Good place to buy reliable SNES/Super Famicom controllers

This a shot in the dark, but my SNES controller has been on the fritz for awhile, and the screws on the back of the controller are stripped, making replacing the rubbers on the controller almost impossible. I'm also getting issues where when I'm trying to jump my A press drops making me fall into a pit or or not being able to jump through bowsers hammers, or something or other. Is there any or reliable vendor I can go to to get a newer or refurbished controller that doesn't feel like I'm putting down a bunch of force just to get a small jump? Thanks!

Hey!

Unfortunately I don't know of a place for high quality controllers however if you are a DIY sort, you can buy replacement rubber membranes and that may assist with your dropped A presses. Websites such as ZedLabz, Console5 and AliExpress will all have these parts readily available, though do note you will need a PH1 screwdriver, and be careful not to strip the screws.

If you have any other questions please let me know!

Like I said, the screws on the back of the controller are stripped, making that REALLY hard. I appreciate the input though, I used to get replacement controllers through Retro-Bit but it seems they've stopped selling their controllers that work for SNES :(
