Introduction
Use the guide to replace both or one of your broken or wasted thumbsticks in your Xbox Series X controller.
The thumbsticks are the central part of the controller that allows for most of your in-game movement. A wasted or broken thumbstick could reduce your performance for some of your favorite games.
Before using this guide, make sure to ensure that your thumbsticks are the ones wasted or broken because if it is stick drift, then this is not the correct guide for you to follow.
