Reddit mentions of Bluecell Set of 14 Pcs Game Control/Controller Joystick Pad Cover for Sony Playstation PSV PS Vita

I have a Hori silicon cover and bought some Xbox One thumbsticks off ebay, cut the thumbstick tops off them and glued them to the top of some Bluecell thumbstick covers. The Xbox Thumbstick glued to the Bluecell one will look like this. You're going to want to dremel out a little under the XB1 thumbstick so the plastic Bluecell cover fits more flush in there and doesn't make the joysticks on the vita too tall because otherwise it'll interfere with the d-pad and buttons. Once you're done you snap the new covers on top of the Vita's joysticks and you're done! The end result looks like this.

The total "mod" took me about 15 minutes.

Would taking a 5 minute break every two hours not prevent this issue?

If that's not enough, there are grips you can get for the Vita, and I recently purchased these for my analog sticks. I'm not sure if they would help with grip for sweating, as I don't usually sweat when playing games.

I bought everything off of amazon. as far as i can tell, only the memory card and the screen protector came from japan. However i got everything within a week with standard shipping. here's all the links for

And for the trigger grips: http://www.gamestop.com/ps-vita/accessories/ps-vita-trigger-grip/98483 also if you have the 2000 slim version go to amazon and search for the ps vita 2000 trigger instead.

I have these on mine I feel more comfortable using the thumbsticks now http://www.amazon.com/Bluecell-Control-Controller-Joystick-Playstation-Vita/dp/B00G3TV6Q4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398709666&sr=8-2&keywords=vita+thumb+grips

Have you tested remote play over the internet yet? Some people don't realize the upload speed required. (at least 2mb/s upload is OK, 5mb/s is recommended i guess)

To run you press the down arrow ..

Otherwise - I use mine all the time.. and honestly the only issue is with aiming. The analog sticks are not nearly as good as the dualshock 4. I added a grip to mine shortly after I got it which helps and there are some analog grips you can try that might help.

Also the sound can get out of sync pretty easy..

I don't know about getting the marks out, but you could always invest in some grips to put on the thumbsticks like [these] (http://www.amazon.com/Bluecell-Control-Controller-Joystick-Playstation-Vita/dp/B00G3TV6Q4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1414085075&sr=1-1&keywords=bluecell+vita). I use them myself and they're actually pretty nice.

I've been using these for some time now. They don't add a ton of size but give me extra control for sure. I only used the square-ish shaped ones and the ones with the raised/pointed directions. Love em. I have both the silicone and hard plastic variants and find the silicone to give a better grip feel on the thumbs. Was considering the Xbone thumb stick covers, but they wouldn't be compatible with my case and would hinder portability. Hope this helps.

Depends which ones you buy, I guess. There are these ones which are plastic and these ones which are silicone.
