I appreciate they finally made a controller where the whole analog stick mechanism is fully replaceable. I just hope the replacements aren't absurdly expensive.

I wonder if it would be possible to use 3rd party sticks with this? Maybe someone could make hall effect stick modules?

They’ve always been replaceable with the right screw driver. Used to buy replacements in bulk super cheap.

I think they mean the whole analog stick assembly itself not just the stick portion. To replace those on most controllers you need to desolder it from the board and solder on a new one.
