Tired of this joystick

[u/Stunning_Serve1268]

It kept slipping my with my clammy fingers so I added duct tape and moved it around to tuck in under the joystick. Genuinely a good fix for people who don’t care enough/ can’t do physical mods. Recommend.

I feel the same way with the 3ds analog slider. Personally cant stand them.

[u/Stunning_Serve1268 → u/Charleaux330]

Not even with the concave shape? I thought those would be at least bit better since they’re rubber

[u/IcyIceGuardian → u/Stunning_Serve1268]

They are though... they're a lot better

PSP < 3DS < PS VITA

[u/TailsFliesHigh → u/Stunning_Serve1268]

Oh? Where can one buy that?

[u/Stunning_Serve1268 → u/TailsFliesHigh]

Its about the 3ds “joystick” not psp

[u/nero40 → u/Charleaux330]

The 3DS analog slider was actually better because it’s rubber and concave. Plastic, convex slider on the PSP are just bad.

[u/NV-Nautilus → u/nero40]

I think some people's thumb texture just isn't compatible with the circle pad, I never had an issue and quite like it. Some of my friends thumbs would slip on it constantly and the backlash eventually breaks it. I must've changed at least 10 circle pads for friends for the cost of parts after Smash 4 came out.

I wish I could have circle pad joycons because joycon sticks produce a slippery powder(?) On my thumb when I use them.

[u/nero40 → u/NV-Nautilus]

The last time I borrowed a friend’s 3DS for several months, the only problem I have was the pad slipping off when I was playing with it (it’s kinda like a feature so you can change it, yeah?). I guess if your hand is too big, even concave ones won’t work.

Uh-oh, slippery powder? Is your Switch thumbstick disintegrating or something? Might be an early warning to get a new thumbstick replacement (or just a thumbstick cover).

[u/NV-Nautilus → u/nero40]

The powder thing happens to me with all joycons regardless of age, I think it's my dry thumb doing the dirty work. I have to wet my thumb or use one of those moisturizing pads for paper handlers lol.

[u/nero40 → u/NV-Nautilus]

Ah, I see. Maybe it is just thumb sweat (and sweat gunk)? I get that a lot when I’m playing the Switch in air-conditioned areas, my hands just sweat a lot in air-conditioned areas.

[u/NV-Nautilus → u/nero40]

It's more likely just skin, my hands don't sweat much while gaming

[u/nero40 → u/NV-Nautilus]

Damn, that’s great. I always hated it when my hands sweat when I’m gaming lol. I have to keep cleaning my controllers and my Switch and other handhelds all the time.

[u/NV-Nautilus → u/nero40]

My controllers are some of the cleanest out of my friends, but I also play a lot less. My palms sweat a bit which can be an issue on more ergonomic controllers like 360 and Xbone, but I mainly use Dualshock controllers so my palms barely touch the sides.

[u/ileojg]

first thing I did to mine was replacing that slippery stick with a psvita one. It was definitely the right choice

[u/Gualuigi → u/ileojg]

Alright, I may have to do this. How'd you do it?

[u/Past_Ad3268 → u/[deleted]]

he said why sadboi

[u/Ucegang_6]

I really wanna do the psvita convert but its complete with the box and everything

[u/Stunning_Serve1268 → u/Ucegang_6]

I would not if I were you. While yes it holds value personally I don’t think it looks as good and it’d probably just be better to get a vita.

[u/Ucegang_6 → u/Stunning_Serve1268]

Yeah family children broke my vita this Christmas there buying a new one tho

[u/Flustro]

I use some rubber Vita thumbstick grips and a bit of glue. I also raise the cap up higher so the rubber grip won't negatively impact movement. It works super well. 🫡

[u/BlackKnightRebel]

Joyless stick

[u/Stunning_Serve1268 → u/[deleted]]

Do not care enough to mod it. Maybe read the description?

[u/BIClighters4lyf → u/Stunning_Serve1268]

That's using description loosely.

[u/Charleaux330]

Mine has always slipped around on my thumb.

[u/cleidophoros]

I lost mine :(

[u/Stunning_Serve1268 → u/cleidophoros]

Your joystick?? Or your psp

[u/cleidophoros → u/Stunning_Serve1268]

The cap bit for the joystick :(

[u/TheJohnler → u/cleidophoros]

Is yours a 1000?

[u/cleidophoros → u/TheJohnler]

Yeah, the fatty.

[u/DirtyMac01 → u/cleidophoros]

Fatty goat

[u/Dubiology → u/DirtyMac01]

Can’t beat that click as you open the UMD slot

[u/watnodude → u/cleidophoros]

There's replacements out there. Ebay had a couple sellers offering them, bet you AliExpress would have them too

[u/watnodude]

I've been hating the joystick lately too. I'm on a 1000 so I'm about to do the vita stick mod since it's so much easier on these ones than on 2k/3k

[u/Ali_KGodz]

The reason I don’t play my psp anymore is because of joystick my hands are big now and that joystick is too small…

[u/vmpfan]

They make thumb sticks for the PSP. That nub comes off pretty easily so it’s designed to be easily replaced without having to take the system apart.
