Great video. I’ve taken apart many controllers over the years. Never opened up a Switch until today. I swapped over to some classic SNES. I have to admit it was a bit of a pain in the ass. This video helped though!
3:03 i dont care about the Joystick becuse its broken like dryed up and riped 🤓 16:20 smoll tip if it trigers you that the color that slide down doesnt match or the pair ones there is a Programm to Edit it Edit: i got sacond pair in case of something breaks i have something still to play but i did it completly works perfectly fine and funfact i nerver did something like this
2:15 i messed up; removed this ZL cable , i broke this tiny grey hinge accientally, tried to put the strip back in the place and glue it because i had no other options but the connection does not work anymore, tore it during the removal and now ordering a spare strip with button
I was a little hesitant about doing the swap but thanks to this guy I didn't have any problems and the job turned out perfect for being my first time❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know you haven't posted in months, but can you make a video on how to specifically chamge out the dpad/abxy buttons? Im trying to find a tutorial but i cant find one
I have ordered hall effect sticks to replace my old sticks, but I've always wantes to customize them like this, so I'm considering ordering shells and just doing it all at once. I'm not very experienced, but I've done some stuff. This doesn't seem as complicated as I was expecting. Thank you for the video.
This video is a life saver! Just completed the right joy con, right along with you, a few pause and rewind ⏪ for me lol, took me 1 hour & yes one spring flew away from me when removing the trigger button just like you mentioned haha luckily I found it … eventually.. next time I’ll put my hand in a bag while removing the trigger button lol, thank you so much! I’ll do the left tmrw. !
Ive taken apart my joycons several times for lots of different reasons (button replacement, joystick repair, etc) but ive never done a full shell swap, just ordered some new shells i cant wait to get them
Thank you man, I was so confident with your video and I kept pausing the vid after you showed every step and I successfully swapped my joy cons to a white shell for my oled because mine was second hand and came without them. If I ever need new joycons I would rather buy second hand ones and upgrade them with no drift joycons and a new shell. Im so happy with the result.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Too many of these that I find elsewhere just don't break things down enough. This was well explained throughout & set a good pace so nothing was missed.
I tried removing the clip for the vibration motor, but it doesn't come out easy the way it did for you. In fact, I think I might've cracked it with the tweezers from gripping it too hard. I guess I'm stopping here, because I don't want to break anything else.
Ok,So..Curious..As I Read On Reddit Where You Made Your Own Splatoon Joycons….And This Video Is The Linked One..Im Not Seeing Splatoon Here,Just Plain Shells
My husband doubted me when I dove into taking apart the joycon but this video was super helpful and was able to complete the right one. I tried to do the left joycon but the last screw is stripped and won't come out of the back of the shell so I'm satisfied with just changing one at this point, lol. But I feel confident now when I want to do it again in the future, Thank you!
The tutorial is excellent. I follow the steps and everything went perfect. Just one thing: the ZL button broke when i tried to take it out as it is said in the video. For me it wasnt a problem cause I was changing the buttons to white ones. Just for you to know. Thank you so much for the tutorial
I know this vid is 3 years old but I hope you understand how helpful this is. You made this look incredibly simple. Gonna look up the tools, pick out some nice new shells and come back to this vid. Much appreciated!
