This proves my point that the analog sticks for the joycon need a new revision. People shouldn't have to be cleaning it everytime dirt gets stuck inside. Anyway, great video!

[@SlaveKnightGael]

I've had my switch for over a year and I've never had so much as a spec of dust get in my Switch. If you're getting dirt in your analog stick, you're the problem. Not the Switch. Idiot.

[@CaptainShenanigans42]

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. I treat my switch very well and my left joy-con started drifting after a little over a year. I think it may be a design flaw due to literally every drifting controller I've seen being the left one.

[@reveredrobin9457]

@@CaptainShenanigans42 I had a switch where the left joycon were sticking after a year too, so i returned it to the store and got a replacement. That was a year ago and I'm just about to return it to the same store before 1 year warranty runs out as its sticking even worse this time around! It's 100% a design flaw. The amount of problems people have had you would have thought they'd have revised the controllers.

[@CaptainShenanigans42]

Robin Drew because I'm curious, have you ever had a right joy-con drift or do you know anyone with a drifting right one? It seems only left joy-cons drift!

[@reveredrobin9457]

@@CaptainShenanigans42 Nope it's always the left joycon from what I've heard and seen. I'm thinking maybe because you use the left stick alot more than the right and people tend to replace them long before the right sticks have had a chance to start drifting? My mrs also had the same problem with her switch within a year too, so I've not had the greatest of experiences with them aha

[@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.

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 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.

[@BizonthePhoenix86]

Small nitpick, when inserting the Joycons, press the button behind the back buttons, this is so it doesn't wear down the rail mechanism, otherwise the tech that goes into the Switch is truly fascinating

[@jeffstiles7850]

This really makes me appreciate the repair guy who fixed my nintendo controller so many years ago.

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

Only thing missing is that joy con drift, the most common problem with joycons, is intermittent (thought the rest of the testing was spot on). Sincerely, someone who has dealt with it and had to replace the thumbsticks

[@PureInsanity]

Sir, you are amazing. It's easy to throw them to the garbage, but fixing them and reselling is how to do it. You have a new subscriber.

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

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

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?

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

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.

I don't know if I have ever told you this, But you have i spired me to fix joy cons and controllers in general. I was able to buy damaged joy cons off of ebay for 20-40 bucks and fix them. I even started my own collection lol, And now I fix joy cons for people. Well, Used to ever since the virus began. But thank you for your inspiration

[@georgemorley1029]

I fixed my left joy con today. The ZL trigger sensor-pad’s metal cradle was detached and slightly broken. The sensor pad was rattling around loose and there was no positive activation of the sensor when pushing the ZL shoulder trigger - there was no “click”. I bent the cradle back into shape, reattached the sensor cradle and the sensor pad that the cradle holds, and while I was at it I fixed the drift issue on the joystick with some isopropyl alcohol and a cotton bud. Good as new now. I am deeply satisfied.
