Einleitung

If the thumbsticks on your Nvidia Shield Pro Android TV controller are unresponsive or are behaving irregularly, use this guide to replace them. The tools you will need are a T6 Torx screwdriver and a plastic opening tool. The process is simple, but gently remove the thumbstick you intend to replace as to not damage the plastic.

Very good instructions that were very helpful. Do you have recommendations on which thumbsticks are the best since the shield seems to have wider and deeper ones? Thanks again for the guide.

Just wondering where would I be able to buy a thumbstick spare part to replace it.
