It’s pretty common to hear about people replacing their thumb sticks to avoid drift in the future, but I almost never actually hear about people having drift or other issues with the original OEM thumb sticks (outside of the occasional person who broke their stick by dropping the Deck).

I’m also curious to hear what people’s experience has been with replacing the sticks, both the difficulty of the actual replacement, if there were any issues after, and if they think it was worth it.

It used to, but all the popular replacements are now solder free.

  Awesome! Not that I’m opposed to learning how to solder, but not needing to when my Deck’s sticks start to drift is a relief
