I wouldn't consider any of those to be "legitimate" thumbsticks, in the manner that I would a DualShock thumbstick or a Xbox thumbstick. You might be able to consider those "mini" thumbsticks, but they aren't full size thumbsticks ala a DualShock or 360 pad. I would say that to varying degrees, all of those are closer to a "nub" like thumbstick.
