Timorn 3DS Circle Pad Replacement for 3DS XL/2DS/New 3DS/3DSLL (Dark Gray)

I was initially skeptical to buy these as many others mentioned they were smaller than the original. However, once I had the new analog sticks in hand (it came with two) I was immediately relieved. It has a rubbery but slightly smoother texture than the OEM analog sticks. Regarding the size, it is barely smaller which still allows it to function identically to the original. Another worry I had when I initially bought these sourced from another review saying that they used isopropyl alcohol to clean them and they immediately deteriorated. I can safely report that this is not the case as I tried cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip. It cleaned and dried as expected. I'd imagine that if you rubbed hard enough that it would damage the stick but I assume that gentle cleaning wouldn't. I'd highly recommend getting these and finding a video on how to replace it on your device. Using these on a 2DS system was a pretty simple process.

good quality and worked well for og 3ds

They work well if you need to replace the 3DS thumbstick. They don't have that authetic feel, but break in over time to where it's hard to tell

Keep in mind that you won't be able to just snap these in like Lego pieces and it requires some confidence in tiny screwdrivers and tiny screws (along with a little bit of awareness of what not to touch electronically lol). However, don't let that discourage you. This is a pretty easy install. There are videos online on how to do it on YouTube. My Nintendo 3DS XL and a log stick broke very early on and they did not sell these type of replacements or at least not so easily available to me. At one point I had literally glued on a penny to use as the cap of the thumbstick and then some mismatched rubber circle as well. This is about 8 years of playing like this, and I finally bought the replacement now because I wanted to display it alongside my other handheld consoles. Now I just want to play it again lol. I like that it comes with two of these and I can't really complain. Honestly. Seems like a direct replacement and feels right as well.

Installed the product and was glad it worked fine but then I noticed it getting stuck in the left direction and I would have to push hard on the circle pad to get it to move. I ended up uninstalling it and putting the OEM one back in. No issues since then.

The joystick fits and works perfectly. It is very easy to install. The only "issue" I would mention is that the feel is not rubbery but a smooth matte instead. Also, the material looks like it will tend to peel over time. Nevertheless, I would recommend it as a decent replacement.

The quality is questionable, there’s no rubber so that was a surprise. It’s honestly fine but I recommend finding one with rubber

Works great

Purchased to repair my new 3ds xl after the original joystick cap wore out. Matched the dimensions of the original perfectly and the cover material feels even better than the original in my opinion.

Good replacement

J'ai pu réparer ma console en quelques minutes!

My original review disappeared, this was an excellent fit I tried to provide a picture but it wouldnt let me, it wont feel the same but you can hardly tell the difference it was a wonderful replacement to my sisters 3ds which I repaired by myself!!

The images and description are misleading and false advertising. They claim it is rubber but it is just painted plastic, when you look at the underside it does not match the pictures. Don't buy this one, it is the exact same as any 1-2$ sold on here but for 12$ instead. Not worth it, it feels pretty much the same as a 3DS after the rubber peeled off.
