Hardware JoyCon R Button broken (on and off)

[Kuramations]

This is very bizarre.

For some very odd reason, the R button on my right JoyCon works until it doesn't.

As in it goes in intervals. Nothing seems to be really broken. It's that there are times when I click the R button and it doesn't work. And then, after a while, it decides to work again. And then it doesn't. On and off and on and off. Does anyone know the issue?

The button has a lose connection to the pcb it's very common

Is there any way to fix that?

A stupid quick fix of mine is to spray screen cleaner into the leeway of the R button, testing them until it registered fast and then voila. Works well for a couple of weeks at least.

Yea get a replacement switch and solder the new one on

So here's what I did (or at least what happened).

I unscrewed the JoyCon open and looked to see if there was anything wrong. I GUESS I saw some tiny specks of dust here and there, so I did the best to clean everything out. Even when I pressed the R button as it was open, it still read it.
Then I put the thing back together (screwing it all together and whatnot), and for a bit, the button was unresponsive. I did whatever I thought I could to fix the problem.

And then I came to this one weird solution. I deliberately left some screws out of the JoyCon when putting it back together. And the responsiveness absolutely improved. Have no idea what happened, but it worked that way. I have no idea if it works for anyone else who has a similar problem or not, but it worked for me.
