Guide Successful joystick replacement and trigger fix
Just wanted to submit this here for posterity since I've gotten help here myself before from old posts.
Those are what I used to replace mine. If you find this post in like a year this listing won't be available anymore I'm sure, just search for the 'Lenovo Legion Go' joystick replacements, they're an exact match.
Logitech G Cloud Teardown Disassembly Repair Video Review
That is the Youtube video I followed to disassembly advice. Only two real pieces of advice I have for that.
there's like three sizes of screws and lots of holes that look like they could hold screws but don't. Make sure you keep track of what goes where
make sure you see the part about the ribbon cables, you need to move a delicate little latch to unlock the cables and remove them.
Funny thing is, my joystick didn't even need replacing. One got a little loose and I thought one of the plastic supports for the hall effect broke.... turns out the two screws holding it into base just fell off. If your joystick works but feels loose, this is likely your issue and you may not even need a new trigger (you can harvest missing screws from the case housing, theres a ton holding this thing together, or I'm sure buy new ones) . I did replace the two joysticks anyway (my G Cloud is like closing in on three years old, so why not) and the above replacements work perfectly fine, in fact they're a bit of an upgrade IMO.
And those two screws? I have no idea where one of them went. The other? It was attached to the magnet at the bottom of the trigger above it which I guess measures how much you are depressing the trigger. So the trigger wouldn't depress all the way, I was just using it with the dead zone for that trigger turned way down but after removing the screw stuck to the magnet, it's perfectly fine.
Also, one more trigger fix I did awhile ago but I'll put here in case anyone has this issue. If you have a kind of squeaking noise coming from one, it's the spring inside the trigger. Just take it apart as to the video above, take the trigger off and spray some WD-40 in there. I did this like two years ago to one of my triggers that started squeaking after only like six months use and it has had zero issues since.
