i miss my psx/ps2/xbox modding days so seeing this thread gives me some enjoyment there is someone out there smashing out repairs on stuff 
No but I should at some point! I did start writing a switch guide but got bored.
@Vidar - your pad was up this morning...
New sticks and new buttons... Sticks felt a bit worn so took the liberty of swapping them as well.
Thank you Vince, that's very much appreciated. And, thank you for the detailed pics, its very interesting to see. Is it a difficult process?
Totally depends who you ask and what tools they are using. Took about 20 mins to fix it up in total swapping out the old sticks and buttons and solder new ones up. The elite boards are very thick though so I tend to work fast and hot a lot of the time with them so around 450c to get heat into the board and get things moving.
I did just update and calibrate the pad so swing me your addy and ill get it on its way back.
