The Hanes, thats pretty cool of a mod. Some of those PS2 Thumb sticks have a really nice grips on their stick too. When you were in there, did you see if the actual part was similar to the Xbox/Xbox 360′s? Its always good to know where you can find more parts.

I had a 360 controller that had the thumb sticks chewed off. I took it apart and tried a few different thumb sticks and found that ps2 thumb sticks fit nearly perfect. The controllers plastic housing holes need slightly widened. I used a razor to slowly and evenly scrap the holes bigger and then smoothed it with 1000 grit sandpaper.

Cheers,
