Great option for joystick repair

I was devastated when I broke my joysticks. I was playing on my Switch last night and just put it in my pocket and of course didn't think to close it. The next day I grabbed my suitcase by the handle and it swung open, horribly throwing the counter face to the ground. I didn't think much, just checked the screen to see if it was cracked (fortunately it wasn't). But when I tucked my switch in the dorm common room for some new friends to play Smash Bros, I noticed that my left joystick was broken. The right one followed quickly and I was so disappointed in myself. I thought I would have to buy a new set of joycons! I was so sad that I didn't have that much money, I was a poor college student. But luckily there was a cheaper solution - just buy replacement joysticks. For only $20 and with a really nice little tool kit, I could afford it! It's been about 2 months since I replaced the sticks and the new replacement parts work great! Installation went well, with a tutorial video playing in the background. Actually I was able to make the right joycon without video after making the left one first and I'm not techy in any way. I recommend this brand for joystick replacement. They came in a cute little cardboard box which I still keep my tools in and keep on my desk. Edit: You are not kidding, the day I wrote this review one of my joycons suddenly started to drift heavily. I was a little disappointed that it only lasted two months so I decided to contact the seller. They replied immediately and asked for my shipping address so they could send me another package! Your customer service is amazing, I wish I could give more than 5 stars for that alone. The replacement pack arrived quickly and I can finally fix my joysticks and play with my friends again! So here's a tip: if you play with your joycons a lot, make sure you have spare joycons if you have any. Interruption! They don't seem to have the best durability from Nintendo this time around, so stock up for the inevitable future.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Some issues
