The circle pad is the part of a 3DS that gets touched more than anything else, and the gray rubber cap on top is the first thing to go. It polishes smooth, the rim tears, or it comes off entirely and leaves the bare plastic slider underneath. This is a direct replacement circle pad cap for the 3DS and 2DS family. It presses on by hand, so nothing needs to be opened.
What this fixes
Smooth, shiny circle pad with the grip texture worn off
Torn, split or peeling rubber around the edge
Missing cap with the bare slider showing
Sticky or crumbling rubber on a system that sat in storage
What you get
Sold as a single cap, which covers the circle pad on one system. Dark gray rubberized cap with the dished top that matches the original Nintendo profile.

Common questions
Will this fix a circle pad that drifts or sticks? No. Drift comes from the slider module under the cap. If the cursor moves on its own, you need the full circle pad assembly.
Is this an original Nintendo part? No, it is a third-party replacement made to the original dimensions.
Does it stay on? Yes. It grips the slider by friction the same way the factory cap does.
