[@StabStabStabStabby]

Shoulder buttons seem very weakly designed in the joycons.

[@trainingtheworld5093]

I agree! The button should be held separately in the frame and connected to the board with wires. That would give some shock resistance and increase the longevity of the controller.

[@zero_gravity5861]

They probably didn’t worry about it judging by the quality of the triggers on the pro controller, it’s just a reason to upgrade. The buttons are different too, they’ve been using the same buttons since at least the DS.

[@zero_gravity5861]

TRAINing the world And it would be WAY easier to reinstall when switching shells.

[@Rappoltt]

There are plenty of other buttons that have thicker metal clasps that also have wings that solder into through-hole points on the board. Considering the fact the buttons are surrounded by naked PCB or ground-plane, Nintendo absolutely should have used those types of buttons instead. In many cases, the stronger buttons cost exactly the same, just are a different SKU. They're saving less than a tenth of a cent in solder and tooling per Joycon. The GBA SP had the reinforced buttons I just mentioned. No excuse.

[@SteelOfLegend]

I have a feeling that they are from absorbing an impact of a sort. Either that or they just need to find a better way to mount them it.

Legendary I'm sure he's not rubbing his joy-cons in dirt, and I don't even know how dirt gets inside the analog stick.

On the first controller with the broken R button; 1: What did you use to remove the motherboard paint? 2: How did solder soooo precisely on the "jumper"? Also, do you apply flux directly to your iron?

[@Icefumy]

He used pretty standard stuff to do that. 1: Likely some tweezers or dental cleaning thing, the paint (called soldermask, btw) is really thin. 2: fine tipped soldering iron. also some steady hands helps. And if you apply flux straight onto your iron, it'll just evaporate right off. Hence why you always apply to the solder pads.

Bumpers and analog sticks seem to be the universally most fragile parts of all controllers, Switch, Xbox, PSN, all of em. The buttons themselves almost never have issues, but the bumpers and sticks are always breaking! You think someone wouldve figured out a way to make them sturdier by now!

[@rac1equalsbestgame853]

I have *3* PS3 controllers laying around my house. The OG one *ocasionaly* drifts and of the other 2, one probably has drift on *BOTH* sticks and the other has constant drift on the left stick and if you press on the other one hard enough it will also drift. Needless to say, I played with a PS4 controller for about a week that had the left bumper stick if you pressed on it "hard" enough, thankfully that one went away after a clean. I do use the OG for Sonic Unleashed for the extra sensitivity and the drifting rarely happens and I usually get rid of it by pressing in the stick harder than normal then releasing it as hard as possible.

I really liked the short part in the end where you showed how the joystick worked

[@jonathanlitz2018]

I fixed my left joy-con that the stick makes my game characters move without me touching the stick so replaced it works good and I disconnected the battery for safety

[@kmac2739]

"The Problem is knowing what the problem is" that makes me laugh.

[@Kazuto_Wildcat]

I have a problem with my right joy-con. I bought some joy-con custom cases for them and after I switched the cases the left joy-con worked fine but the right one doesnt. When its attached to the switch it tells me that the right joy-con is not charged but at the same time it doesnt want to charge the joy-con. I opened up the joy-con again and tested the battery on the other joy-con and it works totally fine so I assume that the connection between the battery and the connectors is disabled and I dont know how I managed to do that XD The connectors on the switch are working ive tested it with some other joy-cons so yeah idk if I will be able to fix it because I dont have this device where you can check the parts for any shorts etc.

know nothing about electronic but it is so satisfaying to watch you fixing things. great content (y)

I Don’t Know Why I’m Addicted To This Channel.... It’s SOO Good And Interesting. Maybe It’s Because I’m Not Mechanically Inclined So It’s Cool Too See The Insides Of These Things.

Was just watching my mate vince when I saw this notification pop up. Sorry vince... this video sounds too good to wait 😂

[@Tronicsfix]

Ha, ha...nice

[@jiohya]

I would actually pay you to fix my three broken joy cons, ones not really broken, but the “-“ button doesn’t work properly and the other one had these papers sticking out and doesn’t click on and the last one the analog stick doesn’t press down

[@TheGamingComputerBomb]

Do you mean 18 pairs of joycons or 18 individual joycons?

[@axcernity]

The things you do is exactly what i like. I have taken apart about 20 different types of controllers. Ps4. Ps3. Xbox 360. Xbox 1. Nintendo Switch. And many more cool things. Even computers.

[@glitcherlisk5608]

Your an inspiration. I have learned so much watching your vids. Keep it up brother.

_Joycon with a broken battery owner_ "Well guess they're useless now" Me: Wtf...

[@Larry37M]

Seems like a lot of work for each one to make just 10 or 15 bucks a piece. I can't stop watching it though cause I know if I tried any of this I would screw it up so bad and I love seeing stuff get taken apart and fixed like this.

Love your channel man ! Great stuff ! 👍🏼

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it.

That electric precision screwdriver would be so helpful. I broke my right wrist a few years back and even since then that repetitive motion of using a screw driver destroys my wrist.

[@Tronicsfix]

It's amazing!

[@ALink2Zelda]

Thanks God mine is always going to the right in botw so need to fix been waiting for this

[@ToddPocock]

I like your channel I just subbed. For us techies who are interested in this type of work is there a good beginner set of tech repair tools you would recommend?

[@Tronicsfix]

Welcome to my channel! I recommend ifixit tools for that. There's a set in my Amazon affiliate shop: www.amazon.com/shop/tronicsfix

[@felipne87r2]

@@Tronicsfix can I ask you something? What was that kind of paste you used to solder?

[@galaxygoat6663]

Out of curiosity, could we send a joycon to you to be fixed if the analog stick drifts. If so, how much would it cost.

[@fang8459]

In some countries, like germany, you can send them in to nintendo and they fix them for free, as well as paying for shipping.

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

@@fang8459 yes i believe they have that in US too but it takes a looooong time.

[@fang8459]

@@Lemonade_Stand_ Oh really? For me it took maybe a week, and they were really nice. The little mechanism where you have to normally press in to get the joy con away from the console was broken on my joycon, and when I sent it in for the drift issue, they fixed the other thing free of charge as well. :)

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

[@idgam3r418]

I don't know why, bbut to see a guy fixing electronics is a form of ASMR for me, I have had many instances of watching this dude repair things while i was laying in bed, then falling asleep midway through the video, so for me these videos have an ASMR effect on me.

[@JohnGaming97]

You can say, he had this under control.

[@elmalcolm7183]

Wow! That’s a lot of money for all of them being broken

[@Tronicsfix]

Yep!

Am I the only person triggered by the fact that 2 red joycons aren't a pair but a red and blue are

[@lum1notryc828]

But there a pair of red joycons u can buy....

[@MrPac-ew7pg]

You can buy a pair of two red joycons... what do you mean?

[@jishaboy]

Meliodas I believe to get two red ones one of your options is Mario Red joy cons for about 80 USD
