Once this current inventory sells out, the next manufacturing run will take up to 6 weeks. Secure your upgrade kit today before our on-hand stock is gone.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTired of loose, drifting, or gritty classic 64-bit joysticks? The original module was built entirely out of plastic. Over time, plastic grinding against plastic creates that infamous white powder, which is the literal dust of your crumbling childhood hardware.

Our gears feature an electrofused Epoxy Resin E-Coat that is just 10 to 15 microns thick, which is roughly one-fifth the width of a human hair. This creates an ultra-smooth polymer skin that completely eliminates metal-on-plastic grinding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"retrounit-feature-title\"\u003e0.5g Pure PTFE Grease Included:\u003c\/span\u003e Formulated specifically for classic console hardware, this 100% synthetic lubricant contains zero petroleum distillates or mineral oils.
