Really impressed with this repair kit. Once replaced, the analog thumb sticks worked absolutely perfectly, and all drift and drag was gone. The feel of the rubber and springiness is indistinguishable from the OEM parts. Now the camera in Zelda doesn't slowly drift across the sky and I can scroll through my inventory, the sticks snap back to center every time, and even a weird issue navigating the Switch system menus with my left Joy-Con was fixed (for some reason I couldn't move all the way down the controller menu with the analog stick and had to use the d-pad or right analog stick to go down the menu; very specific and very weird). Overall this is a terrific bargain. For a great price you get all the tools you need, extra screws, analog stick covers, and 2 replacement sticks that are, in my opinion, virtually identical in feel and function as the OEM parts. It's a little tricky to install, but if you take your time and are gentle you'll be just fine. Tips: Watch a few stick replacement tutorials to make sure you understand exactly where to swing the controller back covers and battery/trigger trays after unscrewing so that you don't yank or crease the ribbon cables. Take your time removing the screws and unlatching ribbon cables (where necessary). The included tweezers were invaluable in gently inserting the ribbon cables back and latching/unlatching them. Neither requires much force, so don't force it. Be careful in removing the batteries, as they may be secured in the battery tray by double-sided tape (my launch Switch Joy-Con have tape, but I've seen videos of newer Joy-Con that don't). Also, the tiny battery plug can be gently pulled straight up to unhook it. It's very obvious how it goes in by lining it up and pressing down. I highly recommend using the included spudger (the green tool with flat edges) to press the plug down evenly. Don't use the tweezer tips as it's rather pointy for pushing the plug down. I used my own Philips mini screwdriver and tri-wing screwdriver which had slightly larger tips than the included tools. I'm glad I did because the included tools seemed a bit too small-tipped and I worried I'd strip screws if I used them. You may be okay as long as you apply gentle pressure as you turn, and don't overtighten as you screw things back together. Before turning screws to tighten them, gently turn them counter-clockwise until you feel a soft "click," then screw in normally. This typically means that the screw threads are lined up better and you'll prevent damaging the screw hole. I only tightened enough to re-seat the screws. Any more and you risk stripping the screw tops and/or overtightening.

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!

Worked perfectly to fix the joystick. Replacement was simple and quick. Took me about 15 minutes. Way cheaper option than buying a new controller.

The Good: I replace my right joystick with this kit. Worked as intended. I recommend watching a video tutorial before you start (there are lots on youtube and the processes is slightly different depending on which model of switch you have). Took my maybe 5 minutes for the whole process and had no issues. Don't forget to calibrate after! The Meh: Someone mentioned in another review that the ribbon cable on the replacement was too long and too thick to fit in the slot. It was thicker than the original but, I didn't have any issue with it being too thick and it slotted in just fine. It was longer than the original but it wasn't an issue and, for the model of joycon I have, it looks like it won't get bent or smashed because there's a piece of plastic to protect it from the battery. I don't know that this difference from the original component is necessarily a sign of poor manufacturing (although not uncommon for these type of replacement parts), might have just been designed for a different model or another application but they work fine for this. (Source: My electrical and computer engineering degree lol.) That being said it is completely possible you might get a bad part (seems to be an issue with the switch joysticks in general otherwise there wouldn't be such a market for replacing them), but like anything else, you should be able to get a refund or replacement. If I haven't updated this review that means that the replacement is still working just fine without significant drift. The Bad: The only thing I didn't like about this product were the screwdrivers. They were fine for a one or two time replacement (especially if you don't have an arsenal of tools available to you), but I would NOT keep them around and use them for other things. They are poor quality and you will likely end up with stripped screws. If you need this type of screwdriver for another application, just buy a better one. They were fine for this application and fine for this kit just don't expect them to last a lifetime.

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.

The new sticks works. I thought they were broken at first then realized I needed to calibrate them. The pinchers included were a little difficult to use because they had so much tension when trying to pinch down on the cable.

I replaced the joystick and I do not have drag anymore !

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.)
