how does he keep doing that are you tired of your switch playing
every game like its Initial D just drifting all over the place there's a
solution the ghoulie kit joy-con replacement sticks they use hall effect
sensors which are like their sensors that detect magnets four screws and a
ribbon cable and I can get this installed and that's all that I need now if you've never worked with ghouli kits
stuff before I mean they've got a couple of controllers out they've got the King Kong 2 controller for the switch they've
got the elves controller which is also for the switch we're going to look at
these let's open them up the major upside to a hall effect sensor is that
there's no actual parts that are touching each other nothing's wearing
away as time goes on your joysticks are going to last a lot longer alright these
are small and dark so we can't really see them very well on this Northern
Lights desk pad available at lttstore.com only thing left to do now
is get them installed all right it's time for us to grab our handy dandy tool
kit we're gonna open this thing up and we're gonna put these in here now we've
got four screws we've got to take out one two three and four now I haven't
done a ton of controller repairs before on newer consoles I've never actually
opened up a switch before I've opened up the different Dev kits I'm usually the
person to do the dev kit videos with a couple of exceptions so we've got our
four screws out now so it makes me wonder what the next step is here it
keeps trying to pair so I'm just going to start shoving pieces of plastic
inside of other pieces of plastic and hope for the best here oh oh and you're
starting to open up here a little bit unfortunately this has been de-branded
we're gonna have to break through the debranding it looks like oh no see this
not sure if you can see that that's what happens when you just lose control oh
come on come on there we go and this is what the inside
of it looks like so we've got two ribbon cables we've got one right here which is
easy enough to get at and we've got what appears to be one underneath the battery
okay we're gonna go in from this side and then push this up to take the
battery out instead of prying it off now the HD Rumble wire is just getting in
the way so I'm going to move that over for a second
it works properly all right so the next thing that we need to do is actually get
this plastic part here off because if we look at this matching up with the back
of this we can see hey let's probably the joystick that's right there so we've
got three screws we need to remove we've got one here one over here and one
somewhere over by my finger we've got this ribbon cable just over here that
does connect up to this it does connect up to this shoulder button here so we'll
really need to remove that I don't think as long as we are very gentle with it oh
hey hey it flipped upwards just like it's supposed to
and we should be able to just get underneath it and pull it up oh we did
it get these two Phillips head screws out
okay now we can compare them side by side the color of the ribbon cable is
different here they are on the back the blue is the original and the Amber is
the ghouie kit okay so actually slipping it in the actual top of the joystick if
I can get that in a way that you can see it yeah it doesn't actually fit in
perfectly it does kind of pull on that a little bit but you just kind of force it
through ever so gently maybe move it back and forth a little bit it'll find
its way in there now the hardest part is making this
ribbon cable right here go back in its home
in hindsight it's a lot easier to start with the ribbon cable and then go from
there all right we got ourselves a nice little pair of iFixit tweezers put that
little little black tab back down and
then get our joystick into place and I
really should not be putting the stress on this I really should have you know
gone in here and flipped that up and taken this out to put this off to the
side earlier I just didn't because I'm lazy oh my God why did I disconnect this
this is so difficult there we go take
our screws screw this back in there before this can go back on we've now got
our joystick screwed in we're going to have to put our oh what button is this I
don't play the switch enough okay it's R it's our right button so
this is currently being held in by two tiny plastic tabs there I'm not sure if
you can see that that looks about right now there we go that looks about the way
that it was when we opened it right sure the battery if I had to take a guess
it's going to go with the wires facing
upwards and then we can just press it down oh look at that look at that I did
it I did the thing back in
batteries and it's housing we're going to press it down because there's
two-sided tape underneath it but first let me stall to tell you about our
sponsor Floatplane.com Floatplane is a great
place for you to get to know more about us from behind the scenes interviews
travel Vlogs and more exclusive content you'll never be without content to unbox
get it it's unboxing like on ShortCircuit what we do here here's a quick
look at what we got LMG cribs Colton Potter I've been to Colton's house Paris
Phillips oh Mac Address bloopers that that's got to be good I wonder if that
includes anything from the time that they went to the beach with a computer so if you want to see more from us you

I have the joy-con reassembled let's give it a test though I do have this
mismatched left joy-con which does have the original joystick still in it so
let's give this a shot immediately I do notice a fair bit of
difference the ghouie kit
version feels a lot rounder when you go
around the outside like you can't feel the different points to it or if you can
there's only four points I don't know if that's necessarily better I think you
could put these side by side and somebody wouldn't necessarily be able to
tell unless they knew exactly what they were looking for when they felt it all
right let's try it out okay so what I'm seeing here is that it's very much
calibrated over to the side I'm not a big fan of that uh so if I hold it right
here it's in center but recalibrate only if there is a problem there is calibrate
move it towards the triangle and release it
calibration complete oh hey look at that I'm not a huge snob about dead zones
typically but I do notice that when we move it just a little bit it does start
to move that's good enough by me maybe you will have a different experience
with it maybe there is some Smash Brothers players out there who really
enjoy using joy-cons for whatever reason for their Smash brothering and they
notice a dead zone that is extremely make or break for them okay so on the
standard joystick I'm still not noticing much of a dead zone so I don't believe
there is a huge Dead Zone to begin with the major selling point no drift that's
the only difference I'm noticing that's the only difference there really needs
to be because at the end of the day so many people have drift problems that the
ability to have a joy-con that you know won't drift that's worth a lot
here we go now we can do something with this
because you can control the camera with it hey look at that we can get it just very
slowly moving like that look at that faster slower faster slower yeah yeah
this is this is the way of water right now
yeah there we go overall I think there's not really much
of a difference here The Only Exception is you're not going to get stick drift
that's a pretty good selling feature I think if you've dealt with some small
ribbon cables before probably not gonna be the hardest thing in the world for
you overall difficulty I'd say it's probably about a seven out of ten does
cost about 30 US Dollars whereas a joy-con typically costs about 40 US
dollars so that ten dollar difference seems worth it to me thanks for watching
