@$%$**&^ Controller!!!!

I have two controllers, the first party controller the GCN came with and a third party controller my friend bought so we could play multi-player games. Neither work. It actually started in late November/early December. I was playing james Bond: Nightfire when Bond would start moving to the right, like the ontroller was set wrong. I would constantly have to reset the controller only to have it not work a few minutes later. It got worse. Eventually, resetting the controller wouldn't work. When I switched to the third party controller, it was even worse. Not playable.

My friend came over and cleaned the ends out with a toothbrush. He used the third-party controller. It was fine, as if nothing happened. The first-party controller still didn't work, although I could still play with it.

I didn't any new games (and I hadn't beaten all my other ones) so I didn't play the GCN for a while and played with the PS2 and XBox, which I had gotten for Christmas.

Today, I got the OoT/Master Quest bonus disc. Early this morning, before I left to get it, I played some Clone Wars just to pass the time. The first party controller didn't work at all but the third party controller was fine. I was going to buy a new controller with the disc, but since the third party controller was fine, I spent the money on reserving Star Wars: Galaxies and Knight of the Old Republic.

I got home with the bonus disc and started playing Master Quest. As I was playing, Link would go a little to the right whenever I hit one of the other directions (still using the third-party controller). I switched to the first-party controller, hoping it would be fine. It was constantly moving to the right. I decided to just use the third-party controller.

I had to reset the controller a few times but otherwise it was fine, until now. Just now, the controller became unplayable again. Resetting would not help. The first-party controller also didn;t work.

I have NO idea what is wrong. I though it might be the controller port, instead of the controller, but why would then why ould the first and third party controllers work differently?
