Give me Spice Orange or give me death.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Considering regular ol' cons are like 80 for a pair, at that point you might as well go to 150 for customs and get exactly what you want.

 

[ResidentWeevil13]

I did this as you can see couple posts above and it feels 100% same as original (as long as you do it properly). There is a youtube tutorial to do this. And you can buy colored new 3ds buttons quite cheaply from aliexpress.

Did you follow any video tutorial or anything? I would love to have these buttons

You have my axe

Not much of a "mod" but I ordered blue joycon replacement shells and a blue grip off of AliExpress


Definitely not as easy as I thought it would be to swap them around. Nintendo really packed a lot of stuff into these!

Could you post a link to the shells? I found two different ones that I'm not sure are the correct ones. Thanks in advance.
I will probably put some conductive foam in there to fix the signal problem as well...

 

[RootCause]

Those look amazing. We need atomic purple asap.

 

[Meohsix]

How hard is it to take it apart? I would love to try swapping the buttons myself.

Opening the joycon is the easy part. The 3DS buttons DO NOT just fit into the joycon. You have to do major modifications to the buttons to get them to work. Check YouTube there's some video tutorials.

It took about a month to get to me from China.

 

[Blam]

Only good ones are the n3ds button switching and the gamecube color scheme.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Wow these look great. I wonder how they actually handle.

[Zee_truly evil]

This reminds me. Are there replacement analog sticks available for the joy con yet? I broke mine about a month back.

 

[Jintor]

damn

nintendo better get on this shit asap too

 

[Billy_Pilgrim]

The translucent purple one is sex.

 

[watershed]

These custom joycon look awesome. I've never invested in console mods before though. I like the grey & black basic Switch.

 

[EricB]

And they have arrived. I ended up going with a different SNES paint job from XLTeam rather than the set from Doyle's Customs. These weren't glossy and were a bit more accurate to the original SNES

.

Some people seem pretty down on the American SNES aesthetics, but having just had to sell off/throw out a bunch of my childhood stuff before heading back to Korea, I am happy to have something that brings me back to that place and time. The paint job itself is fantastic and looks completely professional. I'm very happy with how they look, particularly when detached from the console.

 

[fernoca]

Oh my...beautiful.

Someone adopt me or make me your sex slave, just gift a set to me.

 

[ciD_Vain]

Been trying to customize joy cons myself. Still learning the proper process.

 

[Malyse]

My wants are quite simple.

[BobbyColtrane]

I bought the NES color scheme. Not proud of myself of dropping $200 on them, but I had to do it.

They're supposed to ship in another 10 days or so, I'll update with pics when they arrive.

 

[Hugstable]

Not sure if anyone is selling it yet though.

I want this, but rather have the Dpad replace the left stick and keep the lower buttons. Makes it easier to hold switch in portable mode

 

[Mexen]

I'm legit jealous of Switch owners.

But then you've made that Joycon useless for most games.

that looks so good........ except for those arrows on the left joycon. whoever thought that was a good idea was drunk

 

[Symphonia]

Does anyone have a link to the Gamecube Joycon?

ok now that is sexy af

 

[robot]

Think i might get my painted for the simple fact that 85+ hours of Zelda + clammy hands wore out the matte finish around the buttons.

 

[Tain]

you're gonna call the yellow ugly and then carry on and post that monstrous Super Nintendo Switch grip? smh

 

[MadJackChurchill]

Tears are in my eyes. They're so beautiful. :'(

 

[EricB]

Yes.

 

[Gradon]

I really wanna do the SNES buttons / Super Famicom buttons mod but it looks complex.

Same here. That's why I jumped on the opportunity to just buy a right joy con already modded.


Here is another dpad mod:

The modder actually has a whole album showing the process.

And here is a video showing the previous dpad mod listed in this thread in action.

Holy crap this is incredible. I need to get out of this thread...

 

[Coketruck]

As much as I love the SNES ones in EricB's post, there's no way on God's green earth I'm paying that much for another set of controllers. I'll just wait and hope for an official Nintendo release of something similar.

I mean, they have to release retro Joy-Cons at some point in the future, right?

 

[shandy706]

$250?!?! Wut?

Was shocked till I went to the link.

There's some really good work there.

 

[depths20XX]

$250 for this ugly ass thing? Yikes.

 

[DESTROYA]

Love the colored buttons mod but lack the skills or time to do myself, you know at some point NINTENDO will make a set themselves or be fools not to, they would make a killing.

 

[Deku Tree]

I just want to buy some Mario Odyssey Joycon's and a Mario Odyssey Pro controller from Nintendo.

 

[ciD_Vain]

I colorized my grey one tonight. It's not so bad after doing it once before.

I photoshopped this! This was my girlfriend's dream switch until she gave up waiting and ordered metallic pink Joy cons from colorware instead omg

I'll post those in this thread when we get them!

 

[EricB]

My second set has arrived:

I had to balance out my nostalgia for the American SNES theme with my longstanding desire to actually have a Super Famicom.

Like the SNES set, these look better disconnected from the actual unit (unless I get that painted as well...), but they still strike a chord in me.

I'm done blowing cash (gained from selling my childhood videogame collection mind you) on Joy Cons for the summer, but eventually I'd like to get something that looks better on the Switch itself. That Gamecube set looks pretty sweet...

 

[Kovacs]

My second set has arrived:

Up until 30 seconds ago I was really, really satisfied with my neon yellows and had no desire for another pair of joycons.

 

[Gradon]

oh my god I need those so bad. Im so glad the UK grew up with the SFC colours they are gorgeous x_x

 

[Red]

Man... I love colored buttons. They look great on the joycons.

Very pricy, but the design is too awesome and the NES was my first console. Even Nintendo could not design a better looking NES Joy-Con. So I ordered it up as a birthday gift to myself. I love the red buttons on the right and that the left buttons looks like a D-Pad. That said, Nintendo needs to make a D-Pad ladden Joy-Con like ASAP.

One day I will use these NES Joy-Cons to play Super Mario Bros. 3 on Switch's Virtually Console. That will be an awesome day indeed.

 

[Kurt]

It would be a bit expensive, but you could buy new set of joycons and create something like this :
