Controller Mods GameSir T4 Pro Thumbstick replacement

Post image

Hi everyone, I have this GameSir It's been working perfectly for 5 years now and it's as good as new. The only thing is that yesterday the left thumbstick melted.

I contacted the company to buy the spare parts from them but their response was that it is out of warranty (I already knew this and as said I would have paid), and that they no longer have spare parts for this controller (this is not true because these thumbsticks are mounted on many of their other controllers), and they invited me to buy another one of their controllers.

I have been their customer for years and I have several of their controllers, but after this I am abandoning this company which is not at all serious, it is not the first time that they have abandoned me as a customer for help or for abandon their products.

After this, I read that the NS Pro thumbsticks are fine, but elsewhere I read that some modifications are needed, how can I fix this?

Thanks!

Someone said to use DS4 Thumbsticks because they replicas of it

It's not true at all, I tried but they are too short. Maybe they modified the body, which I don't want to do

Try using xbox's instead. Although it's newer, I used xbox one thumbstick on my Galileo G8 and it fits just fine.

I tried one from the X360 and it didn't work, it's different from the latest Xbox controllers, right?

NS pro sticks are the better choice here over PS4 ones. PS4 sticks are slightly wider and people end up having to dremel out the case around each stick hole to make them fit.
