I'm looking to replace the worn out joysticks on my controller. Are there any good places to buy analog sticks that don't wear out as fast as the MS ones?

This is what I'm talking about:

I'll consider that if Radioshack doesn't sell them for a good price.

I know they wear out, but it seems like MS brand controllers do it alot faster than others.

im almost 100% sure that radioshack doesnt, but check anyways. sparkfun will most likely be cheaper anyways, buy some spares and sell them on ebay? lol, thats the cheapest ive seen. i sell tactile buttons on ebay because i can buy them for $0.20...

Just so you know, the joysticks are incredibly difficult to replace. I've tried it before and got it finished, but my board didn't work afterwards. Just a warning.

lol, he prob didnt know how to desolder well enough, didnt have flux or solder paste. and that eventually led to overheating the board and frying a lead. i do modded controllers and solder to the board all the time. if u do it right, it will work just fine
