So you might be wondering what struck me to do this. I was playing some Halo 2 yesterday on Xlink Kai ( a wonderful program in itself) and I kept missing easy headshots. Why was I missing these headshots? Simple, my controller the right thumbstick was smooth, and cupped in. Microsoft wanted a different look to their thumbsticks and they made them cupped with 4 little "nubs" to grab onto. These nubs wear off and you end up with a semi grippy thumbstick. The second you get a little thumb sweat they lose all effectiveness. Therefor I lost the game 48-50 and cursed at the controller and threw it down. By doing so I opened a cabinet and a PS1 controller flew out. It was a message from God, I must use the OG PlayStation thumbstick on my Xbox and be the most 1337 Halo 2 player ever. Ok no not really but it would offer and advantage.
Oh some people think that the cupped thumbstick helps them, if you're one of those people good, you don't have to do this. But for the other 6 billion people on earth follow my instructions.
Things you will need:
drill
5/32 bit
PS1/2 controller please do not ruin a ps3 controller because you're a moron.
Xbox controller
tiny phillips head screwdriver
brain
This is for you cheap people that don't want to spend 4 dollars on "capsticks" or w/e. They're crap anyway :P

Turn over the controller, and with a phillips head screwdriver remove all of the screws in the back of the controller. Take of the back, you don't need it. Now there will be one more little screw holding the thumbsticks in, you should be able to see it, I didn't take a picture of it but if you need help just send me a picture and i'll show you the screw. Once you have them off put both thumbticks somewhere safe and throw away the controller.

2. Lol, never liked iPods. Or Apple in general, as they make un-customizable stuff and make special services for it (like iTunes).
3. If a PS2 controller is too much, you could go for something else.
