Standard xbox controllers have sticks that are soldered on in about 10 places each side. They are a total pain to replace, and the PCB will fail after 2 or 3 replacements.
At least the switch uses ZIF connectors. They tiny and fiddly, but it's way better than an hour wielding a soldering iron.
Yep. I haven't replaced mine thanks to that and the only thing broken is the little plastic piece that clicks the sticks.
