I replaced the caps that were disintegrating from a month or so ago!

For anyone unaware, I asked for help here for a reinforced type joystick for my 3ds. I am like two standard deviations to the right of the bell curve with the strength to match. I figured I get a little too into tough bosses after noticing myself randomly crouching during some sekiro bosses in my deck recently. I’m working on that.

But I got a ten pack of factoryish replacements for like $2 that came in yesterday. They were stupid easy to install after removing the crumbling existing rubber!

I thought about glueing them in, but they seem to be pretty snug right now. Also I got 8 more if one falls off.
I’m not dealing with joycon drift yet, so they will do until I do start experiencing that in which case it will get some hall effect sticks.
And to that one person who told me to clean my shit; IS THIS CLEAN ENOUGH FOR YOU‽(I hope the joking timbre is coming across)
Thanks for the help and ideas everyone!

I’m not that person from before, but that is still pretty dirty. Those shoulder buttons are yellow, the grey plastic seems to be covered in a film of what I assume is oil from a person’s hands, and what are those brown things on the side? I assume clips for some kind of rear protection.
That said, no drift yet is astounding. Even the people I know who baby their electronics experienced drift eventually. When did you get this? Curious if it’s a newer model and they made some changes.
Nintendo didn’t change anything, because JoyCon Drift isn’t real, remember?
About when Metroid dread was a month or two old. It was literally the only reason I bought it. Well dread and in anticipation of prime 4.
