Did search on lazada and shopee multiple times for replacement of rubber for my model but to no avail.
I live in Philippines and seems like finding replacement for my controller model is hard :(
The problem is that rubber inside got torn and one button particularly a button feels mushy...
The only replacement rubbers that pops up always is ps4's and xbox's
Do I have no choice but to buy a new controller?
Or could I like, glue the rubber?

Thanks in advance for those who will respond if possible I don't really want to buy a new one yet. This controller is in it's 3rd year of lifespan

3rd year: Probably time to start thinking about a new controller anyway. Especially if the current controller has been heavily used.

Plus you may get that mushy button fixed and then another button starts failing.

Look/ask around - maybe you can find another identical/used controller and salvage the rubber and other parts from it.

Gluing not likely to work. The glue would adhere, harden, and probably prevent any flexing at all. Or just all melt together into some gooey mess.
