8BitDo Spare Parts

Anyone know a good source for 8bitdo spare parts? (Not the official one as the shipping is US$12)

I need joysticks and L2 & R2.

  • Not the official one as the shipping is US$12

    The last time I purchased spare parts from 8BitDo, the shipping was a flat rate of US$5.99.

    EDIT: Looks like it's not flat rate shipping anymore. Delivery for 1 item is still US$5.99, but 2+ items is US$12.99.

    I remember their Official AliExpress Store also sold spare parts, but doesn't appear to ship to Australia anymore.

    • Yeah I tried Ali and found they don’t ship here.

      I’d be happy enough with $5.99 shipping but more than double for 2+ tiny items is ridiculous.

  • The base of the joysticks look rather familiar to a PS4 or Xbox One's joysticks. At $3 from China, I'd buy a pair just to try it.

    Otherwise, maybe gut a broken controller from Facebook/ ebay?

    • Thanks for the suggestions.

      I’ve seen a few comments elsewhere saying ps4 are close but not close enough so need some modifying.

      Will keep an eye out for a busted one.

      Otherwise, I’ve also read that 8bitdo are pretty good at replacing the joysticks for nothing, because they’re prone to falling apart. Might try that first.
