For those who have had slight joycon drift and don't feel like opening your joycons: isopropyl alcohol into cotton swab/Q-tip, enough to soak it -> rub the alcohol into the joystick base where you can see the seam between the console and stick -> after getting the whole thing nice and wet, rotate joystick vigorously while clicking it at the same time in order to get the alcohol all the way inside -> repeat the whole process couple times, usually three or four does the trick for me. And there you have it, the drift should be gone for a good half a year or so, depending of usage I guess. Has worked for me every time and counting.

@@sagichdirdochnicht4653 there's no problem with him replacing the analog stick. But after you do that, add that little bit of cardstock to make sure you don't get the minor drift as well. It's just so prominent, and will most likely happen in most joycons.

iirc, the kickstand is supposed to be set from the inside of the back panel during reassembly. That might need outright replacement. I've taken apart my Switch and redid the thermals; and added thermal pads to the RAM as well as pads along the lower part of the heatpipe to help pull any straggling heat to the shielding. The real weakness is how the dock blocks the Switch in terms of ambient air. Those little oblongs aren't exactly vents, kind of?

Even though the replacement card readers are so cheap it would have been nice to see you try to fix the original one, maybe bending the pin back down to see if it would work, I feel like it would have been satisfying to see that first and then you could have opted for a replacement if it didn't work. Great video otherwise, glad you do your videos in a more entertaining format over a tutorial format, theres so many repair tutorial channels so its refreshing to have more of an entertaining take on product repair

Joy cons with the dock alone is worth the money. The switch was free if you think about it. I just picked up a fully boxed switch HAC-101 on eBay with 2 sets of joy cons(one pair is splatoon colours) Minecraft game, 128gb micro sd card, 2 cases and 2 normal controllers for £160 posted. The guy started the auction at £94 and I messaged him that day and asked him for the serial number(for modding) and then once he’s showed me I offered him £160 for it and he was well happy as am I! It’s perfect for the price😃. I’ve got the games I want because i soft modded it and I’ve ordered the special edition animal crossing housing for the switch, dock and joy cons from aliexpress to finish it off.

Most of the time you dont even have to replace anything in the joycon, if you cut a business card or something of that thickness over the joystick inside the controller that fixes the drift as most of them have issues due to bad contact and the pressure the card creates fixes it!
