Hey everyone.  I just recently pulled my NES out of the closet, and am starting to revive it lol  Got the new 72 pin connector, getting the little door (mine was broke), and so far thats it.  One thing I was wondering about though is the controllers.  I currently have a few, but they are all kind of old, and don't respond properly.  So my questions are:

1.  Has anyone ever tried third party controls?  Are they any Good?

2.  I was also seing that they sell repair kits for controllers.  Would that be a better option than the third party control?

The only 3rd party controllers worth looking at are Beeshu Zippers. They are a very nice controller really.
