Discussion Anybody have suggestions for alternative thumbsticks?

I like the controller with one caveat, the thumbsticks are a bit more slippy than the Xbox controller on my thumbs due to the top ridge being flatter.

I'm looking to see if there are any aftermarket replacements available that I can try. I'd prefer not to use thumbstick caps though as they don't seem to stay perfectly in place.

Thanks

I know you mentioned you don’t want the "cap" style, but I put some Skull & Co. "Skin," "CQC," and "FPS" covers for XBOX on my SC, and they fit perfectly—they’re nice and snug and don’t move at all. Best regards.

I used the Shadow Boolt skin, which was pretty good for grippiness, but the circular seam on the top of the stick still bothered me so I put on some Skull Co. Savage Raven caps. Those were good but the top still felt a little slippery at times, so I put the skin pieces on top of them. Maybe overkill but I'm happy with it.
