Review on 🎮 E·Durable 3D Replacement Joystick Analog Thumb Stick for Nintendo Switch Joy-con with Metal Latch - Repair Tool Kits + 4 Thumbstick Caps + Tri-wing/Cross Screws Set by Jay Liu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality replacement. After the replacement, reboot the switch.

I bought two packs because both my left joysticks and my son's left joy-cons drifted a lot. I could send them to Nintendo, but I didn't want to be unable to play until there were controllers. I swapped mine with no problems. I encountered the problem of reconnecting a cable, but it turned out to be my stupidity, because. I tried plugging the cable into the wrong side of the connector (someone has a latch on the side where the cable enters, someone on the other side). Back). Be mindful of which screw goes where AND how your cables are oriented. Once it was back together I tried to use it but the shift that happened was the complete opposite of what the old stick was doing. I decided it was a bad block and wanted to try replacing it with a second floor but left it for a week because I was busy and didn't have time to play. When I checked it a week later I found that the problem still occurs as the stick kept wanting to go down. On a whim, I rebooted the Switch and to my surprise found that the Joy-Con worked fine. I was stupid and forgot that the switch would still be calibrated by a bad stick. I went and replaced my son's cane and tested my theory. Yes I was stupid when I had the new joystick in place, the joycon drifted in the opposite direction of the original joystick until I rebooted. I could probably just recalibrate/reconnect the Joy-Con, but a reboot wouldn't hurt. My replacement has been in place for almost 2 months and everything is great and my son is a little smaller and works great! Heed all other warnings, when disassembling the Joy-Con, being careful with the screws (unscrew and screw back), if your kit doesn't have flat tweezers (these should be, but mine was) then I would find it because I don't want to try messing around with tiny cables without them.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
