So I treat them the same as other analog sticks. There's no way to test it before you buy, so you're essentially saying I have $10-20 to throw away. I like the design, but the overall profile is too big. They stretch because they're made of some sort of silicone, so failure is a matter of time. These wear out pretty quickly. They started to come off the sticks on the second day of use. Another wasted ten dollar bill
