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.
No drift yet, got an original 64gb basic edition. But I also barely use the thing, so that probably contributed to the longevity.
I did swap the SSD basically as soon as I got it, was trivial. Thumb sticks aren’t much harder as they are on daughter boards. Hard to fuck that up.
