Pros & Cons

Pros

The kit comes with everything you need to make the swap on up to 4 joycons. I recommend replacing the factory latches as they will either break or wear down to the point where the joycons will fall off since the plastic is locking against metal.

The whole process is pretty straightforward- i recommend watching a short youtube instructional video first. There were no instructions given with the product but there were some screen shots including in the listing. Fairly easy to install on the red...  Read More



Cons

Price


For 10 bucks you can just install metal ones and never have to worry about it again

For only 10 dollars this product is a must have for your switch

Packaging/appearance

    I dont understand why this is not something they have upgraded already from factory


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i did 4 joycons in a row and im not sure what happened but i guess i over tightened a screw and it came thru the plastic on the back of the joycon


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The instructions are clear and the included tools didn’t strip any screws the only thing i wish it included was extra springs i lost the one from my second joycon sprung away while reassembling and had to go through all my mechanical pens to find a suitable replacement


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One of my joycons was slipping off the switch and i noticed the stopper was worn down thanks to my kids
