First time I ever swapped out Switch Joycons! Not sure quite as hard as I expected, but pretty fiddly!

Is there a reason you did this instead of sending them in for service?
Are the replacement parts official? Are they better? Is there a brand you prefer?
Asking because I have the correct driver and work on other electronics, but don’t know anything about replacement parts for Nintendo.
edit: Just realized I should check ifixit, and found these:

I’m not OP but I hate sending mail. Also being without controllers.
I have a couple Zelda editions with drift I’m worried they wouldn’t send back.
I’ve heard they can indeed send different ones back. The official excuse is if it is beyond repair.
@[email protected] the controllers are five years old. The sticks are pretty inexpensive on eBay, so I thought: what the heck, replacement seems simple, less hassle than to send them in. I picked a random seller from Germany who had good reputation.
