Is the C stick actually a second analog stick, or is it basically just an 8 way pad with a stick on top?
The c-stick is technically an analog stick. Take apart a Gamecube controller and you'll see that uses potentiometers just like the left stick. It might have a gate on the stick that snaps to certain positions. I seem to remember something like that when I replaced mine.
I like how confidently wrong you are.
Screenshot from a teardown video showing that the C-stick is, in fact, a stick:
"Always has been." Riiiight.
