Hi all. I’m sick of replacing my whole controller when the thumbsticks die but it looks like a big job to replace them. Does anyone know of a 3rd party controller under $100 that’s more serviceable? Something where I could replace a bad thumbstick in 5-10 minutes rather than half an hour? The edge looks nice, but is price prohibitive for me. I don’t need all those extra features, just the replaceable thumbsticks.

    Also keep in mind that the dualsense edge thumbstick modules are chronically out of stock, so if you get an edge you might not even get to replace the sticks.

      Yeah the price on amazon is 60 EUR now when you can find them which kinda defeats the whole point anyway. Ideal design would be something where the sticks are mounted on an easily removable daughterboard which you can buy replacements of and just solder new sticks onto and toss the old one, so you don’t have to desolder anything.
