Introduction

Replacing the right joystick for the Logitech G Cloud is difficult and can be accomplished in seven steps. You will need a wedge tool, Phillips #00 screwdriver, and a spudger. Carefully read the instructions before starting to disassemble the Logitech G Cloud. You may hear loud popping noises when you remove the interior plating. Once the screws are removed, the joystick should be simple to pop out.
