Introduzione
Follow this guide to replace a damaged or drifting joystick in the left Joy-Con 2 controller. If you need to replace the joystick in a right Joy-Con 2, follow this guide instead.
The Joy-Con 2 uses JIS screws. If you use a non-iFixit Phillips driver in JIS screws, you'll risk stripping them.
