If you have a JoyCon controller for the Nintendo Switch and you are experiencing any of the following issues regarding the L ZL R ZR buttons, then this tutorial may help. Issues are: Activates on its own, loose feel, makes an odd noise, limited bounceback, only registers if I press hard, only registers sometimes, never registers, stuck in down position, stuck in up position, feels uneven. Some of the solutions involve cleaning, replacing buttons, examining ribbon cables, and replacing springs.
