Same here, I agree. That cable is a lot shorter than the other side and I had a terrible time reconnecting it. After it was all back together, my ZR didn't work and I had to reopen, and fight with it all over again. Luckily, 2nd time around it seems to be ok now. Do yourself a favor and work around it without disconnecting
The person who posted this video should honestly pin this comment. I thought the ribbon cable for the Joycon was a pain to reattach, this ribbon cable was WAY worse. It really isn't necessary to disconnect it.
I should have seen this before starting... I'm on the second joy con and it's really getting on my nerves. Most of the time I spent on the first one was just getting that cable back in
awesome tutorial!!!! i will say shouldve mentioned the stick recalibration in settings since i had to do that for my left one but after that they work flawlessly!!!!!
Hello bro, I have a question that I hope you can help me, (I'm from Spain, that's why my English is bad) I bought these joysticks and I removed the rubber that you removed to put the color blue, I also did it to change the color to blue because It's great, what I did notice and that's why my question is that when removing the rubber from the joystick it unfolds, as happened to you, the anti-dust rubber that is under the stick, that thin rubber that is meant to protect from dust, and then when putting again the stick notice that this rubber is no longer so attached and if you look it dances a little more than normal is this normal? I don't think it's a problem but I wanted to confirm a greeting, I don't know if I explained it well or you understood me
Thanks for the video helped a lot but it seems the splatoon joycons are a little differently shaped on the mid lar battery holder not much but just the shape is off on green
The connector at 2:48 is especially tricky to reconnect. The way he's holding it at 3:22 gives you just enough room to reconnect it but be patient with it. Some users are saying not to disconnect it but it is *very* short and taut, and prone to being damaged if you aren't mindful of the plastic piece you're moving out of the way. Do what you're more comfortable with but imo I'd rather go through the 5 minute headache of trying to reconnect the f**ker. As annoying as it is, breaking it and having to replace it would be even more annoying. The cable at 4:15 you could get away with not disconnecting but it isn't hard to reconnect. Make sure to calibrate the sticks in the Switch's settings for them to work correctly. They work great!
Aaaaaand I broke it. Edit: i didnt break it and it actually worked! But I probably didnt need to replace the joycon anyway, probably could have used IPA to clean it.
I don't recommend this replacement if you need to ever use the stick buttons. My wife plays a game where she needs to use the buttons and after a few days the left stick just stops clicking and won't read left/right inputs. Happened twice.
@@ZeldagigafanMatthew yes, they worked for a few days or so perfectly. Maybe my wife presses down really hard on the sticks, but we got OEM Joycon Joystick replacements and I installed them with the cardboard backing method and they've worked for weeks now, idk man.
Please provide better instructions when it comes to disconnecting the battery. You said to just pull up. I did this and it ripped the wire from the connector, now the battery doesn’t work. I should have looked at the amount of views / likes before watching because this is an amateur tutorial. Please beware of this video, the controllers are extremely delicate. Watch a professional takedown video instead.

I do not recommending to disconnect the cable on 2:50 ...
Its a nightmare to put it back on.

100% agree
@@MD-ot3nl the metal thing should face down when you clip it for the right joycon and it should face up if you’re doing it for left
Yeah… still can’t get it back on, any tips? I have the fattest fingers ever lol

Dude super helpful. Used this as my guide for the whole process. Thank you so much!
Do not disconnect the middle board ribbon cable, it is a nightmare to put back on, and is easier just to leave it off to the side.

I rlly gotta start looking at things more before I start buying them on Amazon
Thank you friend, this guide helped me a lot.

Help, the same thing happens to me, did you solve it? 5:17
Whatever you do DO NOT remove that cable at 2:50. Leave it on and work around it.

Thank you.
When purchased will we be getting one Joystick or both. Very excited to work with these.
We sell them in sets of two, so if you buy one pack you'll have enough for an entire switch! 😃
Telling people to simply pull up on the connector for the battery isn’t a good idea, people are going to snap the wires
I need to find or make my own rubber replacements dome / dust covers as I lost one :(
Broke my controller trying to get them ribbon out. Definitely not something to try when your unfamiliar with ribbons

I've not had this issue. Are you sure the ribbon cables are seated correctly?

@@AntonioEligius maybe you got a bad unit, sorry it happened tho.
I'm still getting stick drift
I like that these sticks exist, but this is one of the worst purchased i've ever made. Not ever worth this level of hassel.

Get good. It's obv that you be careful while doing so
I did what he said and it came off perfectly, not his fault, skill issue

Dude literally says be careful with the ribbon cables @ 0.53 in the video
