Mcbazel Aluminum Alloy Analog Thumbstick Compatible with Xbox ONE Controller Black (Set of 2)

SOLID ALUMINIUM ALLOY, SO THERE IS NO RUBBER LAYER LEFT TO PEEL: Each of these thumbsticks is made from aluminium alloy instead of the moulded plastic and rubber skin used on the stick you are taking out, so nothing can lift at the edge or wear shiny in the middle. Mcbazel keeps the cap at 2.3 cm across and 1.5 cm tall in a matte black finish, which is why the pad still looks stock once the swap is done. KNURLED RIM YOU CAN FEEL, FLAT TOP THAT STAYS BARE: The outer wall of each cap carries a fine machined knurl that runs right round the disc, and that ridged band is what your thumb pushes against when you swing the stick sideways. The top face is left as bare aluminium alloy with no rubber on it, so coming off a worn grippy cap these thumbsticks read differently for the first hour, and a silicone grip cover can still go over the top if you want a tacky surface. 1:1 SCALE FIT ON THE ORIGINAL ANALOGUE SENSOR: These thumbsticks are cut to the same 2.3 cm diameter and 1.5 cm height as the cap you take off, and they seat on the original analogue sensor that stays in the pad rather than slipping over the stick the way a grip cover does, so the controller keeps its factory stick height and throw. Mcbazel states the fit for original wireless controllers for Xbox Series X, for Series S and for Xbox One in Standard, S and X trims. A MECHANICAL SWAP WITH NO SOLDERING: Fitting these thumbsticks is a parts job rather than an electronics job. You open the controller, lift the worn cap straight off the analogue sensor and press the new one down until it seats, and nothing has to be desoldered or resoldered along the way. The pack holds the 2 aluminium alloy sticks only, with no screwdriver, prising tool or printed instructions inside, so line your own tools up before you start. WHAT THESE THUMBSTICKS DO NOT DO: Swapping the cap renews the surface your thumb rests on and leaves the sensor untouched, so drift, a dead zone or an off-centre rest all sit in the internal analogue module and a cap will not put that right. Both caps are the same 1.5 cm height, so there is no tall-and-short pairing for aiming. The stated fit covers original controllers only, and controllers for Xbox Elite Series 2 carry magnetic snap-on caps that these thumbsticks do not replace.
