My PS2 controller is getting old...

Post by Bonevelous »

The left analog stick is worn from overuse in such a way that it gets stuck pointing forward or left (as in there is literally a ring of squashed/missing plastic on it, mostly on the front and the left). There doesn't seem to be anything else wrong with it. Can I repair it, or is it time to get a new controller? Is it possible to replace the analog stick without replacing the controller? :confused

You can't really pick up replacement parts, AFAIK. Time for a new one.

I have a whole box of old PS2 controllers from 9 years ago that for some reason I haven't thrown out. None of my local game shops would accept them, since the PS2 is outdated and some of them are 3rd party brands.

I'll give you the whole load as well as all of my other PS2 accessories if you pay shipping.

I have ps2 joysticks for an actual PS2 and a joystick modeled after the PS2 one for my computer. Great stuff.

Yeah, time to get a new one.

I might be getting one if it isn't too expensive.
