Hi Nick, people have been reporting that the newer joycons have a different sized fitter and the older replacement parts do not fit properly unfortunately.
I am sorry you have having issues. It appears that the newer joycons are using a different part. A user posted this on my other guide for the Right Joy-Con…
“Caution: it appears the new joycon have a revised analog stick and the older replacement sticks will Not work. This is from an evening of research and taking apart 5 controllers. Nothing official.
New joycon have an analog stick with an “H" pattern pressed into the metal back of the stick. Older replacement sticks have an “X" imprinted and older joycon look like they have an “#".
It looks like the “#" and the “X" are interchangeable but the cable on the “H" are thinner. So the motherboard won't accept the older thicker style.
I've spent a few hours on this and have broken two replacement sticks finding this out. I haven't found anything official about Nintendo changing the sticks but I guess they eventually would to prevent the drift issue.”
Thank you Scott for finding this out!
It is the same part!
I'm so glad that I was able to help you!
Drift can be cause by a few different things. Dirt and dust gets stuck under the small rubber cap on the base of the joystick and can cause sticking or drift. If that's the case you can take a q-tip and clean it out. Takes two minutes and requires no disassembly. I'd try that first and if that doesn't work a replacement should fix it!
You're welcome I'm glad I could assist you in your repairs!
