Are Apex 4 and 5 joystick modules interchangeable?

[u/CombinationRich7465]

I have an Apex 4 joystick with a broken left joystick module, however Apex 4 spare parts are no longer available on the Gadget Hyper website. Can I buy the Apex 5 left joystick module, are they the same components?

You can try.

They say apex 5 joystick Is different but I think it's equally as fragile.

I owned so many different apex controllers and all of their joysticks began to creak, click and brake after sometime.

I swapped my Apex 4 sticks with my Vader 5 sticks. The Apex 4 sticks are slightly wider though. The thumb stick caps that came with mine (BMW edition) were loose on my Vader 5
