General Disassembly Steps (Xbox One/Series X/S, PS4/PS5, NS Pro Controllers)

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure a clean, well-lit area to prevent loss of small components.
2. Remove Battery Cover and Batteries: For wireless controllers, remove the battery cover and any batteries.
3. Locate and Remove Screws: Use the provided T8 screwdriver (for Xbox) or Phillips screwdrivers (for PS4/PS5/NS Pro) to remove the screws securing the controller's casing. Pay attention to any hidden screws, such as those under battery stickers (Xbox) or in specific locations (PS4/PS5).
4. Pry Open Casing: Carefully use the prying tool and triangle opening picks to gently separate the controller's front and back shells. Work slowly to avoid damaging internal components or plastic clips.
5. Disconnect Internal Cables: Once the casing is open, carefully disconnect any ribbon cables or wires connecting the two halves of the controller. Be gentle to prevent tearing.
6. Remove Original Thumbsticks: Once the internal components are accessible, carefully remove the original thumbsticks from their posts.

Installing New Thumbsticks

7. Select New Thumbsticks: Choose the desired height and grip design from your RALAN kit. Ensure you select the correct base type for your controller (Xbox/NS Pro or PS4/PS5).
8. Attach New Thumbsticks: Carefully place the new thumbsticks onto the analog stick posts. They should snap securely into place.
9. Reassemble Controller: Reconnect all internal cables and wires that were disconnected during disassembly. Ensure they are properly seated.
10. Close Casing: Carefully align the front and back shells of the controller and gently press them together until they snap into place.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your RALAN thumbsticks, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the thumbsticks with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring the thumbsticks are completely dry before reattaching to the controller.
• Storage: When not in use, store the thumbsticks and tools in the provided carrying case to prevent loss and damage.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the material and finish of the thumbsticks.
• Gentle Handling: While durable, avoid excessive force when attaching or detaching thumbstick caps to prevent wear on the magnetic connection or plastic components.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your RALAN Interchangeable Thumbsticks, consider the following common solutions:

• Thumbsticks Not Attaching Securely: Ensure you are using the correct base for your controller type (Xbox/NS Pro or PS4/PS5). Verify that the magnetic connection points are clean and free of debris.
• Difficulty Removing/Attaching Caps: Apply gentle, even pressure. Avoid twisting forcefully. If a cap is stuck, ensure no debris is lodged in the connection.
• Controller Malfunction After Installation: Double-check all internal cable connections and screw placements. Ensure no wires are pinched or components are misaligned. Refer to the installation videos for precise steps.
• Reduced Responsiveness: Ensure the thumbsticks are fully seated. If the issue persists, it may indicate a problem with the controller's internal analog stick module, not the thumbstick caps themselves.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact RALAN customer support for further assistance.
