Best xbox 360 thumb grips according to redditors

I would highly recommend some analog stick covers. I found that mine wore down to the plastic on two of my controllers.

Something like this for triggers or this for joysticks maybe?

No experience with anything but the stock controllers of ps4 and the pro, but here are my two cents:

1.

This is what I used to combat the stick degradation problem that the OG controller have (has been fixed but now I'm used to them).

These are what I would replace my triggers with if they ever started getting effed up, although it was most frequently just the spring that was messed up so you may be able to find just those cheaper. For the break down of controller video I used:

Once I opened up one I felt much more confident with repairs since it really is pretty simple even for me (I'm the guy that looks up what solder is when someone recommends it) and if you have a few controllers that are busted it makes it pretty easy to find a test subject. The main reccomendation I have is to make sure you mess with the touchpad ribbon as little as possible as it is the thing that I usually have to mess with most to get it back into position and fully functioning (although still like a 10 minute job overall).

Many common problems with controllers can be fixed, however a couple I can think of that can't be fixed (without more know how than a simple replacement part and a break down video) are when the buttons stop responding at all (assuming it isnt just a dirty connection that you can wipe off) and the more common problem is when the stick gets out of whack (picture in an FPS your trying to sprint but for no reason you will drop out of it). Those problems seem to be get a new controller territory.

4.

The reason I've needed to fix/ work on the controllers comes largely down to the fact my PS4 was the hall PS4 in college so with that reputation comes many overeager shitheads. The best way to keep controller from busting is trying to stay relaxed while playing (tough to control obviously), although YMMV since I see that you are a 6'7" carpenter (opposite of me) haha.

Edit: If you have any other questions there are probably better equipped people but I can try to answer since I've done a fair bit of research into it, just shoot me a message.

use the thumb grip covers http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-ProGamer-Analog-Thumb-Grips/dp/B00552Q7ZK

At my job, we sell these. They work really well but for the best results you should glue them on and keep pressure on them until completely try.

Get a set of Kontrol Freeks and make your R stick longer. Made a world of difference for me.

They work by making you move the stick father for the same amount of input that you would use for a short stick. Make it longer, you have to push it farther to get the same result. This slows down your input greatly, by 40ish%.

You will have to turn the sensitivity up to fully utilized the KontrolFreeks.

This will help you, I use them all the time https://www.amazon.com/GelTabz-Performance-Thumb-Grips-Xbox-One/dp/B00GOOSV70

Picked up a set of these locally...

Unfortunately now the lid doesn't close all the way. I may pursue ebay for parts at some point, but they fetch a premium. I also my try the caps you linked as well.

You should try a thumbstick extender if you're having this much difficulty making small aiming adjustments. They're like $6 on Amazon.
