Gave these a go and its a definite improvement on the short standard stick for direction control.


Designed for xbox so needed to take a tiny bit of material off the bottom to make them compatible with the GPX pad where they snagged on the elevated bit of the housing. Only a few quid and worth a try

I'm looking for a mod for my old gpx, i need move the left stick just to right and left, and not up and down, it would be easier to correct lean angle  :P

You could probably go to 3/4'' elevation without them being uncomfortable - the commercial ones give about 1/2'', anybody else using them fell they would want them a bit longer if possible?


doubledragoncc

Thats what I think too H

I need thumbstick diameters for all the standard types of controller as some seen bigger. I have 2 sizes stock XEON and an old 360 pad I think but really need them all lol
