Join the WhatsApp Channel for exclusive updates and BTS stuff.. it's FREE! https://kiphak.es/whatsapp The Nintendo Switch Joy Con controllers are renowned for drifting, whereby the controller has a mind of it's own, and gets seemingly 'stuck' moving. Nintendo will repair this under warranty, however for older units, you're a bit out of luck. You can buy replacements cheaply, and it's not a tricky job to do.. however, quite often the replacements will fail too.. And that's what has happened to me. However, Zedlabz are selling an upgraded replacement that uses Hall Effect Sensors to hopefully stop the drift for GOOD! In this video I show you how easy they are to fit, and anyone can do it, with a few simple tools.. This is the product from ZedLabz - https://www.zedlabz.com/products/hall-effect-analog-joystick-module-for-nintendo-switch-joy-con-controller-switch-lite-hall-sensor-upgrade-mod-2-pack-black-zedlabz As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
