Hi, I have a problem with my Switch Pro Controller. Left Joystick is sending the data “Down”. But, I opened my controller as far as I could, and seems to be an issue on the “rotation detecters”, inversed/broken; or the motherboard is broken ? Here’s my internal joystick.
I suppose the blue-green piece at right is for up/down motion And on the bottom, this is for left/right motion BUT The piece at right seems to be unusable AND The strangest thing, it’s when there is “contact” on the bottom piece (which should control Left/Right motion, not Up/Down) that I have the “Down” data sent. Look at the photo : it’s when I put this little circle piece that I have the issue.
When I fill it in, BOUM, it sends the Down data. I don’t know what to do. Change just the blue-green piece ? I don’t understand how it’s possible to have this issue. Maybe my motherboard or the connections are broken ? Here is a picture :

Hi! Tbh I always replace the entire joystick when this happens. The costs are pretty low. The only thing is that you need some experience with desoldering and soldering. And if you replace it, make sure you remove the old solder and clean it.
