    I have the 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ and almost got one of their Hall effect controllers for my most recent controller (but ended up going with the King Kong 3 Max instead).

    I noticed they have a repair parts section on their shop, but frustratingly, it doesn’t have analog stick replacements - just the joystick caps.

    There’s an iFixit guide to replacing them, but it doesn’t list where you can get the new part, either. I’m guessing they use a standard part - maybe even one you could get for a few bucks off AliExpress - assuming you’re up to the task of desoldering the old stick and resoldering the new one.

      Yeah, I saw their repair part section, they offer very little.

      To make it more annoying, I already repaired that very controller. I had to change the battery because the old one was becoming useless. It was not too easy, since all I could find as a generic part (following a YouTube tutorial) was a slightly bigger battery that was a pain to fit in the case.
