Unpopular opinion: sanding thumbsticks is better than buying new ones
Everyone always says to just buy new thumbsticks when they get worn down, but I tried sanding mine with 220 grit sandpaper and honestly it worked great. My left stick on my Xbox controller was all smooth and slippery after 8 months of heavy use, no grip left at all. Spent 5 minutes giving it a light sanding and now it feels like new, way better than spending $15 on replacement sticks. I did have to clean off the dust really well with alcohol afterwards though. Anyone else try this or am I just cheap?

Yeah sanding plus a little grip tape over the top makes them last even longer too.
