N64 Third Party Controllers/Grip Question

[guest4743]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there are any alternatives to the n64 controller that aren't horrible.  I do know about the hori pad mini, but that's very expensive.  Is it worth it? 

Also, what size is the thumbstick compared to the xbox360/ ps3.  If they're the same size, I could just buy one of the many grips available and slap it on my N64 controller.

I was looking at the Superpad 64 a few months ago. However, having looked it appears it may be the same thing.

I'd heard of that one, however there were to many bad reviews to take a chance.  This is a pic of the Hori Pad Mini though.

That looks Xbox 360 controller type comfy. where's the Z button though?

The Z buttons are right near L and R.  There's actually one on each shoulder.

I like the stock N64 controller. The third party steering wheels were good alternatives. If you like driving games?
