Introduction
If the thumbstick caps on your CRKD NEO S CK24NS controller are unresponsive or not functioning properly, use this guide to replace them.
Over time, dirt or sediment can build up under the thumbstick caps, causing them to become unresponsive. Use a cotton swab lightly dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean around the edges and gaps of the thumbstick caps. Let the alcohol evaporate naturally before testing the thumbstick caps again. If they still don’t function, follow this guide to disassemble your controller and replace the faulty thumbstick caps with new ones.
Ensure the controller is powered off and disconnected from any power source before beginning the repair.
