Beaupretty Metal 5 Pairs Replacement Lock Buckle for Controller Repair Latches Gamepad Lock Compatible for Switch

The original plastic one always seem to shave off, making the joycons no longer able to lock in place. I have had any issues with these shaving off. They hold both joycons firmly in place.

For such a cheap price, and quite possibly the easiest fix on a joycon I have done, this should be standard. The metal buckles against the metal rails hold well and don't chip like the default plastic ones do. Simple, effective, and now I don't have a 5 year old dropping the switch when the latch fails. Everyone is happy.

Bought these to upgrade my joycons as I was already reshelling them and swapping out joysticks and these little buckles are amazing! You can feel a significant difference immediately, way less wobble and a more sturdy feel.

Saved me from buying new joycons work amazing, they should come with these from new!

These "Lock Buckles" are good. They replaced the ones in the joycons, which can easily be compromised by too much pressure. I replaced four pairs by watching a youtube video, and other than a spring that shot out across the room and took 10 minutes to find, it was reasonably straightforward. Ensure you have a good set of screwdrivers because this set does not include them.
