Rinbers® Left Right Analog Joysticks with PCB and Flex Cable Assembly Replacement for Nintendo Wii U Gamepad Controller

Worked

One month in, great replacement part - feels closer to the Switch Pro Controller stick than the Wii Us original stick but that is a good thing for me personally.

Both my original and replacement order were defective. None of the joysticks recenter themselves. So now Ive wasted a week on a job that should have taken 10 minutes

Only needed the left, but it worked perfect

Product delivered on time! Worked like a charm right out of the package. A definite must buy for those who have analog problems. Removal and Installation was simple, just follow YouTube videos of how to open device and replace components with care.

One of our control sticks was failing. Bought this, used Ifixit website Nintendo Wii U GamePad Analog Stick Replacement by Kim Arre as a guide, and less than an hour later we were up and running. Note: before installation it may seem like sticks will get stuck all the way in one direction. Once installed ours didn’t and work exact same as original. I also bought the XOOL Triwing Screwdriver for Nintendo - Professional Full Triwing Screwdriver Repair Tool Kit,3.8mm and 4.5mm Security Screwdriver Game Bit Tool Set for Nintendo Switch Joycon/Nintendo Wii/DS/DSL/GBA for some of the specialty tool. That worked fine as well.

We have had our our Wii U since 2013. So its 9 years old. The dreaded thing happened, the controller started drifting. What to do?! After some research and a helpful website, iFixit, I knew what to order. This is the part!! If you are replacing one joystick, just go ahead and replace the other. Make sure you keep the new ones separate while pulling out the old ones. You may want to keep the old one that works just as a backup, label which side it belongs on. I recommend getting a small wii U tool kit as they are very helpful in changing this part out. This part brought our old wii u back to great working order!

We recieved both a Left and a Right joystick, however the Left one does not work. Would be a great product if both were functional.

Do they lock into position? Yes but only when not installed in the controller. The OEM sticks do as well. The controller is designed to restrict the joysticks from ever moving far enough to lock into position. Installing them instead of just complaining before trying will result in success. They fixed the drift issue on the wiiu I used them on

The first one I ordered was defective. I contacted Rinbers and they responded very quickly asking what I wanted to do. I decided to get a replacement, it shipped and arrived quickly and works fine. Great customer service, thank you!
