00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:12.540
how does he keep doing that are you tired of your switch playing

00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:17.880
every game like its Initial D just drifting all over the place there's a

00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:22.199
solution the ghoulie kit joy-con replacement sticks they use hall effect

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:26.400
sensors which are like their sensors that detect magnets four screws and a

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.320
ribbon cable and I can get this installed and that's all that I need now if you've never worked with ghouli kits

00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:37.200
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

00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:40.860
got the elves controller which is also for the switch we're going to look at

00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:44.820
these let's open them up the major upside to a hall effect sensor is that

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:48.899
there's no actual parts that are touching each other nothing's wearing

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:53.399
away as time goes on your joysticks are going to last a lot longer alright these

00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:56.039
are small and dark so we can't really see them very well on this Northern

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.899
Lights desk pad available at lttstore.com only thing left to do now

00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:04.860
is get them installed all right it's time for us to grab our handy dandy tool

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.040
kit we're gonna open this thing up and we're gonna put these in here now we've

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:13.320
got four screws we've got to take out one two three and four now I haven't

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:17.820
done a ton of controller repairs before on newer consoles I've never actually

00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:22.200
opened up a switch before I've opened up the different Dev kits I'm usually the

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:27.479
person to do the dev kit videos with a couple of exceptions so we've got our

00:01:24.659 --> 00:01:31.799
four screws out now so it makes me wonder what the next step is here it

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:35.340
keeps trying to pair so I'm just going to start shoving pieces of plastic

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:39.079
inside of other pieces of plastic and hope for the best here oh oh and you're

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:43.560
starting to open up here a little bit unfortunately this has been de-branded

00:01:41.939 --> 00:01:48.420
we're gonna have to break through the debranding it looks like oh no see this

00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:52.920
not sure if you can see that that's what happens when you just lose control oh

00:01:51.299 --> 00:01:58.680
come on come on there we go and this is what the inside

00:01:55.860 --> 00:02:02.700
of it looks like so we've got two ribbon cables we've got one right here which is

00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:07.200
easy enough to get at and we've got what appears to be one underneath the battery

00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:12.360
okay we're gonna go in from this side and then push this up to take the

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.060
battery out instead of prying it off now the HD Rumble wire is just getting in

00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:17.660
the way so I'm going to move that over for a second

00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:24.720
it works properly all right so the next thing that we need to do is actually get

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.520
this plastic part here off because if we look at this matching up with the back

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:34.080
of this we can see hey let's probably the joystick that's right there so we've

00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:39.300
got three screws we need to remove we've got one here one over here and one

00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:44.459
somewhere over by my finger we've got this ribbon cable just over here that

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:49.620
does connect up to this it does connect up to this shoulder button here so we'll

00:02:47.819 --> 00:02:54.599
really need to remove that I don't think as long as we are very gentle with it oh

00:02:52.379 --> 00:02:57.300
hey hey it flipped upwards just like it's supposed to

00:02:55.860 --> 00:03:03.360
and we should be able to just get underneath it and pull it up oh we did

00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:08.220
it get these two Phillips head screws out

00:03:05.459 --> 00:03:12.360
okay now we can compare them side by side the color of the ribbon cable is

00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:17.220
different here they are on the back the blue is the original and the Amber is

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:22.019
the ghouie kit okay so actually slipping it in the actual top of the joystick if

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.540
I can get that in a way that you can see it yeah it doesn't actually fit in

00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:32.159
perfectly it does kind of pull on that a little bit but you just kind of force it

00:03:30.180 --> 00:03:35.400
through ever so gently maybe move it back and forth a little bit it'll find

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.739
its way in there now the hardest part is making this

00:03:37.980 --> 00:03:43.500
ribbon cable right here go back in its home

00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:47.580
in hindsight it's a lot easier to start with the ribbon cable and then go from

00:03:45.540 --> 00:03:53.400
there all right we got ourselves a nice little pair of iFixit tweezers put that

00:03:50.220 --> 00:03:56.879
little little black tab back down and

00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.379
then get our joystick into place and I

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:02.459
really should not be putting the stress on this I really should have you know

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:06.900
gone in here and flipped that up and taken this out to put this off to the

00:04:04.739 --> 00:04:12.420
side earlier I just didn't because I'm lazy oh my God why did I disconnect this

00:04:09.299 --> 00:04:15.239
this is so difficult there we go take

00:04:12.420 --> 00:04:20.280
our screws screw this back in there before this can go back on we've now got

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:24.720
our joystick screwed in we're going to have to put our oh what button is this I

00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:29.880
don't play the switch enough okay it's R it's our right button so

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:33.780
this is currently being held in by two tiny plastic tabs there I'm not sure if

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:39.419
you can see that that looks about right now there we go that looks about the way

00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:45.240
that it was when we opened it right sure the battery if I had to take a guess

00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:47.699
it's going to go with the wires facing

00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:51.840
upwards and then we can just press it down oh look at that look at that I did

00:04:49.979 --> 00:04:56.340
it I did the thing back in

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:59.880
batteries and it's housing we're going to press it down because there's

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:04.460
two-sided tape underneath it but first let me stall to tell you about our

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.820

get it it's unboxing like on ShortCircuit what we do here here's a quick

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:26.699
look at what we got LMG cribs Colton Potter I've been to Colton's house Paris

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.979
Phillips oh Mac Address bloopers that that's got to be good I wonder if that

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:33.419

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:44.940
I have the joy-con reassembled let's give it a test though I do have this

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:48.780
mismatched left joy-con which does have the original joystick still in it so

00:05:46.919 --> 00:05:52.820
let's give this a shot immediately I do notice a fair bit of

00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:58.979
difference the ghouie kit

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.900
version feels a lot rounder when you go

00:05:58.979 --> 00:06:05.820
around the outside like you can't feel the different points to it or if you can

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.780
there's only four points I don't know if that's necessarily better I think you

00:06:08.340 --> 00:06:13.380
could put these side by side and somebody wouldn't necessarily be able to

00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:18.539
tell unless they knew exactly what they were looking for when they felt it all

00:06:15.780 --> 00:06:22.560
right let's try it out okay so what I'm seeing here is that it's very much

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:27.900
calibrated over to the side I'm not a big fan of that uh so if I hold it right

00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:33.300
here it's in center but recalibrate only if there is a problem there is calibrate

00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:37.560
move it towards the triangle and release it

00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:42.360
calibration complete oh hey look at that I'm not a huge snob about dead zones

00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:45.960
typically but I do notice that when we move it just a little bit it does start

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:49.199
to move that's good enough by me maybe you will have a different experience

00:06:47.340 --> 00:06:53.340
with it maybe there is some Smash Brothers players out there who really

00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:58.919
enjoy using joy-cons for whatever reason for their Smash brothering and they

00:06:56.460 --> 00:07:03.060
notice a dead zone that is extremely make or break for them okay so on the

00:07:01.139 --> 00:07:07.979
standard joystick I'm still not noticing much of a dead zone so I don't believe

00:07:05.580 --> 00:07:12.840
there is a huge Dead Zone to begin with the major selling point no drift that's

00:07:10.919 --> 00:07:16.500
the only difference I'm noticing that's the only difference there really needs

00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:20.759
to be because at the end of the day so many people have drift problems that the

00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:25.139
ability to have a joy-con that you know won't drift that's worth a lot

00:07:23.580 --> 00:07:30.000
here we go now we can do something with this

00:07:28.440 --> 00:07:35.580
because you can control the camera with it hey look at that we can get it just very

00:07:32.880 --> 00:07:41.280
slowly moving like that look at that faster slower faster slower yeah yeah

00:07:38.940 --> 00:07:44.520
this is this is the way of water right now

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:49.139
yeah there we go overall I think there's not really much

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:54.060
of a difference here The Only Exception is you're not going to get stick drift

00:07:51.780 --> 00:07:57.900
that's a pretty good selling feature I think if you've dealt with some small

00:07:55.919 --> 00:08:01.199
ribbon cables before probably not gonna be the hardest thing in the world for

00:07:58.979 --> 00:08:05.819
you overall difficulty I'd say it's probably about a seven out of ten does

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:10.819
cost about 30 US Dollars whereas a joy-con typically costs about 40 US

00:08:08.039 --> 00:08:15.000
dollars so that ten dollar difference seems worth it to me thanks for watching

ghoulie kit joy-con joystick

00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:32.640
is that Ghillie kit why would it be Ghillie kit do you see

00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:36.560
do you see it wearing one of those suits that Dennis always loves to wear when

00:08:34.140 --> 00:08:36.560
he's hiding
