    Default Help! broken XBOX controller

    I have used mine so much that the rubber on the left thumb stick has fallen apart. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix it or should I just junk it?
    Thanks

    Check with your local game shop. There are a few companies out there that make rubber thumbstick "slipcover" caps with gaming graphics on them. They look cool and extend the life of your controller.

    I have some that came in the Playstation (PSX) Arc The Lad box set, but I've seen them seperately too.

    Can you post a picture of it? That would make it easier to say what's appropriate.

    The slip cover is a good idea though!

    Don't junk it, whatever you do.

    You can try www.oldschoolgamer.ca I know he fixes and mods systems so You'll have to ask him if he does controllers. He posts here by the way under the name omnedon. Go to the Restoration Society forum and you'll find him there.
