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!

Phenomenal quality, feels like factory. Very easy to replace.

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!

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.

Only needed the left, but it worked perfect

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

Both my original and replacement order were defective. None of the joysticks recenter themselves. So now Ive wasted a week on a job that should have taken 10 minutes

Worked

My husbands wii u gamepads left analog stick was sticking horribly. It would continuously think my character was moving to the left. Turns out, the cats at his old place somehow sprayed the gamepad and there was a lot of residue inside causing the analog stick board to be corroded. This was the best deal I could find. I only used the left one because his gamepad was hardly used. It works perfectly and its like brand new!

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