Here's a selection from AliExpress. If you're not familiar with AliExpress, they're kind of like the Amazon-dot-com in China. I - as well as many members of this forum - have bought from these cats on multiple occasions. For Vita thumbsticks, you can't go wrong.

Someone used JoyCon ones as replacements on a YT video.

Maybe you can upgrade them to TMR ones.

Now that I think about it, it would be a nice experiment to make. Will get it on my to-do list.

Putting a URL for a search term is about as specific as saying "go on site X and find it"

It looks like most, if not all options come with the caveat of having to get more than one per broken stick due to poor QC. Personally I took two of those with circular excursions on them, and both of them drift to a varying degree. Hell, one of them isn't even upright when neutral, but that isn't a huge deal, I guess.

In any case, don't be like me and only get as many as you think you need, because you need to get at least one spare in case you get a dud.
