Deal4Go Analog Joystick Control Button Rocker Thumbstick replacement for PS Vita 2000 2001 PSV 2000 Slim PCH-2000 (Black)

My Vita 2000 was a used import from Japan with some pretty nasty drift in the left stick. This stick looks and feels just like the OEM right stick with zero drift whatsoever. Installation isnt hard but be careful with ribbon cables.

Got it to replace a pocket droid 2, the stock was crap and easily broken luckily this worked. Had to fit it but definitely better than the original.

The product works

I bought a used Vita slim from my local Gamestop. The thing worked with no problems but someone defiantly had a lot of enjoyment with this Vita, the sticks were visibly worn, the left sticks rubber top was deteriorated and sticky. I found these and thought I dont need to but for the price I’ll replace both. Replacing the sticks wasn’t difficult, the hardest part is putting the ribbon cable for the rear touch screen back in. The stick I put on the right side was acting as if I was holding the stick up and would only let me look at the ground in both games I tested. I put the original back in so I can use my new to me system. I filed for exchange with Amazon no problems there, the replacement came in quickly I swapped it again. With the new stick I could only move the camera left and right, it wouldn’t let me look up or down in both games I tested. I ended up throwing that third stick away and put the original back in and took it as a loss. They do look and feel original but they are missing a stamp on the underside and makes me think they are not Sony made sticks.

Product is as advertised. Works well, fit perfect. Satisfied with my order.
