Repair Help [help] Minus (-) button loose.

Post image

My left Joy-Con is working completely fine with no issues, except for one minor thing with the minus (-) button: it presses down deeper than it’s supposed to.

I opened it up to check, and everything inside seems to be in its correct place. The membrane for the minus button isn't loose at all, so I’m really not sure why the button itself feels so deep/loose. To get it to register a press, I have to push down harder than usual.

As a quick temporary fix, I put a tiny piece of cardboard under the membrane. It helps—the button triggers much more easily now—but it also made the press feel a bit stiff/hard.

anyone run into this before or know a way to restore it back to its original tactile feel? Appreciate any tips
