Join me as I install a pair of metal thumb sticks into my Xbox One S controller. I'd never taken one of these controllers apart before but the sticks were only £3.99 delivered on eBay so I was hoping it would be a worthwhile mod to improve grip and precision, replacing my worn rubber sticks with these aluminium ones. The parts are cheap, but is the job worthwhile?
