Introduzione
This guide demonstrates how to replace the joystick covers on your GameSir Tarantula Pro controller. The joysticks are used to control movement and navigate on-screen menus, while the joystick covers are the removable caps your thumbs rest on during use.
Joystick issues can develop over time due to normal wear, dust buildup, or oxidation inside the joystick module, which may lead to inaccurate movement or stick drift. For more information, see the GameSir Tarantula Pro Stick Drift troubleshooting page.
If you have difficulty removing the battery in Step 5, use the iFixit adhesive remover to loosen the double-sided tape. Don't bend or puncture the battery as it can cause a fire.
Before beginning the repair, unplug the controller if it is charging or being used in wired mode, then power it off completely.
