How to Replace Joycon Joysticks to Fix Drift Issues!
There's more drift in these controllers than a day at the racetrack!
If you own joycons, and you've used them for a fair amount of time, it's likely that you've experienced the dreaded "joycon drift" problem that's plagued so many Switch owners. While Nintendo does (at the time of this video) provide free repairs for drifting joycons, this service is only provided in a few countries. Plus, you may have to wait for an extended amount of time to get them back. Ain't nobody got time for that!
If you have around $15 and 30 or so minutes (less if you're comfortable with small electronic repairs), you can replace your joysticks quick and cheap, and be back to gaming in no time at all!
Follow along as we replace the joysticks in both the left and right joycons, and walk through the steps needed to do so.
Thanks for watching!
