Does your Nintendo Switch Joycon drift? Come with me on an adventure of repair to alleviate your despair! In this video I open up a drifty right-joycon and even though I mess up at first I'm able to get back into it and have good results. It's a bit of a long video but stick with it and you'll learn what to-do and what not to-do. Here's a break-down of the video:

00:00 - 01:41 Intro
01:42 - 04:26 Opening the joycon
04:26 - 05:50 Removing the Joystick
05:58 - 06:47 Opening the joystick case
06:48 - 08:00 Result of first try (FAIL)
08:00 - 13:45 2nd attempt w/cleaning and disassembly
13:45 - 16:40 Reassembling the joystick case
16:41 - 17:13 Putting the joystick case back in place
17:14 - 18:19 Measuring the joystick case and placing the paper backing
18:20 - 18:59 Reassembling the joycon
19:00 - 22:16 Final result (SUCCESS!)

I hope this is helpful and entertaining. In hindsite, I would recommend you try the paper backing first before you disassemble the joystick case. Otherwise, if you really have to now you know how to do it and what not to screw up (like I did). Enjoy!
