No Drift
Customers have mixed experiences with the joysticks regarding the issue of no drift.

Some customers also mentioned receiving joysticks that were beyond stiff.
Joystick Replacement
Customers have generally positive feedback regarding the joystick replacement kit, with many reporting successful repairs and an end to joycon drift issues. However, a significant number of customers have experienced issues with the joysticks themselves, including stick drift and unresponsiveness shortly after installation.
Highlights
Quality
Works perfectly after installing as new and is lasting very long as well, very good product
I got the set with the tools - the 2 screw drivers work great and feel good too.
Product failed after less than 3 month.
Difficult to grab anything with and they have so much flex that you can’t really get a good hold with them either.
Price
So glad i found this on amazon, for less than $20 i was able to fix my switch joycons and save $80.
Shipping
I live in europe (norway), so sending this abroad requires additional steps to get it right with customs.
Packaging/appearance
They are packed well, came with all the tools i needed and the addition of thumb stick caps is delightful.
