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

I have never worked on electronics before, though I know my way around tools (around the house). Its pretty straight forward. I didnt even watch a Youtube video before. Just look at what screws are in your way and remove those. Put them in a box, preferable white or light colored so you can find them again easily. The screws inside are a 3 star shape, which thankfully this kit comes with. Make sure you change out the white cable too. The original one is soldered on. I thought I had to keep the old one, but the old white cable didnt fit into the new joysticks. Then I realized the white cables needed to be changed also. The new white cables just click on. Very easy. Make sure everything is clean before you reassemble. If you spilled soda or whatever on your controller make sure its all clean while you have it open! Wii U controller works great now. No more sticky controls.

The replacement for the joy stick I was having problems with did not work. The reason I bought this was to replace my left joy stick and that one is the one that did not work.

These replacement controllers worked great, and I was pleasantly surprised to find some included screwdrivers. Follow the instructions on iFixit to install them.

Shipped fast, worked as intended

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.

Worked

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

Worked very well on my Wii U gamepad!

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.
