The switch pro controller's right stick is too short for me. Any ideas?

It's the only controller I have and I want to use it comfortably.

There are a slew of third-party controllers that are far superior to Nintendo's wireless controller. If anything find the right (pun intended) analog grip that elevates the pads surface to a height that's comfortable for your right thumb?

I meant to say grip

I recall they have the same rubber caps as the joycons.
Maybe just order some replacement caps on Amazon.
With some glue you can glue some other materials on top of such replacement caps to make the caps bigger/higher/wider.

If you play with the dock, then you can get a wireless adapter and play with any other controller like PS4 controllers.

You can get extenders that clip onto the stick cap e.g.

Skull & Co:

Kontrol Freek:

Get the aluminum sticks for the Xbox One Elite controller. They're magnetic and come with a few different lengths, and feel premium in the hands. They also stop the dust grinding on the stick itself. The kit was like $20, and takes maybe 10 mins to install.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I thought the Wii U Pro controllers were like the best wireless controllers ever made when you consider comfort and battery life. (around 25 to 30 hours of actual gameplay) I use them on PC and all my consoles with Mayflash Magic. Switch Pros suck in comparison because as mentioned the small sticks. And you get 5 to 8 times as much battery life as the ridiculous Playstation controllers that if you game a lot you'll be charging all the time, and Xbox still to this day is making you use batteries really?

Edit: seems I just read on Series X you can finally plug in a Xbox controller with usb, (I abandoned buying Xbox in the middle of the Xbox One console cycle and only game on PC/Playstation/Switch) but I just prefer the feel of Wii U Pro over it.

Also you can get a perfectly good used Wii U Pro controller on Ebay right now for $25. Many of them are hardly used because everyone hated the Wii U. You would also need a Mayflash Magic which are like $20 on Ebay, I have like 4 of them. Although someone made it where you can use just about any controller on Switch with homebrew so you may not actually need the Mayflash adapter, I'm not sure. Like I have no idea if it's updated for latest Switch firmware or not and I'm not sure if it ever supported the Wii U Pro or not.

For me, the OG Switch Pro Controller is by har the most ergonomic controller for my hands, and the grips are amazing. (Not the shitty ones made by Hori and PowerA) Paired with magnetic aluminum sticks for the Xbox One Elite controller, it's hands-down (pun?) the best controller I own.
