Hi I’m looking those analog stick but I’m only finding the plastic and they are to big they are called different or something ?

Have you found a replacement yet? I ran into the same problem a couple of months ago, the potenciometers that I ordered did not fit into the motherboard. I even tried some other ones from a generic USB controler to no avail. Manufacturers do not report the sizes of the potenciometers, so it’s a bet everytime. I yet have to find a potentiometer that fits…
