I have been working on several different projects with my switch for a while now, and I recently re-shelled my JoyCons. In the process, I accidentally lost the hinge that holds the ribbon cable for the lights and side buttons in the connector. I looked online and I didn't find anything about it, so I'm assuming I'm basically screwed and will have to buy a new JoyCon board. Is there any way to replace/fix this without getting a new board?

A quick Google search found this:
https://www.sintech-shop.de/en/conn...t-suitable-for-nintendo-switch-joycon/a-10523

It’s a German website but I’m sure there are others. If you don’t have soldering skills I’m sure you can transfer the hinge over with little effort

    I guess it's useful if your landlord doesn't let you rewire the apartment or change the switches.

    Having a remote servo that can push/pull something for you is still useful.

    It could operate a latch.

    On the other hand there are those chandeliers with like 50 lightbulbs and that would be a bit expensive to replace with smart bulbs.

    Anbernic's SP clone will be $60 and I think I'll buy it. Looks decent enough and it will stop me from drooling over every single new handheld that comes out.
