Yoooo thanks for the video. Made replacing the latch super easy and I actually loved the music in the background lmao. Helped me focus.

Outstanding. The music was fitting.

Thanks man ❤

Useless.

Good video. The music gave me cancer...

and its 2024 and im following your simple tuto to replace my locks. very nice work explaining. thnks

Watching this video these are what I forgot to order when I ordered my hall effect joysticks for my joycons. Oh well I've lived with it for 2 years sometimes sliding up and I only play on it a couple times a month anyway. This is a good video and someone should be able to replace this pretty easy just by watching this.

Got a second hand switch and this was so helpful, thank you so much!

Hey thanks a ton, worked great!

Great tutorial!

Thank you so much! Even tho I disliked the music, your tutorial fixed an annoying problem I've been having for so long now

Installed mine today. Love them!

Very helpful

I just received some joy cons from temu They're compatible with the Switch and you can't tell the difference. I like then a lot, but.... one of the joycon locking mechanism came broken. I'm comparing the real joycons from the fake ones and it looks to be the same type. If so... do ya'll think getting any regular joy con replacement locking mechanism tools will work on this fake joycon?

You might consider washing your hands and using a brush to clean under your fingernails.

I bought the Ifixit buckles, but it still slips out of lock

Thanks for the video, it helped me figure out how to take off the metal plate covering the lock. In my case, it wouldn't come off completeley. The bottom part was stuck, so i bend the plate to make room. Not optimal, but better than mess up the ribon cables trying to pull it out.

Just did mine thanks alot

Thank you.

Thanks man!

Damn Nintendo for using plastic, we all have to do this eventually 😭

Good video and tutorial. It really helped a lot. But try to avoid the background music in the future. Or at the very least put it at about 25-30% the volume you had it here.

Didn’t help at all and u ruined my joycon

thanks bro. your video very helpful . i save my penny from spend to much repair my joycon 🌹

How are they long term? Im worried about them wearing out the rails on my switch

Thanks for awesome vid. Helped me fix my son's Joycon. Top stuff.

bro next time use a different song this song got annoying quick

Thank you for this! I do believe I will be able to fix my slipping joycon no prob after I order the metal locks from Amazon meow.

I replaced the lock, but it still comes off without hitting the button. Perhaps I put the spring in wrong? The button is a bit stiff.

1:40 Tutorial actually starts.

The screw that holds the latch together is hard to get out help

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I think you should raise the music

Thank you very much for posting this video. I had a joycon that kept slipping its bindings but this video help me fix it without breaking something else. Top job.

yo dudes, before you decide that the plastic clip in your joycon may be broken, make sure its not the joy-con grip that is the issue, I had a cheap knock-off grip that didn't have a metal rail, and it turns out that my clips weren't broken it was just that rail that was broken, if you have another grip controller, test it in that grip first to see if it slides out, I opened mine up for no reason only to find out I just had a bad grip controller :') I mean I had to open it anyway to fix the drift with some card stock but...I coulda saved myself some time if I just realized that my clips were fine. oh well xD

Looks sick

wow didn't know this was an option, is there any corners nintendo can't cut. TY!!

I thought this was a fairing video? Exhaust sound was extra? Nice !

Its shitty. Scratched my headlight fairing. The edges are razor sharp too

I tried replacing mine but it gets stuck on the switch won’t come off how do I fix that

Hi, I saw the video, very nice. if possible I wanted to know the brand and model of the windscreen and where I can order it online. I am in Europe in Italy.

i did the left side effortless a year ago. now i come to do the right....it slips right off the rail idk why...

cute nails bro

Just fitted one here in UK, great quality, won’t deflect much wind, but that’s not the point of this fairing... it looks cool as, and probably will help with front end stability.

Sick!!!!

would it really blow the budget of nintendo if they made these metal to begin with, this is one of the most common issues with joycons and all nintendo would have to do is spend like 1 dollar on metal buckles and the issue is solved. Thanks for the video cant wait for my package to arrive.

I have a problem...I accidentally disconnected one of the orange ribbon thingies, how do I connect it again? Update:....It got ripped into two pieces...I broke my joycon, it doesn’t work anymore

Thank you sir. I will say, for anyone that's reading this comment in the future, test the release button to make sure the security bar (meatal U) isn't pressing down on the lock too hard, or the spring won't push it back into place.

I did the replacement on my son's Switch. Easy peezy. However, the blue side won't lock. Any suggestions? The red locks fine
