The first phase of Project Renaissance, my reimagining of the N64 stick, is complete, and the results are stunning. Here's what it's all about, a 

This release is an enthusiast/professional N64 stick, bowl, and gate combo that transforms precision, feel, and quality. Here's a breakdown of the parts:

The stick was created with @ALinkToTao, who has a history of crafting high-quality sticks for the N64 scene. We collaborated to combine innovative ideas into one package. We affectionately call it the Tao v4 OEM Pro.

It features a unique adjustment system, letting users customize its feel and output for their specific needs. We changed up the cap design to feature a unique tongue and groove system to better support the cap and reduce the chance it comes loose during game play.

Next, the stick features a unique taper that engages the notches nicely on both OEM gates and the Renaissance gate, discussed below

The Renaissance Gate is an injection-molded, high-quality, OEM-compatible gate with enhanced notch feel and more consistent values compared to OEM. It features a set screw design for easy assembly and disassembly and is made from high-quality polycarbonate.

The Renaissance bowl features a multi-material design with a hardened steel insert and an injection-molded housing. The bowl housing is designed to be OEM compatible as a drop in replacement for OEM bowl housing with enhanced mating with the Renaissance gate.

Overall performance is excellent, with smooth gameplay, strong benchmarks, and a superior feel compared to OEM. Users must supply their own spring, encoder wheels, encoder PCB, lower housing and gears, which can be sourced from an OEM module.

Individual parts (sticks and bowls) and kits (sticks, bowls, and gates) go on sale Friday at 10 AM CST on my Etsy, with shipping in May. Gates will be offered separately at a later date. All parts are on hand, QA is complete, and there's no tariff risk for US customers.

The first step to ending the controller lottery is here, letting players play without their stick holding them back! Thanks to @Jerome @treybordo @Kally @drumstix576 for help with the pics!
