Hey @andrewifix! I’m sorry to say we don’t have a good guide for getting to the buttons on Joy-Con controllers yet. We do have a couple guides and a teardown that you can probably use to get most of the way there, though! Check these out:

Right analog stick replacement

Left analog stick replacement

Joy-Con teardown

If you decide to get in there and do some cleaning, take some photos and make a guide out of it, we’d love to have it!
