Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace the joystick cover in an ASUS ROG Raikiri Pro controller. If the joystick isn’t responding properly or you're experiencing stick drift, it may be time for a replacement.

A functioning joystick allows you to control movement and actions in games or applications. Over time and with frequent use, the joystick can wear down and lose accuracy or responsiveness.

Before you begin the repair, make sure the controller is powered off and disconnected from the charger.
