Our Nintendo Switch (1) got dropped and the left joycon’s L took the brunt of the fall. I tried to unbend the old switch, but no luck. This microswitch and ribbon cable were the perfect fit and fix. This also replaces the “minus” button and that’s working too (but requires a firm pressure). The 2-pack is a good deal, too. Not easy (tiny screws and ribbon cables!),, but not too hard, thanks to YouTube channel called “How to X” and their vid named “How to Fix L ZL R ZR buttons on Switch Joy-Con Controllers | Stuck Trigger Bumper Shoulder Repair”. Review: Exact replacement for a broken L1 on Switch Joy-Con - My son dropped his Switch and the L1 no longer worked on the Joy-Con. This replacement works perfectly and is priced right, especially for 2 pieces. I'm sure he'll do it again, lol. The arrows on the first photo shows where it dented the top of the metal around the button that the L1 depresses which in turn moved the soldered connections off of the ribbons on the PCB just below it. I tested the old button with a meter and it still had continuity but the connections were no longer making solid contact. The second picture shows the PCB pieces I removed from the original to use as a backer for the replacement as it was a little flimsy. It will however work fine without the backer. If you cut off the pieces shown from the old cable, get a pair of needle nose to hold them with, and use a sharp razor blade, it only takes a few minutes to scrape the old solder and the printed (burnt orange part) of the circuit board off. Then just lay those pieces under the new part when installing it and it makes it much more solid. Probably a little overkill but it had the backer to begin with so I used it since I had it. ## Features - Compatible with: for Nintendo Switch Joy-Con. - Replace your broken , damaged, cracked and unusable Parts. - No need to pay for the high repair fee. - Material: Plastic, Metal - Professional skills needed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HK7TQN9 | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,151 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #26 in Nintendo Switch Repair Tools & Replacement Parts #144 in GEM Box Microconsole | | Brand | Ximimark | | Color | gray or silver | | Compatible Devices | Gaming Console | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 337 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Manufacturer | Ximimark | | Material | Plastic | | Mfr Part Number | XQJ=LY107-XQJ-FBA | | Model Number | XQJ=LY107-XQJ-FBA | | UPC | 657835616199 | | Unit Count | 2.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ximimark - **Color:** gray or silver - **Compatible Devices:** Gaming Console - **Material:** Plastic - **UPC:** 657835616199 ## Images ![Ximimark 2 Pcs L Button Key Ribbon Flex Cable Replacement Part for Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controller Buttons Cable GAI - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ieWpEAJyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great replacement for Switch (1) left Joycon L button *by C***. on September 22, 2025* Worked great fixing a smashed-in L button.

However like others, said the “-“ button is now harder to push. Unsure if this is user error by too tight of a screw or an issue with the replacement part itself. I rarely use the “-“ anyway so not too much of an issue tbh. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ximimark 2 Pcs L Button Key Ribbon Flex Cable Replacement Part for Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controller Buttons Cable Gai - Joycon Joystick Replacement 4 Pack, Replacement Joystick Analog Thumb Stick for Switch Joy-Con Controller & Switch Lite, Left/Right Analog Joystick with Thumbstick Grips & Screws - Triwing Screwdriver for Switch, Professional Repair Tool Kit for Joy-con Joystick Replacement with Tweezers, Opening Pry Bar & Suction Cup --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/145709856-ximimark-2-pcs-l-button-key-ribbon-flex-cable-replacement](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/145709856-ximimark-2-pcs-l-button-key-ribbon-flex-cable-replacement) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
