My thumb stick on my 3ds is disintegrating, and my switch is starting to follow. Please help.
(lemmy.today)
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.
Switch stick in question.

This stick doesn't look that bad, if it's still working well you can probably scrape that plastic on the side and put a stick cap on top. Otherwise, I'd recommend going for hall-effect sticks if you're looking to replace it. They're higher quality and last longer than normal sticks.
As an aside, your Switch would REALLY benefit from being cleaned with some compressed air, that D-pad looks rough. All that gunk will get stuck at the bottom eventually which would make it feel very sticky. Same for all that dust under your stick.
