CHENLAN 2-Pack Replacement Joystick Button 3D Rocker Analog ThumbStick Replacement for Sony PSV 2000 PS Vita 2000 2001 Black

Arrived from the seller quickly and feels as good as the genuine, hard to tell the difference. I got it for the GPD Win Max as it is uses the same Thumbsticks as the Vita 2000 and works great. HIghly recommend it.

I bought these to replace my left joystick that had terrible drift on it and while I had it opened replaced the right one as well since it already came in a pair. Firstly, I don't recommend using the tools it comes with, I felt like the screw driver was going to strip my screws. The plastic prying dorito thing is okay though. I use an iFixIt kit to open up all of my electronics. It's a perfect fit and feels exactly like the original ones. I put on the paw covers by pressing down and twisting them at the same time, they're a bit finnicky to get on. I really like them because they provide a little bit of a larger area for my thumbs to sit on and with my larger hands makes it more comfortable to use them. Overall really happy.

These are, without a doubt, the best replacement Vita 2000 sticks I have found. I've tried several other replacement sticks that match the style of the original sticks, but those have been rather cheap. These are 1:1 with the originals. The rubber center has the exact same feel, the shiny plastic edge is identical to the original, and they function flawlessly. I'm rather tempted to buy several more pairs to have on hand, as it's only going to get harder to find good quality sticks as time goes on

Im only giving these 4 stars because thw texture on the pad isnt the same. The OEM thumb pads are grippy and made from rubber. These thumb pads are made from plastic and are VERY slippery.(see picture. OEM are out of the device and the these are installed in the system) Apart from that, they were easy to install, the kit worked well and as of now i dont have to recalibrate or change anything. Ill update this if there are any issues.

So these worked well for a couple weeks. I basically kept it on my desk tinkering with it here and there. Then one of the sticks started drifting HARD. I'm just outside of the return window and I cant find a way to contact the seller for a replacement so here I am. That and I don't believe I got the replacement screws, I didn't need them. But including anyway because that may be important to someone else.
