Wrong analog sticks? Fixed!

Recently bought this controller (gamestop) but it came with the wrong analog sticks refurbished into it. Went on Amazon, bought the right color, opened’er up and VOÍLA!

This is my second DIY electronics project and let me just say it’s so easy. I only watched a video in the beginning and went and did the rest. I found out they just pop right off and there was no further need of unscrewing screws 💀

💵 Price: $10 overall discounting how much I paid for the controller 😮‍💨

When you receive a controller with wrong analog sticks or refurbished parts that don't match your preferences, the good news is that replacing them is often straightforward. As described in this DIY project, many controllers feature analog sticks that can be popped off easily without unscrewing the entire controller, making replacements quick and hassle-free. Purchasing the correct color or style of analog sticks from trusted sources such as Amazon ensures compatibility and aesthetic satisfaction. Typically, replacement analog sticks cost under $15, making this an affordable repair compared to buying new controllers. Expert tips for successful analog stick replacement: 1.

Align the new analog sticks properly before pressing them down to avoid damage. 4. Test the controller thoroughly after replacement to confirm functionality. Additionally, refurbishing controllers with proper parts can improve gameplay comfort and performance. Many repair enthusiasts recommend this DIY project for beginners since it involves minimal tools and technical skills. Always buy parts from reputable sellers to avoid compatibility issues. By mastering this simple controller modding technique, gamers can save money, personalize their devices, and enjoy a better gaming experience.

Going Analog in 2026
Things I want to do in 2026 to live slower and with less screens- 1. Join a club or small church group - face-to-face conversation and connection feels so lost in the age of social media, and with it, the sense of community. This is my attempt at feeling connected to people instead of screens.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my iPad, kindle, and MacBook just like anyone else. I guess I’m just not impressed by how fast everything moves anymore. I want to live. Slowly. Imperfect. With things I can hold in my hand and memories to last a lifetime. Maybe the real luxury is being present.
