Pros & Cons

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

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
