It really works lol, first try and everythings fine! Thanks a lot
Epic. 💯👍🏻
Honestly Nintendo probably uses these weird screws to discourage people from opening their things up
I disagree
How so?
That`s exactly why they use them. Which is messed up being that most of us will need to fix our joycons at some point.
Yup, that's why once you get the case open it's all Phillips screws
thats why they sell nintendo repair kits
Great video. Unlocking the ribbon connector is the only thing that isn't straight forward and you described it perfectly. Thanks!
Ribbon cables are the devil. The locks are the downfall of many. Happy to help!
This was exactly what I needed. I watched 3 other videos that skipped over disconnecting the ribbon cable, which is arguably the most difficult part to figure out! Didn’t realize there was a lock I needed to lift first, then everything worked like a charm!
I despise those little locks!! Happy to help. 👍🏻👍🏻
this was exactly the walkthrough i needed, especially seeing as my issue was with the right joycon, thanks so much!
Yeeeeeees. Love it! Very welcome. 👍🏻👍🏻
Why is it always the right one that breaks first?
Saaaame. Just did mine. Boom!
Why is it always the right one😂
Saaaaaame just finished fixing mine! Video helped a lot seeing how it was the right one! 😄
My joy con looked exactly liked the one in the video. Every other repair video either time lapsed or skipped important parts. This is the best repair video I’ve seen. Thank you, this was a big help.
Thank you, I hate that stuff, I like to see every detail when I watch, so that's what I show! 👍🏼✌🏼
Good and easy to follow, you helped me to fix my controller. THANK YOU!!!
Especially that you did om the right Joy con, almost every other video is in the left.
Awesome. Happy to help! Hit that Sub ✌🏻
I did 3 without any instruction or video.. worked fine. Wanted to watch a video to see if there was anything I'd missed or could do better. This is a good video, and the procedure really is pretty easy. Way better than buying new joycons.
These things are way to expensive. Gotta fix them. Nice work 👍🏻👍🏻💯
Great video, didnt really need it after i popped the shell open but was nice to have the video to make sure i did it correctly, took me less than 5 mins to replace everything. Thanks to you my son is happy that his controller is like new.
This walkthrough was awesome, I’ve never done any type of repair on my controllers but you’re great man thank you so much
Sweet. Take pride in your work! 👍🏻👍🏻
I don't have a drift yet, but I am preparing. This video goes into my emergency list, as well as the links you provided. THANK YOU. If I ever get a drift and try this, I will come back and edit this comment. Luv u
Love you too! I await....
Your one of the lucky ones, after about 2 months of me having my switch the drifting started and I’m gonna ask my dad if we can buy this kit to fix all four of my joycons
@@Mr.Bravo6157 not worth it it started to Drift again and again
@@ditto_arts 100% worth it. Works perfectly. I have yet to have one re-drift.
I was about to buy a new Joy-Con Controller that would cost me £60 a pair, but after watch your video I bought a pair of Analog Sensor Rocker Stick Replacement on Amazon that cost £9. I followed your video and I easily replaced it . Thank you so much.
Hey Gregg, thanks for this - really helped with my confidence when it came to taking my left joy-con apart. Managed to replace the analog stick and I no longer have any drifting issues.
Hey Tom! Epic. Love it. Thanks for taking the time to comment! Hit the Sub 4 me. Happy to help. Game on! 👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻
Awesome! Just the video I was looking for. Can't wait to order my kit and give it a try. Thank you!
Good walkthrough - I could have sworn I hadn't pushed the ribbon far enough in - but after 10 minutes of fiddling, just put it back together and found out it was good to go
I felt the same. It feels like it's got another millimetre to go, but it's in and working.
@@ign1fy Giggidy
Thank you for this, I followed you and changed the stick with no problem, calibration is a MUST.
Yes sir. Must Calibrate
Thanks for the guide! I actually found this visual, uncut guide more helpful to replace the stick by myself than some other videos, not dismissing anything just preference, also the guidance was very helpful for not messing the fragile ribbon cables
Half an hour IRL counting pauses and I’m up and running! Thanks again!
Words can not explain how grateful I am for you and this video!!! I would have never been able to do this without you. Joycon drift solved at a fraction of the price it wouldve been to get new ones. I did my first joycon in an hour and the second one in a whopping 5 minutes!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Epic. Love this!! Proud of you. More $$ for new games. 😂🤣😛
Thank you for making this video I watched it the day I ordered my analog stick when it came I had my joycon fixed within an hour and it worked i was extra careful with the ribbon cables and the screws and with just being careful and taking my time and making sure I had everything where it was supposed to be i managed to fix my analog stick and now I can get back to playing whatever I wanted without any issues
Super. Love hearing this! Your welcome. Get your game on! Drop in on a live stream sometime and say hi
the non stock analogs are they still working without drift ?
Thank you! I tried to use the way overcomplicated iFixit tutorial, which lost me at "disconnect the battery". Yours was very simple, easy to follow, and effective. Everything works great! Great job explaining, kudos!
Thanks bro, all I needed to do was take off the battery, plug the orange strings and put the battery back on. Thank you!
Epic. Thrilled to help, brother
How easy was it to plug the orange strings, I have to do it but not sure if I can.
So useful and well explained! I could get my joycon working again!!!
THUMBS UP FOR YOU MATE!!
Thank you really helpful! Some screws in my joycon had slightly different layout but it wasn't hard to figure out the 3 I needed in order to remove the middle layer, I think it depends on how old the joycon is or where it was produced. Also one of the "ribbon-shaped" wire (i don't know how are they called) was on top of the screw that was holding the actual analog, so i removed it first to avoid ruining it. Just be careful guys, the trigger buttons may detach and you will find yourself searching for the small spring, don't loose it!
The Left and Right controller screw location are different internally. I was expecting a mirror image at least.
Thanks for helping me switch it out, easy to follow video and now my son's Joycon doesn't spin in circles. Also used your Amazon link to buy a stand for the Switch. Thanks again!
Epic! So happy to hear. And THANK YOU for using the link. Use it everytime you use Amazon! :)
Great video, I've had drift occur on a joycon I already had repaired by nintendo so I'm giving this a go using your video. Annoys me what nintendo charge for a new joycon given how badly designed they are. Love my switch but hate joycon drift.
I legit wouldn't have been able to do this without you, thank you!
Welcome! Awesome to hear. Game on!
Thanks for the vid, used a similar kit and refraining from disconnecting the battery or any ribbon cables besides the joystick's is really the way to go
This was perfect. Thank you so much. Worked perfectly. FYI to all the ribbon cable doesn’t insert very much.
awesome, and yes, less than 1mm!
Thank you so much for this video! Your instructions are easy to follow and the visual makes it even easier.
Thank you! I was able to fix a Joycon with these instructions.
Excellent video, and I succeeded in fixing the controller. Now I have a couple of very happy kids. Thank you!
OMG, Epic!! Thank you for telling me!
I K uhh how do you fix a slide bar so you can play handheld mode and charge the two controllers
4:24 - "I'm being real gentle" - damn, dude, I'm scared how you act when you're rough
Well, I AM a professional Wrestler. Lol. This is my Gentle. :P
@@PLAYwithGregg with that kind of tweezers, and acting in the way you do, it's quite easy to pierce the coating of the battery, which would lead to a combustion.. Consider to use plastic helpers without sharp edges (like credit card), please. Stay safe.
I use these tools, because they are the ones that come in the Kit that I’m demonstrating. I did puncture an Iphone battery once. Smoked! lol
thank you for this tutorial, helped me out greatly and switching out the analog stick was a success! :)

i changed the left one but found out it was the right one. thanks buddy for sharing your experience
Welcome! I guess your doing both now. 😜
Thanks so much my dude for doing this! Literally just finished fixing my right joycon, had fixed my left one before but the right had some different parts to it. Your video helped me so much not only to fix my controller but save money as well! Thank you so much!!! 😆😆😆😎😎😎
Great video man, easily followed, easily repaired though I did break the locking mechanism on accident.
thanks dude. scared when I saw the back and it didnt match what I saw in another video, but I found your video and was able to do the rest.
Awesome. Happy to help!
Today i did the joycons fix using your video guide. Excellent tutorial step by step. Greetings from South America
Awesome! Hellooooo from East Coast, USA! :)
Thank you so much, I was easily able to fix my right joy con drift!! 😄 you’ve earned my sub!!!
Epic. Game on, brother!
I asked for a repair set for santa and got one. Figured I might be able to repair my joycons myself. Thanks to your vid, I was easily able to. :) Thanks a lot!
Awesome. Happy to help! GAME ON
Great video. Thanks. One interesting point is I had two screws on the plastic battery housing under where the battery sits. Looks like your version had them on the outermost part of the housing. My red/blue joy cons were purchased shortly after switch launch. I must have an old version. Also had a really thin ribbon going straight over joystick screw. Was able to remove and attach the screw without removing the thin ribbon but definitely a delicate process.
Interesting, mine are launch Joy-Cons, but this one, I got broken from EBAY, and may actually be a later revision. I didn't think of this at the time of the video. I maye have to open a few more!
So much easier than left. Thank you I just changed both sticks with your help
Definitely. It's weird how similar, yet different, they are.
Awesome Video I just bought a double kit. You were the only one that shows fixing the right Joy con I was told the right ones are complicated because of the red camera on the bottom but you made it look easy like the left Joy con. I'll update you when I attempt mine
Peice of cake. Be slow and gentle. Report back!
Great video, thanks.
Thanks a lot, dude. Have my Joy-Con good as new, thanks to you!
Welcome buddy!
Thanks for the video! Super helpful and I was able to repair my controller!
Thank you! I just got the same kit off ebay and replaced the stick successfully. It was 100 times easier than the same operation on an XBox one (which was soldered in 10 places). ZIF connectors FTW!
Heck yes. I HATE soldering!!
Thx man. I’m new to switch but am anticipating this eventuality.
None of my 6 Joycons have ever had a problem. I truly believe people abuse them
Good video. Your Joycon was a bit different than the one I was fixing but it helped me. I did not know how the little clips works for the wires. Thank you
Happy to help. The L&R Joy-cons are similar but different. There have been some minor revisions, but mostly the same. I have video for both L & R. ✌🏻
Did anybody elses remote have drifting but before this video knew nothing about drifting? Thanks for this video and link! Now i can actually play palladins!!!!
meee,im ordering some joytick replacements rn
Good Luck!
Great video - huge help! I'd no idea it was going to be so complicated with the layers of parts! I changed the left one too - its a little different in layout but the idea was the same. cheers!
Yea, it's a bit of a mess inside them. I've got a LEFT Video on here also!! nice work. #Gameon
Your video has been very helpful! we will be getting the TECKMAN Nintendo Switch Tri wing Screwdriver to help us with the little tiny screws.
Awesome. Thanks so much! Happy to help. Please use my Amazon link. :)
@@PLAYwithGregg i wil!
Another fixed joycon here. Using your guide I was able to replace both left and right joycons. Thanks for the guide!
Epic!! Game on, brother! Use my Amazon link when shopping. :)
Thank you! This helped so so much!
Thanks for the video man, just replaced my drifting analog stick and it works perfect!
Thanks for this! I was trying to clean my A button but other videos wouldn't even show how to open the right joycon at all and i got scared when I opened and saw it was not the same ToT this video made me feel a lot better!
Awesome. Love it. Happy to help!
just bought the kit and was hoping to see a video like this. thanks for the help!
Your welcome. Keep in mind, I have ANOTHER video of the Right Joycon, incase you need a second look at anything.
Thank you so much! I just completed this project by following you along :)
Thank you very much, you have no idea how nervous I was while watching your video and fixing my joycon lmao
Nervous but exciting! Nice work
Awesome video, i can´t belive it was such a simple solution, was afraid to open the joycon frankly, but after this tutorial i did it and worked great.
Thanks. Now it works like a charm!
Thanks Chief! 1 fixed controller later I am a very happy man
Tysm for the vid, the joycon was the left side for me and the general layout of the screws was different because i have one of the first german consoles, but the vid was still a lifesaver. Ty!
Hi Jack! I have a 1st Gen Left Side JoyCon video as well!! Nice job 👍🏻✌🏻
Thanks for this video, it helped me so much! My little brother is so happy with my repair
Thanks man, just rescued a blue joy con like yours!
Awesome. Looks so nice.
Why is it alway the blue one? Mine and my friends only have drift on the blue joy cons.
Thanks for the video. It helped me a lot. One thing I'd like to add (if it hasn't already) is do anything in your power to keep the ribbon cable to the left of the analog stick seated in place! Mine came out and it was really irritating getting it back in. Theres a screw post right next to it which makes it tough. This is a super easy repair if you can prevent that from happening.
Thank you for posting this! This is what I needed.
You're so welcome!
Thanks so much for going through the re assembling.
My pleasure!
thanks so much i was about to go buy some new controllers but thankfully i saw your video. thanks for the kit and the steps!
Epic
Thank you! Video was very helpful and now my right Joy-Con works perfectly! :)
Epic! Love it. Please use my links when shopping and hit the sub.✌🏻
Thanks, now I can enjoy my switch instead of fighting against the analog stick.
Also the tiny pieces inside my R button microswitch fell off, but not the microswitch itself. So I spent 30 minutes carefully putting them back in order and the R button works.
Just what I needed, thank you a lot!
This guy is definitely five star professional
Lifesaver man, what a cheap fix, thanks indefinitely
This video really help 🙏🏻 thank you 👍🏻
Thanks, used this video to guide me to replace the stick in my Niece's sons controller :) Less than £4 for a new stick and I already had all the tools. You've helped make a little lad happy :)
Epic! That makes my day
Thanks for the tutorial! Big help!
Thanks I just replaced the used joystick and it works amazing
Thanks for this great video. All fixed.
Awesome, your welcome. Please sub, and use my affiliate links, in description. #GAMEON! :)
Great video!!! Just made my son very happy. Thank you. And I didn’t mess anything up....that makes me feel like a proud mama :)
This made my day!! Your welcome 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥳
Thanks so much for this video man🙏🏼👊🏽 really helped me out a lot👍🏼
You welcome! Thanks for stopping by. :)
Thank you. This helped a lot.
tysm !!! i fixed my left joycon, so it was a bit different, but your video saved my switch!
Awesome, you're welcome! Next time, keep in mind, I have TWO videos for Left Joycon repair :)
Thank you so much. I only spend 15$ than buying a new controller. You are a life savior.
sarcasm_bro Epic. #Winning
I just fixed my left joycon. I was hesitant about opening up my right one but after watching the video I think I’m able to do it
I have a video here for Left also.

PLAYwithGregg thanks I’ll watch it when I try to fix my niece’s controller next.
Thanks for the video it really helped. I used this video to fix my left Joy-Con and it pretty much works the same with one notable difference. When you get to the step around 7:20 to remove the 2 screws from the old joy stick, I found that there was another ribbon (that connects to the "-" button) that gets in the way of one of the screws holding the joystick. I didn't have to remove the ribbon and opted to loosen the screw at it's source instead and moved it slightly out of the way.
Worked like a charm and the joystick works great so far. Thanks again Gregg.
Happy to help brother! Also, keep in mind, I have a LEFT Joy-Con repair video as well. Stay cool, game on! :)
You saved me with this video!!
Thank you so much :D
Awesome. Welcome! 🔥🔥
Very good video thanks for posting it,it really helped thanks
thank you fixed both left and right at same time 8) while using this video!
Excellent tutorial video, I managed to fix my sons joycon controller with relative ease. Thank you sir.
Epic. #Hero. Happy to help!!
Great video. Super helpful. Well done sir!
Thanks so much!
The ribbon cable connector was what I struggled to work out. Should have watched this video b4 . Explained well.
thanks for posting this! just had to do this on a splatoon green joycon
Epic. Love Splatoon
This video was a lifesaver. Many thanks!
Epic! :)
Great video. Helped a ton. Thanks homie
My pleasure, brother!
