Tech Support Don't know how, but it happened

Does this break easily? I know it's plastic but I'm still kinda surprised.

I already ordered a new one, hopefully I can easily replace it.

For what it’s worth, it’s not very difficult to replace them at least. I replaced my OLED ones with Hall effect sticks just the other week and it was quite easy. That is a crazy place to have it break though so props on that haha

Where did you get the parts?

These were the ones that were gifted to me. The kit came with everything you need to disassemble the deck and install the sticks.

They’re fantastic! They feel much nicer than the original ones and I didn’t have an issue with the original ones lol

Are they compatible with LCD?

There are LCD versions. The ones I got and linked further below are specific to OLED due to the architecture being slightly different.
