Haven't really tried ordering from those sites yet as the shipping and tax are a huge concern for me especially where I live, but I might check my local online shopping site, though the problem too is that I saw how they open the controller and I know it's not as easy as when I was opening PS1 controllers, really afraid of destroying the thing as a result, but will try to open it if I get the funds for the joycons first just in case.

they are really really a ton of parts and ribbons inside this, tearing any of which (bar the stick you're taking out) will mean the controller is pretty much dead, but the thing with me was, I had 2 choices, buy a replacement or fix it, and since the "fix it" option cost me 3e (I already had the tri wing for opening retro carts) I really wasn't going to be losing too much by trying that first, heck if I ripped it and had to bin the controller I was going to be down 43e instead of 40, figured it was worth the gamble.

Here's the video I followed to replace mine, you'll wanna watch it before you even consider buying the part as if it looks too complicated to go into you are better off just to go for the new joycon or ask someone you know who is good with tech/very dexterous at small fixes.

I think I might end up buying a new one, and thanks for the video btw, I might do some tinkering with the old ones for practice.
