, I've been away from the computer for a while otherwise I'd answer you sooner. I'm glad people are still getting informed by my tips. The broken Sega controller is definitely a thing.
