David Steinharter -

Anyone else come here because of a broken thumb sick. It's like hey we know how to swap the attachments how about some info on how to fix it when it breaks ?

Maddison -

This isn’t the controller manual, it’s supposed to be a replacement guide. Is it not obvious that people that come here are looking to actually replace the thumbstick? Did the author just get bored?

Oli Laban -

I think the original author forgot to include the other 9 or so steps lmao

SWC -

Step 2 - Replace each thumbstick by grabbing the knob and pushing down on it

Done.
