Joycon Joystick Replacement 2 Pack, Replacement Joy-stick Analog Thumb Stick for Switch Joycon Controller & Switch Lite, Left/Right Analog Joystick with Thumbstick Grips & Screws (2pcs Black)

UPDATE Several hundreds of hours later of playing Splatoon, BoTW, and Animal Crossing, the Joycon joystick replacements are still working great. We haven't had any drift issues since, so still quite happy with the purchase! I love my Nintendo Switch, but boy, are their controllers prone to drift. I’ve sent my Joy Cons to Nintendo directly for fixing once and was disappointed to find the drift issue come back about a year later. Because my options were limited to “buy new OEM controllers for $80” (if in stock), “buy knockoff”, or “try fixing myself”, I opted for trying to fix my two controllers myself because I was likely to throw out the controllers anyways and I had nothing to lose. The Starko Joystick Replacement Joysticks was the solution to my “Link walking off a cliff” problem. The kit comes with just the joysticks you'd need to replace on your joycons. You will need to get a small Phillips head screwdriver, a Tri-Wing screwdriver, and a pair of angled tweezers to easily replace the joysticks. Also missing are instructions and skill, but because the interior of the Joy Cons vary, you’re better off looking at online videos anyways. As for skill, you will need a steady hand and I will warn you - if you can’t thread a needle with a thread without flipping out, you may just want to pay someone else to do this for you. It took less than 10 minutes to change out a single joystick, and after reconnecting to the Switch and calibrating, it worked great. The joysticks feel exactly like the OEM controllers and move smoothly without any lag or weird movement. For less than $5 a joystick, this was an absolute steal in comparison to buying a new controller. Overall, if you are done raging over your gaming losses and have a steady hand, the Starko joysticks are worth installing.

Product works as described. Pretty easy job to swap, no stick drift issues and the quality feels like OEM.

Great replacement product. Saved me a bunch of money in joycons and works well. Play often with these replacement parts. I would buy again and recommend to others to use these replacements.

Replaced bad 2 bad sticks and now works great

Let us get straight to the point: They work. They will fix your drift issue. The install took me 20 stress-riddled minutes. If you play too much Animal Crossing, this is the product your Amazon search was made for! The bad? The instructions are bad. They simply give you 4 pictures and brief descriptions. When it says, "remove old joycon module," they don't mention the gymnastics you have to do with tweezers to carefully unplug multiple ribbons from the motherboard. There is a lot they don't tell you. You need specialized tools, which I had to buy in another listing. You definitely will want a tiny pair of tweezers. Plugging in the ribbons of the new unit was very hard. Not impossible, just frustrating. There are a lot of hidden screws you need to remove that the instructions don't bother mentioning. And one of the hardest parts for me was getting the case apart after taking the screws apart. You have to really pry it open. After the job was done, the controller worked great. I felt like a genius. I was worried it doesn't work. In conclusion? Great product. Poor instructions. If you have zero comfort this kind of stuff, it might be a bit much for you, but it's doable. Buy a Switch toolkit, b/c normal screwdrivers can't be used.

These thumbstick replacements are a near match for the originals. It feels like they're a little stiffer (that could just be due to wear on the originals), and the throw distance is a little bit shorter. Neither of these significantly impact gameplay. Note that installation is probably a medium difficulty level for someone that doesn't regularly repair electronics. These replacements do not come with tools so you need to either already have them or buy them separately. Being that I do a lot of console modding and repairs, replacing these was pretty easy, and I'm happy to have fully responsive thumbsticks that support full range of motion. I had done the various "repairs" recommended on the internet fororiginal thumbsticks that are drifting, and I'm frankly amazed at how bad they had gotten, now that I have these to compare them to. I definitely recommend this product.

Great remplacement for my drift sticks.

This was the fix for the broken joysticks in my joycons.

Easy to install. changed out my joycon sticks and now I don't have stick drift. It's great. these are packaged well and I would recommend

Los 6 repuestos funcionaron a la perfección. Basta con re-calibralos una ves conectados al switch y bajar la actualización mas reciente para que funcionen bien. He jugado varios titulos ya en 1 semana y siguen perfectos.

I replaced two sticks about a year and a half ago, one is still going strong the other developed a lot of play and lost it's ability to act as a button when pressed down. That said, the one that failed does get a lot of use/abuse so I'm not too concerned as they are inexpensive. Used the last two and they're working great, going to pick up another 4 pack to have on hand. Didn't use the included screws as mine are still in great shape, recommend picking up some quality drivers and use firm enough pressure to keep them from camming out right as you snug them down. The cable is a little longer than stock but works/fits fine, let it do a gentle bend but don't crease them or they'll snap, sometimes easier to insert and lock the cable before fully seating the stick.

One of the cable ribbons was cut, making it unusable.
