wow it looks a LOT harder online than it looks IRL
wish you luck!Hope the transition goes well 🙏
They did surgery on a grape
Deconstructed gourmet joycon
New shell? :3
Update: the operation was a success, for both joy-cons! I’ve taken the guts from an official joy-con, the shell from a bootleg, and a brand new battery. No drift so far, too. And yeah, the right joy-con had way more crammed inside; you’d think they’d put the ir chip and the nfc chip on opposite sides, but nope.
I recently replaced the sticks on mine with those magnetic ones that aren’t supposed to drift, and despite the left joycon being more simple, it was also harder. They pass an unrelated ribbon cable over the back of the stick that you have to remove.
Thoughts and prayers 🙏
Give it to me straight doc, is it going to make it?
The left ones are pretty easy but the right ones are a bear. Best wishes for your procedure.
Just don’t strip anything. I had to drill my shell when my joystick started to drift.
i did strip a triagonal case screw unfortunately but i got it out eventually and swapped it for a regular philips screw.
exciting!! I was never able to get the IR sensor plugged back in when I did my shell swap lol
i went out of my way to avoid unplugging it in the first place; its just glued down. that sucks tho.
surgery? more like disection…
