Follow this guide to replace a broken or drifting right thumbstick (a.k.a. joystick) in your Asus ROG Ally. Since the thumbstick module is not soldered to the board—a win for repair—you can also use this guide to replace the right thumbstick board.
If you're experiencing drift, unusual or unexpected movements, no movement at all, or loose movement, it may be time to replace your right thumbstick.
