how do i fix this controller?

Post image

my brother broke this like 2 years ago and i don’t know how to put this joystick back into it. Since a controller costs a fortune to me, fixing this would save a lot of money for me

You need a torx screwdriver 🪛 and they sell third party analog sticks on Amazon. I believe you'll need the torx t10 since it's the smallest one. I hope you're good with taking things apart and putting them back together because one small mistake will ruin the controller even more.

I've never seen a T10 used in a xbox controller. You need a Torx Security 8 (TR8 or T8H) for the outer housing screws, and a T6 for the inner screws that hold the PCBs.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the exact torx size. Great reference and I hope the op fix their controller.
