I have experience. You can find any small replacement parts on Aliexpress for cheap. You need a little bit of patience for shipping. It may be shipped from a place you never heard of.

I placed the order on July 25. Today, I received the package.

The right one is the original rubber pad. It is broken.

My controller is transparent.
I almost forgot it. The wires that connect the shaking motors to the main board were separated when I cleaned them. So I hand-weld them. I do have some welding skills for electrical components.

Now. I put them all together and connected the Xbox 360 Controller to my computer. It works like a new one.

This Xbox 360 Wired Controller uses a normal USB port. So I can use it on my PC, Windows 11.

The rubber is broken and peeled off. I tried to get a rubber cover, but it is not working. It is very loose.

Until now, I bought Xbox One Controller Joystick Replacement. It cost me US$9.99 with a whole bunch of tools, six thumbsticks, and Analog Thumb Sticks Parts.

Have a look at the joystick replacement.

I believe it is the best way to fix the broken rubber Xbox Controller. Much better than getting a new one for more than $60.

How to Replace the Joystick?

Step 1, I follow the ifixit guide to remove the cover plate to expose the screws.

Step 2, Remove all 5 screws.

The screwdriver in this picture is in the package.

Be noticed that one screw is inside of the batter container, under the label.

Step 3, Lift the front cover off of the controller.

Step 4, Pull the joysticks off the controller, and put a new one on it.

Step 5, put everything back.

It looks very cool when playing the game at a dark room.

The thing makes me happy is that it can works perfect on Windows 10 and Linux. It has the standard USB connector.

I use it on my Lakka project.
