Control stick and C-stick make up the three most important parts: the stick itself, the stick box it is attached to, and the potentiometers the stick box is attached to.  
Control stick and C-stick make up the three most important parts: the stick itself, the stick box it is attached to, and the potentiometers the stick box is attached to.  
The shape of the stick box prevents the value extremes from being achieved, and the octagonal shape on the outer shell of the controller further cuts down the effective input range to approximately 25-230. This range varies from controller to controller and decreases with use as the friction between the inner stick box parts creates a gap and thus a loose zone. Because of this, a worn-down controller's stick will push the potentiometer less than a fresh controller's stick.

====Screws====
Standard GameCube controllers use 2.5mm<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6pWAoIx7KY&lc=UgxsL-717yLLhQ6Ynxd4AaABAg.8iUQc0ceypV8iVyZmXi7ra GUIDE: How to Open a Gamecube Controller - YouTube] comment by Panda Hugs ''"Hi!
