The refurbished NES controller buttons are too stiff. It must be those cheap Chinese replacement parts. I'm gonna return for a refund.  

Darn it.  
The solution for this is murky.
Maybe a good contact cleaning will get your old NES controller back in business?
 

It did. I took apart and cleaned my original controller and it's much more responsive now.
 

Excellent.
No one but gluttons for punishment should use bad, stiff controllers at the contest!
 

What about pad replacement for the A and B buttons? I tried some off eBay and they are mushy as hell. I need that snap back feel, you know when they "click". 
 


Hey skinny, have you played Clu Clu Land? I predict that you will think that this game is torture, lol.
 

Trust me... torture is more enjoyable than Clu Clu Land.
But I will still put an effort at it during the weekend.
 

I usually enjoy puzzle games but this one leaves me cold. I can't get used to the controls. It's really more arcade than puzzle anyway.

If Bea can get 170k in Marble Madness using a keyboard, you can play Twin Cobra.

I still can't believe she did that.

To be fair, I have been playing emulated games using a keyboard since 1997.
So I am pretty used to it now. I even prefer it to a pad in lots of cases.
 
I just tried playing MM with keyboard and I couldn't even beat the second level. I can beat the game every time with a NES pad.

Maybe it depends on what you are used to. Marble Madness is all muscle memory that comes from hours of practice and my hands are trained for a NES controller not a keyboard.

I had wrist pain from literally 5 minutes (a single attempt) of playing on one

 
Keyboard control with the arrow keys actually isn't bad for simple arcade games with simple controls such as Pac-Man, Burger Time and DKjr.
