Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Front Button Replacement
Introducción
Ir al paso 1The front buttons on a Nintendo switch pro controller are supposed to be free flowing and have lightning fast response time. If your controller is not performing at the highest level it can then that means you will keep losing games. The controller has to be the best it can possibly be so that you can play up to your ultimate potential. If your front buttons are sticky, unresponsive, or will not press down all the way, use this guide to remove and replace your buttons. This guide requires a Phillips #00 screwdriver for screw removal.

I broke the locking tab on the ZIF connector what can I do?
I’ve been looking myself and can’t find any replacement button board to buy - just asking again if anyone knows how to find or where to buy one?
if anyone else is reading this article... I easily found a nice set of replacement buttons that fit well on zedlabz. they're made in china and they are good quality rigid plastic with pleasant texturizing so they are easy to grip and press. happy fixing!
Be carefull, these screws are super easy to strip even with the right tools.

I tried editing these instructions after I had trouble with stripping screws, but it doesn't seem to take. The issue is that these are JIS and not Phillips screws. They are VERY similar looking but a Phillips head screwdriver will strip the screws.

Don't even think about trying Phillips. There are some other guides online that say you'll be fine, but they're wrong. Even one attempt with Phillips WILL strip these, and you will never, ever get this controller open once that happens. Even with JIS they're really hard to get out and really easy to strip.
