    Hey guys,

    I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this question in this section but I'm doing it because it seems to be the most relevant section.

    So, throughout NHL 15-17 I've been using then default PS4 controllers and they've been getting pretty worn out until eventually both analog sticks got torn due to me playing a lot. (Pics below)

    Sony doesn't sell any authentic replacement joysticks and you have to buy them off 3rd party sellers from China and after doing some research and reading reviews on Amazon they seem to be like trash and nothing like the regular PS4 controller ones. I'm not really down to spend $70+ CAD on a new controller since I know that I can buy authentic thumbgrip replacements somewhere.

    If someone else has experienced this and found a good place to buy replacements that are similar to the regular ones or one that's good for NHL please PM me or comment it below because i've been looking for a while now :( .

    Thanks!

    Just get warranty on your controllers and give it a good wack against your wall

    Best Buy replacement plan. When your controllers look like AIDS, you take them back and get new ones. $5.

    I don't have warranty anymore :( Can I just bring it in and ask them to replace it?

    I've had my ps4 for like two and a half years and my controller that came with it is still fine. I know that doesn't help you whatsoever but I just feel like that's an accomplishment everyone should hear about

    I bet your controller under a black light looks a lot like a cheap hotel room.

    Ps4 controllers have a lifetime warranty send them back one at a time. About a 14 day turn around. They will send you back brand new controllers for the cost of shipping.

    I'm just confused how one can even make the touchpad dirty. Wtf do you even use it for? Those are some crusty ass controllers.

    Invest in paper towels man. Or something. This is unacceptable.
