Joycon Joystick Replacement 2 Pack, Replacement Joy-stick Analog Thumb Stick for Switch Joycon Controller & Switch Lite, Left/Right Analog Joystick with Thumbstick Caps & 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.

Solid budget fix for Joy-Con drift. This 4-pack is a great value—enough parts to repair multiple controllers or keep backups. The sticks work well once installed and noticeably improve responsiveness and eliminate drift. Installation isn’t “plug-and-play.” It takes patience and a steady hand, especially with the small screws and ribbon cables. My first one took about 45 minutes, but it gets easier after that. A YouTube guide definitely helps. Build quality is decent—not quite the same feel as original Nintendo sticks, but close enough for everyday gaming. And it got rid of the dreaded drift. Pros: great value, fixes drift, includes extras Cons: install can be tricky Overall, worth it if you’re comfortable doing a DIY repair and want to save money.

Replaced bad 2 bad sticks and now works great

6 replacement joycon analogue sticks feel smooth, easy to set up, and great quality for the price. This is the answer to fixing joycon stick drift. It fits both the switch lite and original switch as well as the OLED.

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.

Jaoystii joycon drift replacement worked great for me, first try no issues at all. Been a few months since I replaced the top left joycon in my blue controller (viewing the included images and video), still works flawlessly. I only used one joycon of the four, and did not use any of the screws. For the reviewer that mention the joycon is stiffer I would agree, but I have newer controllers and they are also stiffer, it is due to being new and not used and broken in. Regardless you don’t notice it, it does not affect the movement. As you can see from the images, the tops are identical to my switch, but the bottoms have a different stamp some extra holes and the color of the data cable is different. None of that makes a difference. The drift became so bad playing Tears Of The Kingdom, I decided to try this. I could no longer clean it or add backing to the joycon or bend the back in. With the new joycon I can climb a tree or cliff and no longer walk off when not touching the joycon. For me it works great! Very happy with this cheap but very effective replacement for $13 bucks. Only recommendation I would have for the vendor is a package of two controllers AND the plastic controller housing. I have unscrewed the plastic housing multiple times through the years of cleaning the joycon and adding backing to it, in order to stop the drift, I partially cracked one. Still works fine but one screw does not hold the housing together as tight as the others. Just a suggestion. Great not having drift in the joycon.

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

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.

J'ai commendé ces joysticks de remplacement pour réparer la Nintendo Switch de mon garçon. Une des manettes avait le fameux problème de Joycon drift qui fait en sorte que le joystick restait souvent bloqué dans une possition même lorsque n'y touchions pas. La procédure de remplacement n'est pas trop complexe. Je vous conseille iFixit pour trouver une procédure claire. Assurez-vous également d'avoir les bons outils et de prendre votre temps pour éviter d'endomager d'autres composantes dont les bandes de câbles qui peuvent être très fragiles. Quatre joysticks de remplacement pour 20$ ce n'est vraiment pas cher compte tenu qu'une manette neuve qui se vend souvent en pair peut coûter près de 30 à 40$. Avec ce kit, vous serez en mesure de réparer 4 manettes.
