I have my own wii u gamepad that is experiencing some drift issues as well, and also the game pad Y button does not work at all like you can push it and it does nothing.
@@PghGameFix I did end up getting different sticks with slightly better reviews but ive just finished reassembling the gamepad both sticks work great although i only needed to replace the left one. Thanks for the guide it made this whole process a lot quicker hope you have a good one man 😃👍
I've already done this repair on my gamepad and there was no change to the drift. The ghost input is incredibly dramatic. I can't even play games with other controllers without first resetting the neutral points on the gamepad with a+b+select+start everytime I want to play. Is there any other reason the left stick would be drifting like that? Anything else I can try? Really appreciate it
I've never gotten a bad replacement stick... but you may have. Unfortunately, if it's off by a significant amount, I would get a new stick from a different vendor.
@@PghGameFix but the drift is still very significant, and typically in the same direction on reboot. I felt like there was no change after the swap. The gamepad is completely unusable. Is there really no chance of another cause. I would just hate to repeat the repair and have the issue persist. (Also it's a wind waker gamepad so I can't really replace it either unfortunately)
@@danielhoughton8293 The replacement stick is cheap, and not that hard to install. To my knowledge, there isn't anything else you can do to force a calibration.
Very straightforward. The left joystick on mine is drifting in certain games,I think I'll try replacing it soon.
Its an easy swap... just make sure to get joysticks with the little cables.
Ty for the tutorial, I'm a little scared to play with that really thin speaker clamp thing, but I'm going to be brave. Good tutorial.
Saved Christmas for me this year!
glad the video helped.
This was helpful. But you skipped the hardest part… the ear ribbon with the lift up flap…. No clue if I got it in there right…
Well.. did ya?
I really appreciate the tutorial, thanks

Theres a few bad reviews on the stick modules from the description im currently a bit skeptical on buying those
The vid is a couple years old at this point. The quality could have changed.

I just changed one stick of my ps5, will those sticks would work for Wii u? (De soldering and soldering back)
Honestly... I haven't tried. If the spacing on the pins is the same... it will probably work.
I only have battery screw
What size was the triwing?
