Joy-Con 2 (Right) Joystick Replacement

Introduzione

Follow this guide to replace a damaged or drifting joystick in a right Joy-Con 2 controller. If you need to replace the joystick in a left 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.

Hello Reader!

I recently broke my right Nintendo Switch 2 joy-con when it fell off of my bed, and the joystick stem just snapped completely off. I thought all hope was lost, but then I found this guide and bought a repair kit (with proper screwdrivers, pliers, sticks, and smudger; can literally get it off of Amazon, if not from this website).

The steps were super thorough, and the pictures were amazingly accurate. I am a 19-year-old with no mechanical or technological experience, yet I was able to completely repair my joy-con in around an hour (maybe less), and now I don't have to buy new ones!

Please follow this guide if you need to fix your joy-con!! It works!!
