If anyone cares, I managed to fix it. The lower component is a 32 ohm resistor. I just searched old junk PCBs and took one that fits. The upper component is a diode and this one is not critical.
Also there was a broken trace, so I soldered a jumper wire from the button switch to the 32 ohm resistor and everything was working ok then. I skipped replacing the diode because it’s too much trouble in that awkward spot with the broken trace. No clue what the diode is there for.
Desoldering that joystick module was a PITA because the PCB somehow eats up a lot of heat. Much more annoying to work on than the previous controllers! Now all is good :-)
