My original Steam Controller is still kicking, but the thumb stick pad has eroded away. Really want to replace the stick if I can ๐
You can pop off the joystick after opening up the controller and replace it with either the 8bitdo joystick or steam deck joystick. Whatever is cheapest. This video shows shows the process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH8CmCkltzY
Ooh! Thank you, friend! Think Iโll take a crack at this soon then!
Finally got around to doing the replacement and it fit great. I just had to clip the wire that's intended to be used for the capacitive stick function on the Deck before popping it on.
I decided to get myself some extremerate thumbsticks myself to give it a try.
