Hardware Fix your joycons for good

[AntonGinov]

Hello everyone!
Just fixed my left joycon drift issues and I was following the bellow video.



The video shows the right joycon and the only difference is on the left joycon you don't have to remove the sensor.
Anyway, to my experience, my joycon was drifting reeeeeaaaal bad and was not fixable with contact cleaner anymore. This method worked for me! So you know, I'm total noob and this is the first time I ever do something like that. It's not so hard to fix it yourself.
You need to have patience and be careful not lose the screws cause it's so tiny and you need to have steady hands. And that is that good luck

P. S sorry for the bad English, not my native language.

I've fixed loads of joycons, some still OK, some not so good but it all comes down to time /patience.
Taking a joycon apart then the stick to some people gives them satisfaction but a new analogue stick doesn't cost much so I feel once I've stripped the joycon down its easier just to stick a new stick in there, most likely going to last longer too?

you shouldn't need to fix the pieces of cheap shit in the first place. if nintendo actually made them properly and not use cheap ass Chinese parts they wouldn't drift. no doubt they are the worst controllers they have made YET

I wonder how the dirt got there in the first place. But yeah, Nintendo, did a terrible job with the joycons. No way I'm gonna buy a new pairs. Too expensive and no guarantee that will not happen again.
