Rinbers® Left Right Analog Joysticks with PCB and Flex Cable Assembly Replacement for Nintendo Wii U Gamepad Controller

Got 2 right hand control sticks. Instead of 1 of each. Of course I needed the left stick.

After waiting several months for the product to ship from China, the product turned out to be defective.

Worked very well on my Wii U gamepad!

My WII U left joystick has been drifting for some time now. I finally bought new replacements. I had to remove maybe 14 screws to replace the joystick and it went rather smoothly. I did have to buy a 4-piece set of triangle head screwdrivers to remove the screws. WII U works like a champ now. Roughly $15.00 to make this repair, gotta love it.

One of our control sticks was failing. Bought this, used Ifixit website Nintendo Wii U GamePad Analog Stick Replacement by Kim Arre as a guide, and less than an hour later we were up and running. Note: before installation it may seem like sticks will get stuck all the way in one direction. Once installed ours didn’t and work exact same as original. I also bought the XOOL Triwing Screwdriver for Nintendo - Professional Full Triwing Screwdriver Repair Tool Kit,3.8mm and 4.5mm Security Screwdriver Game Bit Tool Set for Nintendo Switch Joycon/Nintendo Wii/DS/DSL/GBA for some of the specialty tool. That worked fine as well.

I carefully took my controller apart and repaired it fairly easily,very happy

Do they lock into position? Yes but only when not installed in the controller. The OEM sticks do as well. The controller is designed to restrict the joysticks from ever moving far enough to lock into position. Installing them instead of just complaining before trying will result in success. They fixed the drift issue on the wiiu I used them on

We have had our our Wii U since 2013. So its 9 years old. The dreaded thing happened, the controller started drifting. What to do?! After some research and a helpful website, iFixit, I knew what to order. This is the part!! If you are replacing one joystick, just go ahead and replace the other. Make sure you keep the new ones separate while pulling out the old ones. You may want to keep the old one that works just as a backup, label which side it belongs on. I recommend getting a small wii U tool kit as they are very helpful in changing this part out. This part brought our old wii u back to great working order!

Worked

I got 1 day shipping on these thanks to Prime, and they arrived the very next day! Perfect for repairing my stick drift on my Wii U gamepad. Thanks a ton!
