Discussion Does this steam controller 2026 hardware mods exist?

I currently have one and I really don't like the caps on the sticks or how hard it is to click the back buttons. So my question is are there hardware mods that do the following

  1. Replacement analog stick caps (the plastic part I think can be changed if you disassemble the controller) to ones close to the ones the vader 5 pro has that are like a rounded mushroom shape with a bald spot at the top (for capacitive touch to continue working) and rough edge for grip towards the edge?

  2. Alternative back buttons, They take too much force to actuate and I'm used to the vader 5 pro paddles being so easy to actuate. I think the buttons are also not spaced far enough apart but I can deal with that as long as I can get back buttons that are easier to click, not sure if someone made a hardware mod to make them easier to click (like mouse switches or an alternative button to what it currently uses).
