Hard to say. Why don't you open a thread in 3DS hardware and provide pictures?
I've heard some people glued it back on. Maybe TurdPooCharger can help you with that. If using a little (super-)glue I recommend placing the console open with screens facing to the table so that no glue can get inside.

The rubber came off my O3DS circle pad, and I bought a pack of plastic N3DS circle pad covers (Cyber Gadget?). It seems the original circle pad is very slightly larger, so I *replaced* the rubber with it. To avoid glue dripping inside, I attached it with permanent gel glue dots rather than liquid glue. I have another cover from the same pack over my N3DS circle pad for better grip.
My O3DS might be harder to sell now, as the glue dot isn’t pretty, but the circle pad works fine.

Pretty sure it was glued originally, so gluing it should be fine, just don't drip any glue into the gap or the stick will get stuck. Best use thick goopy glue and not the thin runny stuff.
I used elmers stick glue and let it dry before playing. 2 years later no issues. I'd imagine double sided scotch tape would work as well? I wouldn't mess with glue glue though
the cap came off several years ago but it never really bothered me. However you could heat hot glue until it begins melting (not until its very hot) and put it on the circle pad. now if you have the endurance to withstand hot glue, put your thumb on it and press hard and remove any excess. not only does it look cool but it's removable and replaceable. but you could always put it back and it will come off after a while.

I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently. -

It's going alright thanks+1
I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days. -

Maximumbeans:
I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive

@Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.

Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

Man, that's beyond my brain I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1

SylverReZ:
Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

Maximumbeans:
Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha

SylverReZ:
@Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.+1

It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.
