Fixing the pad on the controller stick (URGENT)

[TunaAndBacon]

So you may or may not believe this, but I have a controller that was literally crafted by the five gods of Melee, to be the most perfect, most smooth, and most beautiful turquoise controller ever crafted. But unfortunately, this blessing's pad on the main control stick is beginning to come a little loose, and that makes me incredibly scared I might have to scrap this piece of art soon. It feels like whatever makes the pad's sterness got cracked or something, because only the top bends a little bit when i side step or wavedash. How do I fix this pad or get another pad? Because this controller is honestly the best controller I've ever owned for any game console I've ever played.

You could order a new control stick off eBay and replace it yourself? Order a tri-wing screwdriver to open the controller and you're good to go. If you have a spare Wii nunchuck laying around, you can open the nunchuck with a triwing screwdriver, take that control stick, and replace it with your worn out one also.

Sihalanick is right.
Tri-Wing Screwdriver.
New thumbstick.

It will take you 10 minutes.

This wouldn't mess with the quality of its flexibility right? The stick is just way to fluent and smooth to want to give up on.

Paging @ Kadano . Don't do anything until Kadano answers, as he knows a lot about this.

@ Kadano come through

I have ordered a few stick knob replacements (I assume that’s what you refer to as “pad”), but none of them were of the same size and materials as the original ones. When my stick knob gets cracks and the rubber comes off, I replace it with a knob from old controllers with bad stick boxes. I didn’t do this very often so far, though.

There's a good chance you can just take one from another controller, like a new white one, and it will be just as good.

What is this controller you speak of?

Its just a nintendo brand controller but its a limited edition turqoise, (so replacing it would cost me a lot). and yeah the stick nob is a little bendy at the top, it only happens from time to time so I want to fix it before it becomes a huge problem, because this thing is my baby

Nice. You should be fine buying one or taking one from another controller.
