An updated version of replacement trigger for Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers (found on Makeronline). This one was created to be less blocky and have a little bit more of a 'click'. It also sports a smooth grip for a satisfying texture.
Due to hundreds (maybe even thousands) of games of Super Smash Bros, and 112% playthrough of Hollow Knight, and many other games I play on the regular, my Pro Controller's Zr trigger finally broke. It was still half usable- but it was noticeably loose and shaky whenever it was used. I dissembled the controller (a fairly easy task, by the way) removed the worn trigger, and got to designing. Had I a 3D scanner this would have been so much easier...
I recommend printing this in resin, just for precision. It can be mirrored to work as a ZL trigger, just with backward ZR text.
INSTALLATION
Using a small screwdriver, unscrew and remove each of the controller's grips. Then remove the back of the controller after unscrewing its attached screws. You should see small metal bars that the ZR/ZL trigger are on; use pliers to pull out the bar of the trigger you plan to replace. Remover, the trigger, then insert the replacement. Make sure the replacement trigger's hinges are aligned with the metal bar as you push it back in through the hole. Push it through both holes on the trigger as far as it will go. Reassemble the controller, then you're good to go!
