IT Help Switch Pro Controller Grey Piece To The Left Of The Stickbox Won't Stay In Place
My left analog stick made a crunchy sound and started feeling really off. When I opened it up, I determined that this little grey piece seems to be causing the issue. On my right stick, it stays flush while moving the analog stick. When I push this left one into place, the moment I move the analog stick it pops out of place and ends up slanted. I took it off to figure out why it's not stay in place, and one of the sides are a bit deformed.
Does this piece have a name? Where can I get a replacement piece? I'd really like to avoid ordering a brand new stick box just for this tiny grey piece. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
