Description
This Joy-Con joystick replacement kit has everything to swap out a worn analogue stick: 2 replacement 3D joysticks that fit left or right Joy-Con, 6 coloured thumb caps, 6 screws and a tool set with a Y tri-wing screwdriver, a cross screwdriver, tweezers, a pry bar and a pry tool. That is 19 pieces in total.
Worn thumbsticks are a common cause of Joy-Con stick drift, where a character moves on its own. Replacing the stick module is a popular DIY repair that can save buying a new controller.
