In this video I demonstrate how to replace a broken/non-working joystick on both the left and right Joy-Cons. This includes disassembly and assembly of the Joy-Con controller. Later I show how to calibrate them using the software on the Nintendo Switch Console.
Replacing your analog stick will fix and repair many joystick issues and problems including but not limited to: stick drift, creeping, stuttering, blind spots, dead zones, no click, worn thumbstick, non-centered, broken, and loose joysticks.
