Perfect!
Easy to install! My thumbstick broke off my 3DS XL a few years ago and this is a perfect replacement. Feels just like the original. The tools included are nice and make it easy. Just look up a video tutorial if you’re confused. It seemed to stick at first, but pressing on it clicked it into place. Also, make sure your volume slider is in the right position before reassembling.

Supe easy installation
Was originally just looking for the buttons as I typically don't like adding to my collection of random tools I'll never use again lol, but they are nice to get the job done with nothing else. Also the tweezers are really nice so I'll be using that for other stuff, as well as the pry tools. Comes with three screw bits, pretty sure you only need one to remove the back plate, then the cover, and finally the joystick assembly. Be sure to take out your SD card before lifting off the cover. Also, there's a screw hidden behind the game cartridge as well as underneath the two small rubber feet on the back. The actual analog stick is great! Feels pretty similar to the original from what I remember. Just look up a tutorial on youtube and it takes like five minutes. It needs to be seated properly back in the joystick assembly/board, so if it's not moving smoothly, it's not in properly. Also be sure to reseat the thin, plastic gaskets.

Great, not silicone tho
It’s great. I love that it comes with two so now I have a backup. Something you might want to know is that it is not the same material as the original 3ds, instead of a soft silicone it’s made out of plastic. Not a big deal to me, it still feels wonderful to play with, but it might be to you. For me it feels like it will last longer with this material. I included some photos of my old one next to it for comparison. It definitely makes my old one look worn out! The gray matches my old one very nicely, just less dirty lol. It might just be in my head but it seems smaller? I think it has to do with my old one being worn out so much that it’s flattened out a bit. (Old is on top/right, new is bottom/left in photos, any pic of ds is with new) It makes my 3ds feel new again, would definitely buy again.

A good joystick replacement with a good toolset.
Glad to have bought this, cause my Special edition Tony Chopper One Piece 3DSLL/XL joystick was deteriorating. (I'm assuming because of age because every use kept withering it away.) This is a good temporary replacement untill I can find one a bit softer like the original. Fits well and the installation prices was pretty smooth. Also, yeah like you'll probably read in every other review. It is a bit plasticky feeling than the original, but I wouldn't say to the point where it's in any way uncomfortable in use. I really do like all the tools it comes with though as it comes with plenty. My only criticism with the tool set is that I wish the tool set came with a better tool that removed the 2 back screw cushions a bit better because when I use the tweezers it came with. It destroyed the back two screwdriver cushions leading me to having to replace them. I don't necessarily blame the tool sets too much because those cushions are like damn near impossible to remove and were really hard, even when I tried removing them with my nail, but I just thought this to be cautionary to anybody else that might find that important.

Very Good!
Still not perfect, but so so much better than the replacement circle pads I used 5 or so years ago which were too small and chipped easily. This one looks pretty close to OEM, glides well, and is the correct size. It is still not rubber like OEM, but feels plenty grippy and will get the job done. The included tools are also pretty good for this and other projects!

Perfect
This set was perfect for replacing the thumb pad on my 3ds!! I would 100% recommend if you needed to replace your thumb pad.

Exactly what I needed
The kit is great and the stick is just what I needed. It seems a little smaller than the original on my 2DS, but I can't see or feel any difference after it was installed.

Great product.
These are accurate, grippy, and more robust than the original circle pad thumb pads. Would recommend. The grippy tops don’t get slippery and sticky either finger oils like the originals.

Lo que uno esperaría
La textura de las gomas es buena y se sienten suficientemente resistentes. Son el producto que uno busca por y como vienen dos repuestos y las herramientas necesarias para su cambio, no se siente como un robo por el precio.
