So I'm very large and strong, I think I may be the cause of this. But does anyone know of a strong replacement? I'm capable of installing it myself, but my cursory Google search turned up nil for "strong game sticks"(let the jokes flow)

Just curious if I'm stuck playing d-pad game.

Same thing happened to my 3DS analogue thingy (it's not really a stick), I just use the jaggy plastic bit and stop playing when it hurts my thumb too much!

Haha it's nowhere near as bad as it was playing the original Mario Party on the N64
