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

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.

These replacement joystick analog thumb sticks were exactly what we needed to fix our Nintendo Switch controller. Installation was straightforward, and now the controller works perfectly again—no more drifting or unresponsive movements.Great quality for the price and having two in the pack is a bonus. Definitely recommend if your controller needs a quick and effective repair!

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 reviewI 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!
