Comprehensive joycon repair kit
Really has everything you need to replace a switch joystick. I got this because my joycon had bad drift and I didn't want to buy a new joycon since it's pretty expensive. This is way cheaper and I can also simply buy new joysticks in the future if I get drift on any of my other controllers since I now have all the appropiate kit. The screwdrivers are all the perfect sizes and I (to my surprise) used the tweezers and other tools too and found it a lot easier with the additional stuff. My joycon now works perfectly without drift and hasn't acted up at all. I'm writing this review after over a month of playing with the repaired joystick and there are no problems.If I had to nitpick, I think it'd be even better with some sort of instruction manual on actually replacing the joystick but there are a ton of youtube videos on it so that's not really a problem, it's not too difficult anyway.In conclusion, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking to replace their joycon and I'm happy with my purchase!¬On a another note, in case anyone has bought this and is replacing their joystick, when you insert the joystick's ribbon cable into the latch bit, the ribbon cable won't lie flat, this is fine so just leave it at that, you can't push the cable in anymore. It's also a bit fiddly to get the ribbon cable into it's place so using the tweezers here helps immensely.

Seems to work so far!
Replaced drifting joycons - plenty of you tube videos to show you how to do the job. Was easy enough. Tools came in handy - magnetic screw driver heads helpful. They seems to work one month on hope they keep going!All In all a cost effective repair - Much cheaper than a replacement set!

Well worth the money!
Brilliant! Bought this to repair my partners switch after the joystick snapped off and couldn’t be happier. Fiddly to install but that’s purely down to the size of the parts and my lack of patience, the ribbon cable for the joystick is a wee bit too long but still works well. Tools are great, nothing beats a magnetised screwdriver for the tiny screws in the motherboard! No doubt they’ll come in handy again at some point. Arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Highly advise watching a YouTube video on how to fix it, got it done in 15 minutes with minimal issues.

Tricky to install, but well worth it.
I had two left hand Joycons with different analogue joystick problems. In one case the joystick had snapped off completely, in the other case the joystick had a bad case of the dreaded 'drift'. New joycons are prohibitively expensive, so my attention was drawn to this solution.There is no guide provided with the kit at all, so you would be on your own were it not for sites like iFixit which have detailed step by step guides to carry out repairs like this. The good news is that this kit really did have all the components needed to swap out the joysticks for the two replacements supplied in the kit.The process was not easy - hence the "easiness" scores provided, but the overall rating reflects my satisfaction with the final results. both joycons are now back up and running without problems.I would not leap to recommend this to someone without some experience of dismantling and repairing modern electronics. The surface mount ribbon cable ZIF sockets are fiddly to work with, and there is a danger, as I experienced of the sprung mounted buttons coming loose and needing to be reattached - once you have found the spring.So in the end - fiddly, but if you are capable of doing the job, this kit has all you will need to effect two repairs.Recommended.

Superb.. my Joy-Con works like brand new again
I'm absolutely delighted with this purchase. I replaced the analogue joystick on my completely unusable blue controller this morning, which had terrible drift, and it is as good as new. I am really pleased. Everything you need is in the kit, plus things I didn't use. Obviously the main thing in the pack is the two replacement joysticks, I used the Y and + screwdrivers, the tweezers and the plastic lever to open up the back once I had the screws out.The other things I found useful was a magnifying glass and a table spot light (although your eyes may be better than mine!). The other thing essential is a YouTube video to play as you go along. I used two different videos so I got a different perspective each time - one of the video guides unplug more things, such as the battery (hich you don't need to do), so just go with the easiest step each time.It is a bit scary at first, but now I have done it once, it is really quite simple and I will be able to do it again easily without the need for a YouTube guide.I really recommend this product. Good luck.

Fixed the dreaded drift!
Left joy con drift was driving us all mad! We tried the compressed air cleaning, re calibrating etc. I soon realised it was the joystick itself.I didn’t have any of the tri headed screw drivers so this kit was what I needed.This kit has everything you need to replace the joystick of either the joycon controllers plus there is another joystick if you should ever need it.There are no instructions but I used a YouTube tutorial which was simple to follow.The screws that you will be taking out are tiny so make sure you use a towel or something on your work top to stop them from disappearing.You don’t need a electrical engineering degree or anything like that for this replacement. I have a very low skill level for DIY and fixing things but I managed just fine.Perfectly working joycon now!Once you have fitted the new joystick, remove all paired controllers from the switch. Then redock the joycon and re calibrate too just to make sure all is good.
