Introduction
This guide shows how to remove and replace a worn out thumbgrip on your Meta Quest 2 controller.
The thumbgrip is a rubbery cover and not the actual joystick module. If you're experiencing controller drift, follow this guide instead to replace the joystick module.
This guide is written with the right controller. If you're repairing the left controller, you can still use this guide, as the procedure is identical.
What you need
-
-
Use your fingers to slide the battery cover down towards the strap end of the controller.
