  This stick doesn’t look that bad, if it’s still working well you can probably scrape that plastic on the side and put a stick cap on top. Otherwise, I’d recommend going for hall-effect sticks if you’re looking to replace it. They’re higher quality and last longer than normal sticks.

  As an aside, your Switch would REALLY benefit from being cleaned with some compressed air, that D-pad looks rough. All that gunk will get stuck at the bottom eventually which would make it feel very sticky.
