Have you tried opening it up? Replacing the controller elements is pretty easy. The board is well laid out and everything is clearly labeled. Even replacing the thumbsticks is a piece of cake.

There are some very fragile ribbon cables in there that need to be disconnected to get to the areas with the controller stuff

It’s still not something most people are comfortable with. I am not a stranger to building PCs, so not talking for myself here. It would be much easier to replace controllers like on Switch or a regular game controller. Also being able to have a different buttons and layout configuration would be really cool for a PC handheld, as the system itself is very flexible.
