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

The first one I ordered was defective. I contacted Rinbers and they responded very quickly asking what I wanted to do. I decided to get a replacement, it shipped and arrived quickly and works fine. Great customer service, thank you!

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

gave life back to my broken wiiu gamepad. easy install and cheap 10/10

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.

These replacement controllers worked great, and I was pleasantly surprised to find some included screwdrivers. Follow the instructions on iFixit to install them.

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 great to replace drifting analog sticks on wiiu gamepad. No more drifting! Just make sure you look carefully to the orientation when replacing the originals, it could easily get confusing not being able to tell which is left or right. Otherwise a relatively easy fix for an annoying problem.

Perfect fit. Just recommend buying the special screwdriver to open the game console.

Simple install and thankfully included the triwing screwdriver and a small Philips screwdriver. Only installed the left side but drift issue is fixed. Note: there are 10 screws to remove before you even get to the good stuff. I reused the factory wire harness as the included replacement was longer than necessary. Lots of youtube videos that will help. Difficulty rating 3/10
