Introduction

The Nintendo Switch Lite does not have replaceable joy cons like the regular Nintendo Switch. Meaning that if any button on the console has an issue it has to be repaired. Some of the buttons that are used the most and have the most issues are the L and R buttons. The following guide is to replace a damaged or broken R button in a Nintendo Switch Lite.
