    Ok so my scuf hybrid took a fall the other day and when i tried to use it yesterday, the left thumbstick is fooked . It has a mind of its own, it just sprints without me pressing it in bo2

    So just want to know is it a case of replaceing the thumbstick or could the inside of the controller be damaged, dont want to send it back to scuf as its too much hassle

    If it has a mind of its own - i.e. moving when you're not touching it, then Its probably screwed. could you try and replace the damaged bits from a working controller?

    As far as I know, most of the things scuf do are additions - i.e. the trigger stops, different shaped thumbsticks etc. - you should be able to transfer those over handy enough - you might need a fancy set of screwdrivers to open them though
    or try this

    I think so ha all i did was took it apart and switched the 2 thumbsticks and so far its working away. There was a bit of broken plastic in it but i couldnt see where it came from so just threw it away:)
