Pomeat 6 Pack Black Analog Joystick Stick Cap Cover Button for Sony PSP 1000

I got this psp 1000 cap just for my new 3ds xl as a replacement for my c-stick. I also wanted to test it against the red Lenovo super low profile trackpoint cap because that was regarded as the best. I didnt even go inside of the console, I just ripped the entirety of the c-stick off, leaving nothing behind. You dont have to go through that hassle, and you shouldnt. Despite the psp 1000 cap having a larger surface area, it did not have a great fit, which made it very hard to control. The Red Lenovo Thinkpad cap, on the other hand, fits perfectly right out of the box and is level with the other buttons. This made it extremely responsive and really easy to control, contrary to the psp 1000 cap. My recommendation? Pick up the Thinkpad one, its way better.

I am not using these for a PSP replacement but actually to fix the C stick on my 3DS. Every unit Ive used had the same issue, very unresponsive especially in certain directions. To my surprise the piece underneath the rubber nub does not move at all, but once you put the new cap on it works great. I just ripped off the old one, if you have the triwing screwdriver to remove the back its easy to take it out without damage, though once you put this on youll never go back anyway. There is no worries about there not being enough room for the larger pad since it is stationary and doesnt slide around like the actual PSP analog. Im mainly using it to make Metal Gear 3DS more playable and this definitely did the job. Snaps right on with no trouble, feels good and suggest it for all new 3DS owners.

It goes without saying why youre here. Yes, you can use this as a 3ds mod. You should however try and get some tools and make the grip from a rectangle to a more square shape like the original c-stick, so compare them. Having 6 is overkill but you probably do need 2 or 3 incase you mess up so its fine.

Perfect!

Perfect for modding your new 2ds/3ds c stick

If youre looking to use this to mod your 3DS, buy it. Its a major improvement over the c-stick, well worth the effort. The gameplay (aiming in particular) for shooting games improves 1000 times over.

Perfect fix worked like a charm (:

Can’t beat it for the price. Clips right on in seconds.

It fit perfect for my psp!

Fit perfectly, have a decent grip but not one that hurts the thumb. Not much else to say except its exactly what you need.
