So, my both my JoyCon have a bad drift, and the extra one I got also have the same issue. I am looking for some third party handheld controller for Switch.
Only need it for handheld, since Pro Controller is pretty great and I have no issue with it when playing docked.
I have done some research, but was hoping to get some personal feedback from the lovely people in the community.
So, any recommendations?
Mine took about 15-20 minutes each, just because I was trying to be really careful. There are great kits with hall effect sensors you can get on Amazon, and great videos to watch (also read through comments to learn from people’s mistakes.)
The biggest thing to watch for is the three point screws on the outside case, they strip easily. My kit came with replacement screws FYI.
I used a toothpick to help me lift the locks/stays for the ribbon cables, and to gently ensure they were seated.
I looked up the ifixit video, I think I am going to try to get the pack that has everything builtin. Kinda like what ifixit sells, but for these hall effect ones.
I’m glad you’re deciding to check it out. It’s not too difficult, just a good opportunity to learn and DIY. Good luck with the fix! I would stills echo what I said before, read some comments in the various fix videos out there, there are some real valuable insights there that people document in their own experiences that are good hindsight things to know going in.
Yeah, looking at them. Thanks!
