Making Custom Lavender Joycons for the Switch 

Starting to see a lot of people concerned about the difficulty of this process and whether or not it's worth the risk. Would you guys be interested in a skin comparison vs shell swap video? 🤗 EDIT: The long awaited comparison video is here! If you're interested in skins go check it out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qvf8opYVkGw.html

Me before watching this video: TOTALLY GONNA TRY THIS **Jeff opens the joy con** Me: Nah I'm alright

See I thought he was just gonna paint it but he’s big brain

The pink bits actually look dope with the lavender. Also change your smoke detector battery.

Wow lavender works so well with the Switch. I'm so confused as to why Nintendo seems so hesitant with more unique special editions of the Switch. The 3DS had tons of amazing editions. The boldest design they've gone for so far has been the AC one and merely for the fact that it's the only one with a completely different dock color (IIRC). The Switch has so much potential for mixing and matching different colors, too. A Lavender Switch would've worked well with FE: Three Houses imo.

"don't feel bad stealing from amazon, they paid 0 taxes last year" instant sub.

For the camera/audio and humor quality you are too underrated

And this is why Nintendo needs to let people customize their Joy-cons like how Microsoft does custom controllers.

A moment of silence for those who tried this and destroyed their Switch

Subscribed cause the editing is A+ and i love the lack of music.

Me : this can’t be to hard...... Him: brings a whole freaking surgical kit out.🤣🤣

The lack of music is surprisingly really satisfying, and makes it really peaceful to watch

why cant nintendo just take the opportunity and release new color choices!?

Dude the editing, the lighting, shot composition, audio quality. Beautiful. Great job on the video!

The one dislike is from amazon

Dammit Jeff: YES! I made lavender joycons! Nintendo: **releases lavender joycons**

A moment of silence for all those who can’t buy a switch , cause they are all sooold Out..

this is honestly like an asmr video lmaoo it’s so nice and aesthetic with the simple editing and your voice so so calming :))

Honestly, I think the lavender+green combo was really cool, maybe even better than both lavenders together

The purple and green looked nice!!

wow, you only have 309 subscribers? could’ve sworn you’d have at least 20k ! awesome video and editing, straight to the point and no annoying music. i like how you messed up a few times bc nobody ever shows that swapping shells can be annoying and hard! and the amazon bit was just awesome lol. subbed :-)

In the future maybe buying the black controllers and doing that would be better so it won't have those colorful controllers

“Don’t feel bad stealing from Amazon, guys. They literally paid $0 in taxes last year” okay king

I tried this myself a few months ago when changing the left stick to fix drift, and wasn't sure why my right joycon is bulging (and still is). Thanks for pointing that part out!

me: sees thumbnail and title also me watching: never mind

Can’t believe that this guy only has 91 subs! His video quality is so good!

“Don’t feel bad stealing from Amazon” wow my favorite channel now, thank you Comrade.

The weirdest “asmr” on the planet

Im gonna give this ago, even though I have no self control and will absolutely break the joy cons :,)

I just did a swap and honestly from the way people talked, I thought it was going to be so much worse. Compared to doing a full shell swap on a DS Lite, this was cake. Can't even think of ribbon cables without DS Lite flashbacks. That super short cable on the right ended up getting busted on mine but I had a sacrificial joy con and I found on the second go that it's much easier if you do not disconnect the cable from the board. Instead you take off the shoulder button and unscrew it, then just gently keep it out of the way while dissembling the rest. I don't think I even disconnected some of the tiny cables and just took the board with the piece underneath right out. Another tip, when putting the shoulder button back on, it's easier if you find the part that clicks to the case and line it up, then press down. The most I had to do was tilt it slightly it so the parts locked together. I say this only because I noticed some people just put it in the general area and then try to force it down, without finding the little bit that the button latches onto before hand. The springs can go on at any point.

This honestly felt like a bob Ross video and that just felt so awesome, you gained a sub today

3:17 gentle (ᵔᵕᵔ)..... *Fuhhk ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)*

I’m definitely trying this since I can finesse Amazon if I fuck it up 😂

subbing as soon as i heard steal from amazon, hello comrade

First sign that you’re a tech dude is you not getting discouraged easily from all the stuff inside the controls. I would’ve freaked and closed it back up before giving it a shot. This video was like asmr but for my eyes haha nice!

we need more of this and less of the "oficial pro youtuber" stuff. Way to go. Here's my sub.

Ngl the only thing holding me back from the switch or switch is lack of lavender/white option lol my 2ds is lavender and I need a switch to match lololol

tf? dude before reading this one comment saying you’re underrated, I totally thought, you have like at last a few thousand subs... well you got my sub!

though it was Much much harder, when i reshelled my two pairs of joycons, i kept all the ribbon cables attached so as not to accidentally bend or rip them. definitely added an hour or two to the process but it was absolutely worth it!! only one screw got stripper in the end :)) they’re white and pink with alternating white and pink buttons!! i wish i would’ve filmed the process to make an actual guide from someone who really doesn’t know anything about tech, but i had no way to do that in a professional manner :(( but i love that you did this, and i love how your joycons came out!! very pretty

I would do this...but I'm too scared of messing something up! Nice joy-cons, though!

You could probably get like a vinyl sticker for the middle part

Jerf! Holy shit bro good to see you making content again!

I like how you can just asmr like, and you can hear everything and it’s not like he has styrofoam around his place. I wish there were more people like this.

HI for anyone who has trouble with the trigger springs, please for the love of god do this to make it easier for yourself! Put the one towards the inside in first and click the trigger on, Then for the outer one you can just squeeze the spring within your tweasers and place it in the hole, use the peg to pull the tweezers out and it will easily go back into place. :D

Can’t wait to do this to my controllers 🤯

Waiiiiiiit i neeeeeed! My hair is lavender bruh. I will buyyyyy hahaha

I know this isnt a full guide, but I still keep watching it over and over again because the whole vibe and editing is really nice and I cant stop looking at the finished joycons

omg that moment when you changed the joycons in the switch lavender was doooopee! nice job

They look so cute! I wish this was a real color!

Sunstone: *Remember kids, don’t try this at home*

the fire alarm chirp in the background was a nice touch to the video

idk y nintendo is not comin out w this color already im sure their sales will go up everyone is in love w this color nice job man did a great job

These are beautiful I’ve just a got a new skin for mine

“Shouldn’t be that hard” I said to myself. Nah frick that I’ll just get skins.

Me: confussled about how he took apart the joy cons Jeff: "The 3ds was definitely much worse" Me: ...

i have to keep that program at the end in mind! i just recently customized my switch and made the whole thing baby pink, so having matching joycons when i connect them would be awesome

Goshh.. this is a reallyy hard process

okay i just found out that if you change the joycon colors in the system, when you play pokemon sword/shield, the color of the switch in your room in game will match your customized color! im in love. (btw i started shield after customizing my joycons so idk if it works when you started playing before)

"Dont feel bad stealing from amazon" jeff hows it feel to be my favorite? Tech asmr, voice asmr, and comrade asmr. You've got it all

Great video! Part of me was worrying about how long your dying fire alarm was beeping for, because that noise haunts me from my childhood haha.

Wait, you only have 113 subs. Should have ten times that

I got drifting on my switch so might do this too while fixing😂

I really admire the style of your videos. The lack of music and the presentation are really relaxing.

goddamn.. that custom colour detection is amazing

This post is quite long which I will talk about my experience of modding the switch and offer some insight and solutions for the same issue ^^ I have modded my switch so I could have that beautiful baby pink color 😍❤️, and I did it!! Everything was working just fine but after a week the right Joy-Con was no longer can be played while it’s detached from the switch which it was fine by me at first, but then slowly it was getting worse. It became unplayable on free mode + it can’t be charged. I kept investigating on the issue and I finally got to the conclusion that it has to be the fiber that’s responsible for the sync. Aaand it turned out that one of the fibers was indeed severely bent which it can be hard if not impossible for the nodes to flow the way it should be which means the signal is heavily distorted 🤦🏻‍♀️. From what I could tell that is the original shape and position that came from Nintendo. Note: when the fiber is bent is not always means that the Joy-Cons will not be playable but it indicate that the durability and the likelihood of it life cycle will be much shorter than it should. I understand that Nintendo wanted a portable console with mini Joy-Cons, but forcing the size to be slim and small with cheep material is definitely not the way to go 😫. Don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan of Nintendo, but I can’t help but wish if they just increased the quality of their material a little 😩 and here is the suggested solution for this issue if anyone facing the same thing: - if the fiber is not severely bent but the signal is quite distorted. You can fix this issue by simply using a tape on the fiber bent part so it will not be heavily bent. Of course this would be a temporary solution because naturally with time the fiber will get bent again because of how small the Joy-Cons is😥. - If the fiber severely bent and the signal almost not existed then the only way is to buy a fiber part and replace it. Fibers a good materials when it comes to speed but it needs the right space to keep the signal flow as it should. Note: and of course if you still have the warranty you can go to any Nintendo shop and they will replace it for you❤️ I got to admit their services are amazing ❤️

imagine trusting yourself enough and having patience to actually do this-

I loved the lavender and green together 😩😩😩

His hair is majestic and also this was awesome thank you!

"Making" is a strong word for a shell swap

This makes me want a nerdy boyfriend who does stuff like this for me 🥰

This whole video is appealing. Good tutorial, bomb editing, the no music almost asmr tone to the video 10/10. You earned a sub.

This video was so calming and was so happy when u showed us your outside and were going to pick up tomorrow made the video feel so much more real

Jeff wow man really enjoyed the video keep it up love this content :) tbh if I did this I woulda just yanked everything and broken it 😂😂😂

I bought new shells and I'm afraid to do this

I’m looking at the packaging for your joycons and I live in Canada and the packaging quality is wayyyyy better here

Wow! I Myself was going to buy some lavender shells for my joycons, these turned out amazing

Ohhh yea

How many likes for a hair reveal

I think the purple and the green together looked dope

I honestly like the green that was left kinda gives it a retro neon vibe

Ohhhh good lord I thought I wanted to try that but... nevermind... I would have stabbed myself a few times if I were you lol

ok, I'll go with a skin :v

The lack of music is actually so much better. More videos need to be produced like this

istg seeing you doing this makes me super anxious... but the video is super nice and so is the result! I love your style of editing, i'll probably sub

it's okay, i just stick with the sticker.

How many likes for a face reveal

I have got to say joycons are really easy to take apart and put back together .

Idk why but im so strangely endeared to you through this video, smth about you disliking amazon and bein o out and proud about it, and showing the process so simply and fully , it' nice to watch. Im subbed.

the fire alarm beeping in the background made me lose my mind thinking it was in my house

Why do you only have 3k subs?! I was expected like 1 million! That's what you deserve!

( 8:24 ) Jeff: now onto the right one My dumbass: wait there was a wrong one?

i kinda like the different pop of colour by the trigger on the purple! it makes it even more unique

This video game me anxiety, peace, nostalgia, a bit of mellow, & just which I have a steady hand to switch skins lol

That's fun that pink and green Joy-cons are not on the same side according to the country, mine are green on left and pink on right

Your comments are hilarious. I'm living for this video 😂😂😂 Nice job btw. Looks really nice💜

Great video! I love how the A/c is playing in the back. Make the video more enjoyable and relaxing 😌

I really love the fact that you dont put any music in the background Your voice is also really sweet to listen to UwU Anyway that guide was really helpful thank youuu!!!

I recently swapped out the shell of my joycons! First time I had troubles with the ribbon cable for the ZR-Button, but other than that, swapping even the middle part worked completely fine. It might have been the shell in your case - can recommend those from ExtremeRate! I didn't know of the program though, that's super cool! changing the color is what I needed :)

The lavender/green combo is perfect for an Evangelion aesthetic
