My Xbox one is almost five years old. The controller joystick has problems.

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.

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.
