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.

I used to have this problem with my ps controllers. I used to replace sticks, until i realized caps were easier. One time, used metal sticks and that was fine too

Edit: looks like switch only sells as a whole unit. Didnt see any third party metal sticks
