About this service
We fix analogue stick drift on Nintendo Switch Joy-Con and consoles (V1/V2, Lite, OLED) by replacing the worn stick module, so your controls stop moving on their own.
What is covered: the replacement stick and labour, backed by our 30-day warranty. Ask us about a hall effect upgrade that does not develop drift.
Not covered: water or physical damage, and drift caused by a separate fault we did not repair.
The most famous fault in gaming
Joy-Con drift needs no introduction: characters wander on their own, the camera creeps, and recalibrating helps for a week before it is back. The cause is wear inside the analog stick module, and the permanent fix is replacing the module rather than cleaning it.
We offer two levels: a standard stick replacement that restores factory behaviour, and hall effect upgrades that sense position magnetically, removing the wear mechanism that causes drift in the first place. Hall effect sticks are the buy once option.
Post your Joy-Cons in an envelope-sized parcel
Joy-Cons are the perfect mail-in repair: small, light and cheap to post. Book online from anywhere in Australia, choose Post it in, and a small parcel gets them here. Perth locals can drop off as usual and most drift repairs are same day.
Frequently asked questions
What does Joy-Con drift repair cost?
From $30 for a standard stick replacement to $60 for hall effect upgrades. The options and prices are shown when you book.
Should I get standard sticks or hall effect?
Standard sticks restore normal behaviour but can drift again eventually, because they wear the same way the originals did. Hall effect sticks work magnetically and are effectively immune to drift, which is why we recommend them for heavily used consoles.
Do you fix drift on the Switch Lite as well?
Yes. Lite sticks are built into the console, so it is a deeper job than a Joy-Con, but the same standard and hall effect options apply.
Can I post just the Joy-Cons instead of the whole console?
Yes, and it is the cheapest way. Unless the fault involves the console itself, posting only the controllers keeps the parcel small.
