hello guys, small update after a few months. one of the two analogs died with dignity (lol) since as if on purpose I'm playing starfox adventure... there is a specific level where you have to keep the cursor inside the green bar with the left analog... with the current analog of the previous photos it is practically impossible being very sensitive and at the slightest movement you become defeated starting the level again.... accepting that by now the analog was ko (also inverted with the left...) also trying sensitivity calibrations and other things it was still very difficult to overcome that level, so I bought these:
Joystick Hall Effect

they are much more stable and less sensitive, after only 4-5 attempts I managed to pass the level without too much effort... so actually at least as a first effect I recommend them if someone has to create his own laptop or repair his switch

Cool! That’s weird those didn’t work for me :( As soon as I turned the portable off and on again, left stick was going crazy. Normal sticks don’t do that for some reason :rothink:

I noticed that unfortunately it happens when the batteries are almost at 0% probably the voltage reaches critical levels and the controller no longer works correctly... when I can I have a good gaming session but they definitely seem far superior!

Yeah I had to reset GC+ and calibrate the sticks every time I wanted to play.
Hmm I used a GameCube controller cable, so I don’t think it was a battery issue or something. Even if I disconnected the left stick and plugging back in it was going crazy the exact same way. I don’t know why only the left stick did that. Even if I swapped with the C stick it didn’t work better :rothink:
