I've had some technical issues with mine, almost like intermittent super drift (it will occasionally start drifting really hard to the left). When it does work, it's nice, it's probably the best of the replacement joysticks. It's not quite as good as the standard stick when doing very small precise movements (e.g., aiming in perfect dark, or walking with mario, or doing a medium punch in smash). But it's far better than a lot of the previous replacement joysticks. I do think it's worth trying out, and having on hand for the future when every n64 joystick has finally bitten the dust.

I think the best approach is still just to open up and grease up the bowl of a regular joystick, and then to maintain a schedule of re-greasing (doesn't need to be crazy, like every 200 hours or so).
