Looks like these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K23LKK4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I put them on my PS4 controller (because the stock sticks started disentigrating almost immediately). They're really great, I recommend them.

Metal Thumbsticks. Bro.... just buy these. Dead easy to replace and they're a million times better than the originals. I've replaced the thumbsticks on all 3 of my controllers and it's the best.

My Controllers Sorry for the poor quality photo

yup

I've heard of people that replaced the sticks completely with something metal/aluminum.

Check [these] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K23LKK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_DAv9BbBK244R3) out, high grade aluminum sticks specifically made to be rabbit resistant.

No, i ordered them from amazon, here's the link.

This be the ones

I don't have this problem and I already made a complete rerun of Portal 2 (only single-player campaign) and Mirror's Edge and played many other frustrating games (e.g., Super Meat Boy) using my DualShock 4. I also completed Prototype using it and it still looks brand new. I don't know, maybe I was lucky and my controller is good enough or maybe I just trim my nails properly.

Anyway, I ordered metal replacement parts in case anything bad happens http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MGY0B52/ (you may want to try these instead http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K23LKK4/ ).

I highly recomend these guys as replacements. I swapped out mine months ago and never looked back.

Depending on the aluminum amazon sticks, they all look similar but seem different in person, these work when testing

That one. Mind you, if you want to use it aswell, you have to grind and sand the hole around it so it fits. Also something to thicken the rod on the analog so that the thumbstick would be sturdy.. I used just some regular tape to thicken it.. It's really ghetto, but if something sounds stupid, yet it works, it ain't stupid..

I went through 3 replacements of my left stick before finally buying [machined aluminum sticks](

I love the weighty feel to them and the ridges and I have been using them for months and they feel exactly the same as day one. I would definitely recommend these before trying to put new stock sticks back in.

I haven't had any controllers completely break on me (bought two on day 1 release and one additional controller a few months later), but I have had to take them apart several times to clean them. The only adjustment I have done is replace the stock thumb grips with metal thumb grips (link). I usually try to clean the connectors and buttons with alcohol once or twice a year. I would also suggest replacing/upgrading the battery and possibly buying new springs for L2/R2.
