Joystick Replacement Kit for Oculus Quest 2/3 Controller, Repair Kit for Meta Quest 2/3 Controller, Include 2 Joysticks, T5 Screwdriver, Tweezer, Pry Tool, 4 Thumbstick Grips (Black-11-in one)

Excellent kit to replace the worn out and faulty joysticks on my Oculus 2 controllers. I followed YT tutorials to take apart the left controller and replace the joystick, it worked like a charm and fixed all the drifting problems, so I did the same on the right controller. I tried cleaning the joystick with an electronics cleaner spray, but it only helped a bit and got worse in a week. The steel prybar included was very useful to pry to black cover up without breaking it. I do recommend buying a T4 and T5 mini screwdriver kit, as the bits and holder just weren't long enough or comfortable to grip.

If you’re dealing with stick drift on your Oculus Quest controllers, this joystick replacement is a game changer. Super affordable, only about 20 something bucks and it’ll save you from having to buy a whole new headset. The installation is a bit tricky, and the YouTube tutorials out there are pretty weak—some leave out key steps, so you’ll have to be extra careful. But if you can follow instructions and have a bit of patience, trust me you can handle it. How could I know that you might ask? Easily, because I am the least tech savvy person I know and I managed to pull it off. Youtube is a life saver for stuff like this and once installed, it totally gets rid of that annoying drift. It’s a cheap and effective fix and I highly recommend.

If you have drifting in your controller sticks like I did and can't fix it with compressed air, I just replaced my joystick in the controller and work perfectly. Not to mention a whole lot cheaper than replacing the entire controller. It does take some patience and a little bit if finesse but anyone that's good with mechanical skills can do it. There is a quick video once the controller is disassembled and plenty of YouTube videos on how to disassemble the entire controller.

Joysticks were causing spinning in the games. Ordered this to repair since they are stupid expensive to replace. No instructions in box. Found a YouTube video when I searched for “how to fix oculus joystick” . This will test your patience. A light up magnifying glass is helpful. I can’t begin to explain what a giant pain this process was. I managed to put the first one back together and saw I forgot to reinsert about seven microscopic screws. But it held together so I’m not taking it apart again! Did better remembering everything on the second joystick and it turned out fine too. After nearly three hours of working on these and countless words under my breath, they work! A lesson in patience and I’m proud I stuck with it. Just be prepared to take your precious time, go slow, map out on paper where all the screws go so you can replace them correctly (there are different sized ones) and be careful when disassembling so you don’t crack the plastic or break a part! If these little computer chip plugs inside come loose, use the tweezers to carefully reattach. Try not to have that happen bc that tensions task will really slow you down!

I was very nervous about buying this but at the same time I didn't want to spend $70 on a refurb controller. I strongly recommend anyone wanting to do this and nervous just watch the youtube video by substatica Fix Meta Quest Controller Drift - Replace Meta Quest Thumbstick. He did a fantastic job explaining it. The only spot I had issue with was putting the cable back on in the handle. But that youtube even touches on that and it was smoothing sailing after that. Also I had to use a different screw driver set because 3 screws I couldn't get out. The two at the top and on on the right the screw driver just wasn't fighting well which could be completely user error. Since I had a kit different sizes at home I just used that for the those 3. So again I highly recommend doing this

The product itself isn't bad quality, nothing too special, but it does include tools, though not all of which are useful. The included screwdriver is too bulky to fit in order to unscrew some of the small hidden screws. When you take apart the controller, theres a seal around the face panel of it that is destroyed when the panel is removed and the kit doesn't contain a replacement. Without the seal, the face panel doesn't quite sit right on the controller, making it harder to press the buttons. Also, replacing the joystick requires a full disassembly of the joystick, and it can be really easy to damage the electronics in the process. Another important thing to note is that there is a spring in the controller that connects to the joystick which detects when the joystick is touched, if this spring is bent or damaged in the slightest, this detection will not work at all and the kit also does not include a replacement. So while replacing the joystick will eliminate stick drift, it can cause other problems. Ultimately I think that this kit is okay if you're willing to accept that it may be a bit jank, but if you want to maintain the quality of the original controller, it would be better to replace the controller all together. That however is far more expensive. I would say to replace the controller or bring it to get fixed if possible, especially if you do not want to deal with the sensitive electronics.
