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

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

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.

One month in, great replacement part - feels closer to the Switch Pro Controller stick than the Wii Us original stick but that is a good thing for me personally.

I have never worked on electronics before, though I know my way around tools (around the house). Its pretty straight forward. I didnt even watch a Youtube video before. Just look at what screws are in your way and remove those. Put them in a box, preferable white or light colored so you can find them again easily. The screws inside are a 3 star shape, which thankfully this kit comes with. Make sure you change out the white cable too. The original one is soldered on. I thought I had to keep the old one, but the old white cable didnt fit into the new joysticks. Then I realized the white cables needed to be changed also. The new white cables just click on. Very easy. Make sure everything is clean before you reassemble. If you spilled soda or whatever on your controller make sure its all clean while you have it open! Wii U controller works great now. No more sticky controls.

Horrible the sticks stay stuck on or whatever direction you move it and let it gowould show you pics but I got a new phone and lost my pics

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

We recieved both a Left and a Right joystick, however the Left one does not work. Would be a great product if both were functional.

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

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.

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