Quick Fix for the L Button

The fastest way to deal with a problematic L button is to give it a good clean. Sometimes, dust and debris can get trapped around the button, causing it to stick or not respond properly. Start by turning off your Nintendo Switch and gently blowing around the L button. You can also use a soft, dry toothbrush to carefully brush around the button.

If cleaning doesn’t do the trick, you might need to reset your controller. Just detach it from the console, wait a few seconds, and then reattach it. This simple step can sometimes magically get your L button working again!
