A user input device is described that includes a ring that is connected to a housing of the user input device and that surrounds an aperture included in the housing from which a user-manipulable portion of a thumbstick extends. The ring serves to prohibit contact between a portion of the thumbstick and an edge of the housing that surrounds the aperture. The ring may be formed from a material that has a relatively low coefficient of friction with a material from which the portion of the thumbstick is formed. In certain embodiments, the ring may be removably connected to the housing of the game controller such that a user can easily disconnect and reconnect the ring to the housing without damaging either the ring or the housing
