How To Fix Your Loose Joy-Con Permanently!

- Here's a permanent fix for the problem of the Joy Con coming off the Switch without pressing the release button. I show the full process of replacing the damaged latch with a metal one purchased from eBay.

It’s always the left one two
It's the red one for me
Really? I thought the red one coming loose was more common? My red one is noticeably loose compared to my blue joy con (which I am now super careful to press down the release button when inserting and removing the joycon from the switch as an added measure).
Of course it could happen to either joycon.
Protecturneck _ yep it happened to mine
My right one is the problem
People: it’s always the left one
Me: *proceeds to remove right joy con without button*

I really wish Nintendo realized this and made the latches out of metal to begin with
Agreed. 👍
Yeah, this is a huge design flaw. My right joycon doesn't completely come off yet, but it's already to the point where it acts as if it's detached if it moves too much, and oh boy is it annoying.
Switches come with a 1 year warranty so if Nintendo customer support can't or won't fix it then I'm just gonna do it myself and get the metal ones.
ericbazinga the same thing is happening to me! I was trying to fight a lynel in botw and I couldn’t move link, but it wouldn’t give me one of those “press L+R” screens until AFTER I was pounded into dust.
Nintendo are a bunch of cheap ass's....they are fkn cheap ass's........
No because if you have metal instead of plastic if ur switch fell it could break the switch instead of just the joy con
The Left Joycon: The Deformed Child
The Right Joycon: The Responsible Child
For me, it's the opposite.

Dad:dont brake your switch
Blue joycon:I’m bouta end this mans whole career
Me: ight imma head out.
@TheLostVortex it's also the left gray joycon
My mom broke mine
@TheLostVortex hey I saw you on another loose joycon vid 🤣
For me it was the blue joycon too
Just had this issue tonight and was looking for a fix. Great video seems really easy to do. Ordering it tomorrow and will definitely watch this again while I'm doing it
Just used this video to do the same mod. It was very helpful! New levers are installed and work like a charm. Thank you!
Great video. I'll try this! I'm weary of disassembling joycons but you made it look easy and like it's not too involved. Thanks for the video! Good music selection too!
Looked this up and realized the screws on the console itself ( The ones where the joycons connect) were loose, tightened them and now the wobbly/loose/janky switch is now back to normal! THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO, heres a like as well 👍!
I’ve only had my switch for about a week and it’s doing this . RIp
💀 Sorry to hear.
After this happening to mine, I feel like it was because you maybe dropped it? I don’t think this is a normal occurrence when just playing games. I have 3 switches and and one console was straight abused by a family member and both controllers slide off and the screen is super scratched. On my hacked switch, I dropped it the other day and the left joycon hit the floor and slid off. So now I have that problem. I hope you didn’t drop your switch after a week lol
This can also occur from putting the wrist straps on backwards thus, damaging the latches. I'm guilty of doing so from time to time and I'm 100% positive that has contributed to my joycon breaking.
NuyoBoy87 oh darn, that stinks. I don’t use the joy con latches to play them like that. Still sucks cuz the joy con overall is is poorly made
mine happened all of a sudden.. maybe its because i always detach them?
Just a quick thank you i bought a metal latch kit with all the tools on Amazon for $12 fixed it within about 10 minutes they lock in tighter and don't wiggle anymore.
Why is always the blue Joy Con?.....always!
No mine is the red joycon and idk why
Junior Gabe sad

@@Circleference they mean the left one
Even on the acnh édition it’s the pastel blue one 😩
quick tip to everyone: if your release button feels stuck, it's not in the right position!
anyway thank you so much! this has been bothering me for such a long time and i just happened upon your video. my switch feels new again! the screwdrivers the kit came with were absolute junk for me so i bought a set of two tri wings and one phillips for $6.99 on amazon. only needed them for this so i'll be returning them for my money back :p
Thanks man! I didn't realize how simple a fix this is!
Me:goes down stairs with my switch
My left joycon: *Adios*
Thanks for the help I followed your guide and got it done relatively quickly. Only lost 1 spring that was later found lol
Thank you for this guide. Very straightforward and you speak clearly! :)
Thank you for this! I dropped my switch unfortunately, with only a month old pair of joy-cons, and the right one is now flying off. Will give this a go, thanks!
Freezy did it work?
SuperDuper Yep
I just dropped mine today and the left side hit the ground and now it’s doing this :/ I also just had it for only a month
Fun fact: never give your brother the blue joy con while playing smash.
I know now
BRUH THAT HAPPENS WITH BOTH MY JOY CONS! TYSM FOR THE FIX!
Very nice tutorial, worked perfectly! I'd just give a recommendation to others watching to not screw fully push that silver thing in as i found it made the button hard to press and i had to wiggle it out a bit and it worked fine after that
This tutorial was perfect thank you so much👍
Great video. I just fixed my left joycon. Super easy.
omg thanks somuch your a LIFE SAVER!!! all the videos i could find were about • joycon drifting• tsym!!
Everyone: the left one is always coming off
Me : both of them keep coming off
Thanks to you, my father learns how to fix a joycon. And I helped him😄!
I did this procedure but I didn’t need to detach the blue plate that houses the button to release the joy con. Other than this worked like a charm. This happened to me when I let some siblings borrow the switch for two weeks.
Thank you for this. I’ll use this for my left joy con.
Thank you so much. Very thorough and well made video, although the music was maddening haha. Thumbs up and sub!
hey buddy i know its late but thanks for the info. i just ordered the two latches
excellent video' fixed the issue immediately very informative
This video was sooo helpful thanks. My left joycon pops off but its not as bad you still have to apply a bit of force but my right one is stuck on there its not leaving anytime soon.
It's like this on both my joy cons thx so much!!!
Great guide, thanks
OMG thank you i was really nervous to brake my joycons and u showed me how to do it u got 1 like
Great video... Nice music too
This worked thank you so much 👍🏼
I got my for Christmas this year nearly four days ago and I get mad when people say after a while and I take good care of my switch after using it I always put it back inside the box have a screen protector I'm always careful with it I have never dropped it and this still did that
Standard wear and tear. It's all to do with how forceful you are when you remove the joycon and how far you push the button when you release it. I've had my switch for 2 years now and never had a problem. The only time I had to do this repair was when I bought a pair of faulty joycons to fix.
@@mondelsson so how much force and press do you need to keep em good?
Same. This happened literally the day as I got the switch
Thank you this really helped 😊

Thanks 🙏🏾
Legend
lol you dont wanna know how he feels about this first?
Quick tip that I’ve learned doing this if its still slid after you put it together try to check if the joycon back button is mounted correctly it should have a shape on the slot
Thank you so much for this video it was very helpful. Now question i was able to successfully change one joy con plastic part to the metal. My second joy con however one of the screw became stripped. Do you know of any way of take it out? (one of the four screws in the back attach to the back plate)
Your a real Tech Wiz!
JagotiENT you’re*
No I’m joking my bad bro
Thanks bro
Mine hasn’t even started doing this yet but I already want to replace the parts just for peace of mind
Good idea! Mines 2 months old and the blue one started doing it. I might as well repair both now!
i would do it tbh
Mine don't come.out all the way but are slight loose after dropping in my sleep. May have to try these when I do my shell swap.
This is a great vid and I followed perfectly (or so I thought) and I fixed the problem of it coming off, but there is still a wiggle… is that normal?
Hey bro you should update the link to the metal latches, eBay couldn’t find thankfully I just searched and found them after a little digging.
Thanks for the tut. I’m doing this, I consider it an upgrade for my used/new switch and also gonna change batter to a new one.
Thanks for the heads up! I'll update it asap!
I try to take the screws out of the back of the joy con but they are so tight. Any tips?
Can you please post an updated link for where to purchase the latches? The eBay link isn’t working anymore (for me, at least).
My 5 year old has managed to do this to his switch after only 5 days. Gonna chance my arm returning it, if that fails I'll be doing this. Thanks
il show this to my dad bc my doesn't come off but slowly starts to and I wanna fix that problem !
The issue I have is that it pops and gets a 1 mm up and I don't like that so thanks for helping !!!
Thank you! YOu solved my problem. Too bad the link in for the latches does not work
I’d be to scared that I’d rip the ribbon cables and ruin my joy-cons
just be easy bud. this stuff gets easy when you do it a lot
My switch cons slide up only when I hold it vertically or put a bit of grip/force to the bottom of the joycon and I've only had it for 1 day
Thanks
Would this help it from wiggling too? Even latched the controller wiggles front and back and has trouble connecting
I actually have a grip case that holds everything in my Nintendo switch but I’m worried if this does any damage to the joy cons because whenever I try to put my Nintendo Switch into the grip case, the grip case sometimes forces the joy cons to pop our without pressing the buttons in the back, I’m just worried if that does any damage to the joy con itself.
My prayers are answered
Just got my joy con replaced a year ago for the drifting and I just dropped my joycon on the controller holder thing that came with the switch and the red one broke off and now it loosr
With mine I don't know if this has anything to do with it coming off, but when you take the joy con off you see the arrows on the side of the joy con, the black paint is scraped off a little. Idk
Sounds like normal wear and tear to me. As long as it functions properly, it shouldn't be an issue.
Is there another link to the kit that you have because the other is unavailable
My Left Joycon which is the only joycon that is slips only slips off the grip and not the screen is it the grip that has the problem or the joycon?
Idk I don’t wanna do this after all of my Xbox controllers I might just get a new set of joy cons and a carrying case
My problem seems to be on the switch itself and I have two sets of joycons and they both do the same thing on the left.
Is there another way to fix this??i would buy the metal parts but i can’t really order stuff online and the Nintendo switch is a very uncommon console in my town so parts and accessories are really hard to find
So get this!- i did this and now i have a metal latch. AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! Turns out that its the button itself! I took it out and without it the joycon stays locked in just fine. But when i place the button back in it goes back to sliding out with a bit of force.
Now i have the joycon with no button to release it from the system and i have to poke the latch with something narrow to take it off.
Ive had my switch since Christmas and this started happening to me last month. It annoys me to no end.
My friend had joycon drift and he had insurance for it so what he did was have Best Buy ship him new ones as a replacement and he got to keep the ones he had so he had gotten new ones for free and kept the old ones and I have the same problem as the video and im getting new ones shipped to me for free and Im gonna try to see if I can keep the old ones and do this fix for it to get two new joycons
Just bought new controllers for my son's switch. The old ones were super loose and would slide out easy. I bought new joy cons from Nintendo and they still feel real loose and the right side doesn't seem to work right. It keeps glitching as if I just popped in the joy con. Can't really play it like that. Any ideas on how to fix?
Mines slightly loose but I thought I should do something about it now rather than later when I gets worse
hey this happened to me if i bought a new controller will it be fixed?
I just hope it’s the joy con problem not the actual strip next to the screen.
When I do the rotation (left side to right, right to left) my joy con became solid as a rock. Idk why it’s doing that...
How can I fix the button of a joy con the button to take it of the switch is broke I broke my joy con the black bar that has sl and sr came of I put it back in and the button came off too so I put it back in too and it was in then I put it on the switch the I pressed the button and it would not come off unless I have tweesers and that's not a problem the problem is that it would not connect it would not make the click nose and it would not maie the effect and it would not charge so help me somehow
I only had my switch for 1 month and that happened
*month and i had mine for 1 week and this happened
1 month
@@blvdsuckinsata my bad mate and I barely saw
@@qtarookujou my bad
God, 1st model switches were so bad in the long run. My sd card reader stopped working entirely (replaced, still didnt work.) the paint on the rails. screen is popping out and wont go back in. The screw near the fan. I wonder whats next to go faulty.
I had my switch in the dock and put the joycons on the wrong way. The next day i realize and its loose and keeps falling off, would it be joycon or switch? Bc i could get new controllers
Is this how to make it not disconnect when it’s on or is that a different think
Can I just buy new joycons and will it help the solution?
my brand new joy cons have just started doing it and i’m screwed as my dad bought me them so i’m gonna get in so much trouble :(
Damn I got the same product and it’s not even unable to unscrew the screws on the joycon might’ve gotten the wrong one
very simple and easy tutorial! thumbs up and a sub from me!
Can you explain how to fix nintendo from having a button working and then the button stops working and it repeats
Uhh... my switch has the same exact problem except it wasn't worn, i've only had it for 4 months, I had dropped my switch by accident when I hit my arm on a doorway in my loft, the screen is okay, but not the blue joycon, it slipped off when it fell, and now is loose, I remembered seeing how to fix this before, but I forgot, so now im here...
Will it fix the problem if I get s new joycon?
Hey so my 4 y screws won’t open up and they seem to be chipped
My switch joycons become loose. I’ve noticed that there are scratches on the bottom corners, does that have anything to do with the joycons slipping off?
Scratches are scratches.. Just wear and tear. What you really have to worry about is the latch which this video highlights.
my left one did that too but it did that after i doped it
Nice, now all you need to do is fix the joycon drag on the trumb stick and your joycon will work fine
If only i wasn't scared to do this
Same blue one as mine..
Is it normal for the button that detaches the joycon to really hard
It’s the right one for me
Ive onley had my switch for 1/2 weeks and i dropped it and joy con flew off now its loose
Same with the left one on mine. It is just the left one.
Its the right one for me
Do they sell this kit on amazon?
I'm sure they do.
I assume since its metal its more durable
help. I just replaced those with the metals today and my joy cons still wont stay in the console!
Mine had this problem on the first day!
Damn.. talk about bad luck! 😱
