2-Pack Replacement Joystick Analog Thumb Stick Repair Kit for Nintendo Switch / Switch OLED Model / Switch Lite Joy-Con Controller - Drift Fix Tools Y1.5 / +1.5 Screwdriver / Pry Tools

First of all, the included 00 tri wing screwdriver is too sharp, so either file it down to make it a bit more blunt or use a trusted tri wing screwdriver. Although I was careful, one of the screws is stripped and stuck, luckily after installing. It’s closed back up enough but still sticking out a bit. I’m probably gonna need a dab of superglue to get that screw out. The other three screws are in good shape, minor metal scrape, but next time I’m gonna use a better tri wing screwdriver. Now, onto the review I studied up on YouTube on how to replace the joysticks, I highly recommend reading and watching how to do it. It’s not that hard and I’m not a pro, but it’s easy enough once you know which screws to take out and where the ribbon cables are to avoid ripping. However like I mentioned, be very careful with the included tri wing screwdriver! In my excitement I rushed the last screw when putting the joy con back together, and now it’s stuck in place in the middle because the sharp point of the tri wing stripped the screw head. The philips head screwdriver worked fine for the inside of the joycon, but I’d still be careful. Another quick note, the ribbon cable on the stock joystick has a bit of a bend, and to be consistent and make sure everything fits like normal I bent the new joystick’s ribbon cable GENTLY to make the same shape. Overall, the installation was easy and quick since I had the process studied. After installing (and trying to get the stripped screw out in hopes of using one of the supplied replacement screws) I started up my switch and went straight to the controller settings. First I tested the input buttons to make sure every button was working as they should. Next I went into the calibration setting for the joystick. In a perfect world, you shouldn’t need to calibrate new joysticks or even new joycons. However, I’ve seen a few fresh out of the box needing calibration. The one new joystick I installed needed calibration, it didn’t fully reach the edge of the test circle. After the calibration, it works PERFECT. Like I said, in a perfect world you shouldn’t have to check the calibration of new joysticks and joycons, but you do have to. It’s quick, so just do it. So now with the new joystick working smoothly let’s talk appearance and feel of these joysticks. The joystick itself is identical in size and appearance, I had them next to each other to visually compare, and pressed them against each other after removing my old joystick to measure. They’re identical, which is great. The new joystick feels good. Compared to the stock joystick it might be just a bit springy, as in releasing the joystick from the edge and back to neutral. Otherwise feels the same and how a joystick should be. It rotated smooth and and just feels good to not have a drifting stick anymore. The joystick button press is also identical. Same click tension and depression. Again, it just feels good that it’s new. I’ve only just installed these so durability is unknown. But given the feel, I think it will last just as long as the stock joystick. I play docked mostly with a pro controller, so my joysticks already lasted this long from when the switch released. But now that I know how to replace the joysticks, I’m confident that stick drifting and faulty joysticks will never be a problem! This two pack of joysticks and tool kit saves a ton of money, and kept my original joycons alive! But don’t forget, the included tri wing screwdriver is too sharp! File it down, use a trusted tri wing screwdriver, or risk stripping a screw! I can’t replace the screw with the supplied replacement screws, if I can’t get it out! Great value and perfect replacement. I highly recommend this product!

So far there good I haven’t had any issues about a month using easy to install they feel good and look good

I bought this because I broke the joystick off of my Nintendo Switch Lite and needed a new one. This worked great! I read all the reviews about the screwdrivers so I bought a seperate pack of specialized screwdrivers, but they were not as good as the ones included in this pack. The new joystick works well, there is no drift.

As soon as I installed these new ones they worked like an absolute charm, I could flick and move the stick without it drifting all the time which improved my gameplay by a lot, though this was at least 5 months ago since I installed them. As shown in the video the left joycon had gotten drift, while the right still remains alright, I did figure that cleaning it with some alcohol works out, but works like a band aid though, and lasts a couple of days. I assumed that eventually they would get drift so yk no big surprise that they didn’t last a full year, I might order these again eventually. Overall I’d say it’s a great replacement, it lasts a good amount and works perfectly! Oh and for the tools, the screw drivers are super faulty, they’re way too sharp and quite literally stripped my screws, the rest of the tools are alright, if I could review them separately I’d say a 3/5.

This is a really nice kit, but it did not work for me. I believe the part blew my mother board altogether and now my precious $150 Zelda controllers are dead. Because of the quality this company provided overall and because I think they are selling legit parts, I would absolutely buy from here again. Just because my kit didn’t work doesn’t mean it won’t work for others. I’m not faulting the company because these things can be fickle and they provided a really nice kit. It included the screw drivers and other parts needed. These are not high end screw drivers, but they are really good for the price point. They work smoothly and they fit the screws precisely. At the end of the day that’s what you want. I actually thought about keeping the kit just for the drivers. I think the value the company is giving is exceptional. It’s a shame it didn’t work for me and it’s a shame I lost my Zelda controllers. The actual install is fairly easy. I have worked on plenty of other electronics and I have been inside switch controllers before. If you have not opened a switch controller before, at least watch a video first. You need to be careful when opening the shell because the wires can break easily. Switch controllers are a much smaller space and board than other electronics. There is no soldering required for this. You just need to carefully open the controller housing and then very carefully disconnect a few wires which are all plug and play. You need to move and disconnect the battery. I actually found this to be the hardest part. I’m not sure what double sided tape brand Nintendo uses in their official products but it grips like a beast. Gentle and careful movements wins the day here. You might want a magnifying glass, a good light, and tweezer. Those things should be laying around the house for most people. It’s easy to break the cables because they are small, so I’d recommend getting some tweezers made for working with circuit boards. You will need to carefully open the clips holding the cables in place. You don’t want to damage the board or break it, so precision and gentle touch is key. Well done on the product and packaging. This shipped very quickly. Things like this happen in the maker space, so I don’t think there is need to destroy a company on reviews or make assumptions that may not be true. I think it was a great product overall. If I had bought this in a batch, I probably would never have noticed or cared because I expect a certain number of parts to be faulty with a batch. In all good measure, I should have order several of these anyways, but I was not thinking about it when I ordered originally. Buyers need to be aware that many electronic parts like this are pulled from devices that are out of commission and repackaged. In fact, many of us will buy old and broken systems for the parts. This happens in any space that uses electronics (appliances, vehicles, computers). I don’t see anything wrong with this approach (its Recycling and that’s a good thing), it does incur certain risk of higher part failure. I personally don’t care if the part is used, as I’m informed when I buy it. With that said - I have opened up other controllers, including official Nintendo and the Chinese made knock offs to compare them to these parts. The parts I got from this company seemed legit and new. I believe they are sending OEM parts or at least higher grade new parts. Because of this, I would buy these again. Because of the quality this company provided overall and because I think they are selling legit parts, I would absolutely buy from here again.

The tools provided to help fix my drift issue worked wonders! I tried all the steps that was instructed by Nintendo to try to fix the controller, but with no avail. And due to my insurance was already up on my Nintendo Switch, I only had a few options. Given that I am a tinkerer, I decided to go this route, and give it a shot. The prying tools helped me pop some of the things that was difficult out, and the tweezers definitely helped keep a good grip on some of the more delicate parts that I needed to remove carefully to replace the joysticks. The part provided is pretty simple to install too, so it definitely was not an issue for me. To others, it is best to do a little bit of research if people are very intimidated by it all, to make sure where to plug where, so that way it works. After resetting the controller to factory default and testing it, it worked out really well! It had a nice click when pressing down, and the thumb grip felt a lot more comfortable than the original sticks somehow. (I can't really explain, but it is really nice!) It definitely fixed my drifting problem with one of my controllers. I have been using that controller for a good month, mainly playing Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. (And I can really get rough with the Joysticks, while playing 8+ hours a day too, so this is a good test). However, the second one that I was given seem to have broken within two weeks. I am quite uncertain on how that happened. It might of been a faulty factory thing, or it was ultimately my fault, since my german shepard ended up laying down on my JoyCon and I didn't know about it. So I can't really fault the company for it breaking, hence my dock on durability. However, I still feel like it deserves a five star regardless, given that it is a very sturdy kit that definitely helped fix my controllers, and I will be buying replacement parts in the near future. It is why I took a good month before writing a review of this product, especially since I wanted to give it a fair trial run. I haven't had any problems yet to this very day, so I can safely say that this is a very affordable purchase.

The 2-Pack Replacement Joystick Analog Thumb Stick Repair Kit for Nintendo Switch is a practical and cost-effective solution for fixing drifting or unresponsive Joy-Con sticks. Installation takes some patience and basic technical skill, but with a good guide, the process is very doable for most users. Once installed, the joysticks feel responsive and accurate. They restore smooth movement and significantly improve gameplay compared to a drifting or worn-out original stick. Calibration was straightforward, and the Switch recognized the new components without any issues.

Okay! So I received this today and was very excited because new joycon controllers retail for $79.99 and I was not feeling that price at all. I pretty much did my morning routines and then got right to replacing the joycon stick. My left joycon was drifting upwards reallllly bad and I had tried re-calibrating it (which is something that you should do before you buy replacement sticks, just in case) but to no avail. I took the controller apart and used one of the replacement sticks and put everything back together again. I started up Animal Crossing and to my disappointment, my controller was drifting downwards this time. I was pretty annoyed because taking apart this controller with all the ribbons that it has is a little daunting and stressful, especially since it was my first time attempting anything like this. I decided to take it apart again and use the second replacement stick that comes in the package. Thankfully, this one worked and had no drift. It performed well with the calibration test and did not drift my Animal Crossing character at all. FINALLY! I really wanted to give this product 5 stars but I'm giving it 4 because one of the replacements did not work and I do still want to give it some time and see if this joycon holds up. It feels a little tighter than my right joycon but not too much of a noticeable difference to throw anyone off. I'm sure with time, it'll loosen up. I read the reviews before purchasing and saw some people had problems with the ribbon on the joycon being too long or not fitting properly and that did not happen for me. Other than one stick not working, I had no issues thus far. The joycon seems exactly the same as the other one and there are no physical differences or differences in texture. Overall, the pros: -Comes with all tools necessary for successful replacement. -Comes with four joystick covers. -Comes with new screws for the outside of the controller. Cons: -One was basically defective. Even though one was not working, I still found it worth it to keep them both instead of going through the process of returning and re-ordering. It would have taken too long for the next set to come in and I play my Switch every day so I would have been really annoyed with the drift. I'm going to tinker with the leftover ones and see if I can clean the inside... plus, I have the tools forever. All in all, I'm satisfied. I saved like $63 bucks so one defective joycon is not a huge deal for me. (Note: When taking controller apart, be careful with your (L) or (R) bumper... it can come out and the spring in there can get lost very easily... nasty little things.)

一回しかドライバーが使えない

The left joycon stick started to drift, I know its a common issue. These small kit came in handy. Doesn't come with overall instructions in the kit but that's okay. Youtube saved the day. Comes with everything you need, easy enough to change it out and now it's working beautifully again.

I was checking the price for a new Joy-Con and it was very expensive and saw this on amazon with a small price tag, so I told myself why not giving this a go. After some youtube video, I fixed the Joy-con! It's no longer drifting! Product is nicely made. It worked just as intended. But I highly recommended to watch a few youtube video first before you attempt fixing your Joy con.

Excelente kit para resolver el problema de un joycon que se mueve solo, acompañado con un video de iFix it y de 15-30 minutos tu problema estará solucionado

Cheap material deteriorated very easily. The drift became worse
