great purchase

This is the quickest and easiest swap out I've done. This part is worth the replacement as it removed all the stick drift. The functionality is smooth and feels amazing.

Good Joysticks!

The joysticks themselves seem quite accurate and will last a very long time without drift. The metal buckles it comes with are a gamechanger for getting joycons to stay connected to the console, one of the controllers I had would disconnect sometimes when in handheld mode but changing to the metal buckles fixed that issue.

Quality issues

Both new joycons started having drift problems after a few days and are completely unusable now.

Awesome joycon upgrades!

These hall effect joycon sticks brought a couple of our most busted joycons back to life. I love hall effect joysticks and these did not disappoint. The additional thumb pad covers was a nice little addition.

They're fine

We have several joycons that drift, so I got these to replace the joystick. The kit comes with everything you need, all of the various screwdrivers and screws. The instructional video is easy to follow. I've replaced the joystick, but haven't been able to calibrate they joycons successfully.

Best kit to buy! No more drifting sticks and perfect response every time.

This kit comes with everything you need to fix your drifting Joy-Cons on your switch. The screwdrivers for those weird tri-wing screws are durable, so no stripping heads, and the sticks themselves are practically drop-in, just have to be careful with the ribbon cable insertion. The magnetic design is an incredible improvement over the carbon trace OEM design, and have the exact same response profile. Best kit to buy!
