I haven't seen the whole video yet but I just wanted to say I have opened the controller up and nothing even physically interferes with the button. It just doesn't work sometimes Edit from December of 2024: I sent it in for repair this past May. It's all good now
You are the only other person I have found with this problem. The button works fine but when I click it nothing registers on the actual screen, software, or game.
Oh wow this actually worked! After months of my L button not working it's actually working now! Thanks! I was so close to actually buying a new left joycon,
So, it's just because of the dust and the only thing I needed to do was just blow and clean the gap with a piece of paper. Thanks a lot for your help, you've just helped my save my money.
Bro thank you so much I left my switch in my closet for a couple months and the R stopped working and I got worried, and bro thanks so much it’s working again and I just didn’t want to resort to taking it apart
im so grateful man,it helped a lot,my L button was stuck for months,when i was playing games i couldn't do some thinds for example building on fortnite fault of that problem,been searching a way but always failed,and today thank to your helpful tutorial it finally works❤,thank you so much and keep up the great content
Thank you kind sir I was worried my spring was broken luckily it wasn’t, kinda weird for me bc I don’t usually eat with my controller but hey, whatever works
Wow... It worked. for now. my R button was only working sometimes. i had to press real hard. i used all the ideas you said cept for dust off. imma give it a while see if it fixes
All day i was worrying "mannn i dont want to buy a new controller" and boom! My savory pop up at the front if my page as i search up a solution to fix my switch without deconstruction it! THANK YOU SO MUCH GHE TOOTHBRUSH METHOD HELPS OUT!
Guys none of this was working to i tried to press the r button a bit harder and it worked a few times. Then i blew as hard as i could around my R button and it statted working normally!
Hey i have a weird problem when i press my R1 button on the pro controller it works as if i've pushed it and the home butten .. any ideas how to fix that ?
A few shots of contact cleaner. Click the button a few times. Let it dry, which happens fast. Profit. My son’s R button was totally dead and now feels brand new.
Please don't blow on electronics. The only thing you're doing is to get moisture in them and risk getting them rusted. Cartridges have a warning for this specifically as well.
Idk if this will work, my problem is My L button cuts off my Nintendo when thats not the power on or off button if u can help me pls because I can't even play with it
I literally tried all these stuff and it barely worked, I tried this and my R button started working again and it's tapping really fast, you are a life saver (I'm not sure if it's long term either though because I just saw this and tried it)
@@BeatboxinCam_YT hell yeah im glad to hear it worked!!! always happy to help for a little bit of a longer term review for bumping it, ive had to keep doing it periodically whenever it gets jammed and the buttons have gotten a bit looser over time (wiggling back and forth when usually theyre intended to just go up and down). they still work and are reasonably responsive most of the time - though sometimes the buttons still jam in the middle of games and its a little annoying to die in the middle of a game because i was busy tapping the switch upside down. however i suspect its putting some pressure on the whole setup that is probably not great for it in the super long term (though i dont know if its the same kind of damage you would get if you just used it a lot over a year-long period). just something to keep in mind!
It still didn't walk. My elbow still isn't working. I tried everything which I tried everything and nothing's working. I think something might be wrong eternally. Yeah, I'm clicking it right now. Nothing sadly. So I think something's wrong. In turn, I'll see if I can get a fixed with all these methods. And if it works, it works if it doesn't then? You're not help but thanks for trying😢😢😢
all this time and all i had to do was blow into it. my right trigger hasn’t been working for almost a year and it immediately started working after i blew into it 🙃

It just won't work holding down and sometimes double presses and won't always register inputs
@@JustWatching4429oh my god, it's the same thing happened to me.. I thought I'm the only one ever dealt with it
Same
@@ShadowTenebris At this point I'd probably have to send it in

Thanks man, i was worried id have to replace my button on the switch lite but decided to try this out first and it now works great.
So, it's just because of the dust and the only thing I needed to do was just blow and clean the gap with a piece of paper. Thanks a lot for your help, you've just helped my save my money.
The toothbrush and blowing worked for me. Thank you!

Thanks now my switch is working god bless you bro

Thanks bro
The paper one worked great!!!
Does anyone have any tips if you press the ZR and it qualifies as the R button? the r button doesn’t work at all.
Have you tried mapping the controller? I think that option is right under the one shown in the video (the one to see if they work properly)
A few good hard blows and it worked!
I fixed my L Joy con with paper and alcohol and it is working normally, thank you very much ❤
I opened it a little(1mm) with a toothpick and blew, it helped. Thanks!
Thank you so much! The toothbrush technique worked perfectly fine for me. I had doubts at first lol
My right red color thing decided to stop. How do I fix it dam it
Wow... It worked. for now. my R button was only working sometimes. i had to press real hard. i used all the ideas you said cept for dust off. imma give it a while see if it fixes
Thanks bro I found out that my l button was not working I almost asked my parents for a new one also I have the same Nintendo fashion
All day i was worrying "mannn i dont want to buy a new controller" and boom! My savory pop up at the front if my page as i search up a solution to fix my switch without deconstruction it!

I love you ❤ Bro please please let me scream. You fixed my switch.
My L button works but when the games tells me to press the L button it doesn't work.
Can you tell me why?
Me too
the card and blowing worked for me, after a week using it am going to update if it was a temporary solution or still working. thanks mate
is deodorant a good enough replacement for dust off? I don't.. have it where im from
Lol no dust off is presurised air
@@TheSupermario1992 bruh is there anything else that is maybe as good as dust off
@@en6478no
Guys none of this was working to i tried to press the r button a bit harder and it worked a few times. Then i blew as hard as i could around my R button and it statted working normally!

Thank u so much it worked for me❤❤
Thank u so munch man I did the Qtip thing and it worked perfectly
wow thanks so much, i just blow the buttons and it works like wonder, you just save me much money!! (which i can use to buy games instead)
Thank you very much! You saved me.
When I hold my R button it thinks I'm spam pressing it really quickly so I can really do much with it.
Hey i have a weird problem when i press my R1 button on the pro controller it works as if i've pushed it and the home butten .. any ideas how to fix that ?
Omg thank YOU so mutch❤❤❤
A few shots of contact cleaner. Click the button a few times. Let it dry, which happens fast. Profit. My son’s R button was totally dead and now feels brand new.
i did not expect this to work at first, but now my r button is working again. thx:D
edit: i used an index card

Works 100% I was so happy when it worked
Thank you so much it helped

WOW
Idk if this will work, my problem is My L button cuts off my Nintendo when thats not the power on or off button if u can help me pls because I can't even play with it
Whenever I press the buttons when I play Mario kart to drift it just goes to the home screen
ty for this video it worked
what worked for me was just bumping the switch upside down. dunno if its a longterm solution but its been a day so far and it hasnt broken again
I literally tried all these stuff and it barely worked, I tried this and my R button started working again and it's tapping really fast, you are a life saver (I'm not sure if it's long term either though because I just saw this and tried it)

@@sewinmusewynn6957 It kinda stopped working now though. So I might just get new joy cons, thanks though!
@@BeatboxinCam_YT DANG that sucks. hope the next ones fare better 🫡
My r button randomly stopped working idk how it did but it just did
My L isn’t working
mine too
Breathe into the sides and then the middle
Same here
@@FuriousFast4Life I did it still doesn’t work
I can't press on the R
Mine just dosent allow me to hold r, very annoying when I play a game that wants me to hold r. Let’s see if this guide works
Thanks ! It worked
Thanks you so much made my day

The thing joystick on the red controller is not pressing i cant press it
My ZL is not working
Mine didn’t work when I got the switch, sadly this didn’t fix it
Helpful fix.
How do I fix a left bumper that keeps turning my switch lite off everytime I press it?
How about home, ABXY button that doesn’t working?
Try simply pushing that part back
Can we use metal for this?
noo you might scratch it badly.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT USE METAL, IT CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY AND COULD SHOCK YOU
@@THY_LEMON_LORD my brother, that is why you t u r n o f f t h e s w i t c h, but no dont use metal, might scratch it and make it worse.
@@Melon_kat1 blarg electricity can still run throughout the switch even when turned off
My R button is just broken so Im assuming I’ll just have to get new ones- 💀
Same
