It doesn’t suffer from stick drift like modern controllers. But it’s not without its flaws. The problem? It’s made entirely out of plastic, which wears down over time and leads to performance issues. Over the years, we’ve seen various replacement solutions pop up, but most fall short in one way or another. That is, until now. A new product from RockerGaming and Tao promises a long-term fix. It’s called the Renaissance Stick, and today, we’re taking a closer look. //Macho Nacho Second Channel: ► Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9QC7o2eLuYYWpvkAd_NBXg ► Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MachoNachoProductions //Where to Buy Renaissance Kit: ► RockerGaming Store: https://shop.rockergaming.com/products/renaissance-kit ► Optional Greases (affiliate): ► https://amzn.to/4jjqfOq ►https://amzn.to/4jC1bSp ►https://amzn.to/3GesCDn //Mario 64 Speed Runners ► Kally Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/kally ► Kally BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/kally.bsky.social ► TreyBardo Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/treybordo ► TreyBardo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@treybordo //Other Video Links ► RetroMeister Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzq1IXt79SQ ► RockerGaming: https://x.com/RockerGameMod ► TaoStyx64: https://linktr.ee/taostyx64 //Macho Nacho T-Shirts: ► MERCH Store: https://www.artisticpixels305.com/machonacho —-- Timestamps 0:00 Intro 1:56 The Major Advantage and Flaw Of The N64 Analog Stick 5:52 The Solution and What Comes with The Renaissance Kit 6:07 How Does The Renaissance Kit Fix The Problem? 7:40 How To Install The Renaissance Kit (TUTORIAL) 15:01 The Results (Test Results To) 17:25 Features Overview 19:21 Pros and Cons 22:01 Where To Buy? ----- // Support Macho Nacho: ► PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/MachoNachoProductions ► eBay STORE: https://www.ebay.com/usr/machonachovideogamemods ► MERCH: https://www.artisticpixels305.com/machonacho ► WEBSITE: https://macho-nacho.com/ ► JOIN our DISCORD Community: https://discord.gg/4c3fCnfdaH ► AMAZON Store For Tools/Supplies I Use (Affiliate): http://www.amazon.com/shop/machonachoproductions // Follow Macho Nacho On Social Media ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/machonachomedia ► Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/machonachomedia.bsky.social ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/machonachoproductions/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MachoNachoProductions —-- // SAVE MONEY at these Retro Gaming Stores!
