iFixit kits repair the Joy-Con Drift

The Joy-Con Drift, this “disease” of the left stick of the Nintendo Switch, is a plague for the owners of the console. Rather than relying on Nintendo service, it is also possible to remedy it yourself, with the right equipment and the appropriate instructions.

This is a well identified problem today of Nintendo Switch. By dint of use, the left joy-con finds itself shifted to the side, with all the worries of handling that this implies. Baptized “Joy Con Drift”, this manufacturing defect has still not been resolved and continues to make life impossible for players.

This problem has taken on sacred proportions, with class actions (these huge collective trials) and even the intervention of UFC-Que Choisir, which took up the file in 2019 … but the concern remains the same today. The iFixit platform, known for its repair kits (whether they are multi-use or designed for a particular breakdown), therefore took the bull by the horns. The brand already offers different kits and tutorials to the Nintendo console, including tackling the problem yourself Joy-Con Drift. You just have to go to the iFixit site, get the necessary tools (all available individually or in kits) and follow the instructions of the tutorial, available since the end of 2019, to the letter. pay around fifteen dollars through Joy-Con, and possibly tools related fees. But for the more manual among you, this will certainly be a fun way to do without Nintendo after-sales service, which can take several weeks to re-ship the repaired console.
