    That brings up my following question.

    If the thumb sticks are capacitive and they wear smooth over time how do you replace them? Are the capacitive sensors under stick caps? Do you just have to replace the rim only?

      Does your capacitive phone screen wear smooth over time?

      (The point being hopefully they’ll be made of something that doesn’t wear down from human fingies)

          I assume the same way the steam deck gets replacement sticks. You’d replace the entire thumb cap and run a wire under and to a specific connector. So its unlikely you’ll get a third party solution with capacitive touch but getting official parts shouldn’t be impossible either, just more tedious.

      I’ve not had any wear like that on my deck, but I’m not crazy hard on controllers. At worse the whole stick can be pretty easily replaced. The repairability on Valve hardware gets a high priority.
