Buying replacement wii analog sticks?
Jeff:
You know how after you use a white colored controller for a while that it starts to change color on the thumbsticks because of your gross sweaty hands? That's my problem with a wii nunchuck and a gamecube controller and I'd like to replace them with the sticks that are in the wii classic controllers. Does anyone know of a place that sells them online? Or if some place sells the grey gamecube sticks I'd like to know also.
Blumpkin:
I did a quick search but didn't turn up much. Looks like buying a cheap ass controller for parts, or even full replacement would be cheapest.
But are they that uncleanable? You can't take them apart and soak the plastic parts with soapy water or something, maybe hit them up with a toothbrush or something?

On ebay you can find the gray gamecube stick, but have you try cleaning them with Mr.clean magic eraser?

Yesterday arrived a gamecube controller that I bought so I will try one of my silicone cap that I have on my Playstation controller to see if they fit on gamecube stick, they come in different shapes and colors, for Playstation I use the black ones but for this gamecube controller a will go for a clear one if they fit
For the wii nunchuck it won't fit, I will see if I can find other that fits

I just realized that nunchuck stick and gamecube stick are the same :P, so those silicone caps won't fit
Try cleaning them with Mr.clean magic eraser
