6:20 Cutting / Modding the buttons
9:45 Gluing the buttons
11:32 Joy-Con reassembly
14:23 The final result
So as I was saying, I always loved the SNES controller color scheme, and when the Nintendo Switch got out, I was quite disappointed.
I've always wanted a SNES themed Joy-Con controller. The problem is that Nintendo didn't do one (I'm sure they will, but I wanted it now).
So I decided to modify my JoyCon and transform it into a SNES themed Joy-Con, with the colored ABXY buttons.
What I did was order some New 3DS buttons online, and mod them to fit the Joy-Con. The good thing is that the New 3DS buttons are almost the same size as the Joy-Con buttons. At least the diameter is, and that's what matters!
I had to modify the original buttons and unify them with the New 3DS ones.
Check this full tutorial to know how to make your own SNES JoyCon, using parts from the Nintendo New 3DS. You'll see how to interchange the buttons and put the New 3DS buttons into the Nintendo Switch JoyCon.
This color scheme was also present on the Super Famicom controller, so we could say this is a Super Famicom themed Joy-Con as well! 😁
You'll love this Joy-Con modding guys!
I do a Switch JoyCon teardown, do the mod, and then reassemble the Joy-Con.
Now, someone needs to find how to put a D-PAD in the left Joy-Con! 😅
Looking for these buttons online? Just go to ebay and type "ABXY replacement new 3ds".
I hope this HowTo is useful for you guys, and as always, drop some THUMBS UP, and SUBSCRIBE for more!
Take care mates! 😉

Hey its been a good three weeks. have you seen anything on the buttons you wish you did differently? (knit picky things)
The buttons are holding well, no problems so far 😊 I hope they don't pop off! 😂
JordiPower De casualidas eres español o lo hablas (se medio oye así, if not, you're not be able to understand that) :v
Tototube tiene que ser español
JordiPower es verdad seguro que eres español, por la pronunciación xD
Wonderful stuff, would love to have the courage to do this to mine!
Nintendo Life wassup!
you could always buy an extra pair of grey ones it if you screw it up, also love your content
i wouldent do it i bet the buttons will fall off very quickly since its held with just glue
Nintendo Life I love you're videos!
Nintendo Life thanks a lot, man! 😉 You have a wonderful channel by the way!👌
There is nothing about this video that I didn't enjoy. Right down to the commentating of Metal Slug. Lol. Loved the video. Automatic subscribe.
Brandon Carcano thanks a lot, man! Appreciate it! 😉
We need to see reply vids of cut fingers and blood all over new buttons.
yeah this was pretty amazing i enjoyed it alot
Brandon Carcano Same here! Auto sub!
you're right I'm subscribing too!
Color buttons look awesome on the grey joycon not sure how good they will look on the neon ones though
You could try the reverse-colored ones that are meant for the New 3DS XL, where the letters are colored, and the rest of the buttons are gray/black.
Or you can use the white 3ds buttons ,their white with gray letters looks dope
I put the black with the letters different color buttons
and it looks SICK
not as good.
even better
That was super cool. It looks very good. The way you took it apart showed me how it was built. It was made to be modular so Its parts can be easily replaced. The level of skill to do that is fascinating. Thank you.
wow!!! I am so glad I found this channel. this video is really neat and unique, well thought out. I am also totally in love with that color scheme. really cool to see another engineer who loves customizing and modding their systems! :) awesome work. you have earned yourself a new fan.
Hi Mike! Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! Welcome then, and I hope you'll enjoy the content! 😉 This color scheme is lovely!! 😁 Take care!
also congrats on the viral video. Keep the modding coming
Thanks Manny! 😊
Manny Perez y
“You dont wanna break anything”
Well thats reassuring
This was actually very helpful, I sometimes customize my controllers and I had no idea how to customize the Joy-Cons, now I know how to do it step by step.
Impressive wow i want these too but as i know myself i would mess everything up and have no money left to rebuy the joycon so i would end up with just one joy con hahah
Raffago that is my fear
Its so amazing how things like these are so intricately made.
This is amazing, I hope this video gets a ton of attention
Thanks a lot! :)
This is what I call methodical modding. Awesome job!
Great video buddy! Appreciate your work!
Thanks mate!!! 👍
The amount of discipline and craftsmanship that you have showed has earned you a new subscriber!
Thanks a lot Joel! 😉
Hopefully Nintendo make some of this joy-con Too.
I really enjoy mods like this, you just go into such detail, I'd love to watch more of this
This is amazing, I loved the commentary
jacobellw thanks dude! 😊
First thing I thought of when I got my switch. Nice idea to use the 3ds buttons!
I saw you on reddit earlier today. But ran into this video researching the 8bitdo sfc30 controller. Small world. Lol! Cool video man, everyone on reddit was wondering how you did it.
Hahaha, yes small world sometimes!! 😉
I've watched this video like 6 times it's so nice to sit back and listen to you talk and show how to do this with such ease , you're really good subscribed
Thanks my friend!!! 😉
Epic video! Epic customization! Congratulations my friend!
Thanks my man! 😉
Congratulations! Not just for the mod, but for being brave enough to try it. Loved the video. Looks great! Good job bro! 👍
boss mod, this looks so good. i was thinking about getting the neon switch but after seeing how good this looks i'm not sure anymore :))
You got my subscribe for being yourself and not trying to be someone else for the fans, also great job... wish joycons comes that way
That voice.....delicious!
Darren Fitzgerald thanks! 😂
Darren Fitzgerald IKR XD
Quiel Evolution Gameplays Even if the video was just him opening jars of pickles I'd still watch it just for that voice! But seriously very informative video and an instant subscription from me. Keep up the good work.
Ah!!! Awesome!!! Great work JP!
Thanks man! 😁 It was a lot of work! 😅
good work Jordi!!! you are a handyman✌ looks really fine!!!
Thanks a lot Victor! 👌😊
I'm glad Luigi found a good job making RUclips videos on modding Nintendo consoles
That's cool fella..... great way to be different from everyone else my man.
Thanks mate! I was thinking about this since I got the Switch and finally got the courage! 😉
JordiPower hahaha...... it looks better for it to dude.
Rather cool. I'm a fan of properly coloured buttons; they give these new systems just a little bit of a more playful look to them.
your like a tech surgeon!
firedragon 😂😂😂
YOU ARE A FREAKIN PRO MAN!! I dont have the courage to do this because i dont want to destroy my joy cons YOU ARE AWESOME wow
Thanks mate!!!
this was a great video!
benperh thanks! 😊
JordiPower if I paid for you to replace my switch remote buttons would you...?
miguel garcia im pretty sure there is someone selling "snes" buttons for the switch....if not, just give it time.
Jorge Ln Even if they did start selling colored buttons for the Switch, I'd be afraid to take it apart because of all the ribbon cables. It's not cheap either at $40 a joy con. I'm just hoping Nintendo releases a green joy con since green is my favorite color.
Say Soun ahah i will be afraid too, maybe a skin its the easy solution
I'm 100% sure I'd break something if I tried that. Very well done sir.
now some one just needs to mod the left side and replace the 4 buttons with a D-pad.
Caleb Stuckey or the N64 directional buttons
TLKheri that would look pretty awesome as well.
Caleb Stuckey maybe someone could modify it to have the snes abxy buttons, n64 c buttons, gamecube left analog stick, and Wii Classic Controller right analog stick, and Wii U gamepad triggers, and gamecube z buttons but instead they are the l and r shoulder buttons
All of the nastoliga in one
Caleb Stuckey I've never seen it but I have took apart a ps2 controller and if I had a 3d printer I would have put a dpad inside don't know if the switch would be as easy
Caleb Stuckey No that would be a terrible idea, you wouldn't be able to use the joycon individually, unless you don't mind using a damn d-pad as the 4 buttons. A much much better option would be to make a d-pad that easily snaps onto the buttons, that way you can remove when you need
This was the coolest thing i ever seen anyone do to the switch yet! You are AWESOME. Best video ever!!!!
You got Mentiond from a German RUclipsr called "Nerd Over News" i think you will get a much more Subs
Niki2k1 ich komm auch von ihm ^^
These nintendo switch tech videos are so interesting!
Excellent work my friend :)
Thanks a lot Amar!!!!!! I appreciate you coming back my friend! 😉
JordiPower great work man! Just ordered some buttons. I also just followed you on Instagram I'm @retr0_gaming_daily. You just got a new sub too. Take care
great video... difficult to find one that goes as far to take off the buttons. My daughter is 4 years old and is really getting into playing Switch with me. Sticky fingers had the B button feeling mushy - needed to be cleaned. You saved me $100, and I got to be a super repair dad to my daughter. Thank you!
Como se nos nota el acento a los españoles jajaja sigue asi te has ganado un sub
Hahahaha, es lo que hay! 😉
Gracias!
Wow, you can tell this guy is a master profesional in this kind of stuff
i would ruin all the 8 buttons and be left alone crying. respect to your craftsmanship
The 24 dislikes are from people who had a Genesis.
Bibasik7 😂
Or people who like consistency.
Bibasik7 your profile pic looks like a piece of hair and i keep trying to blow it off
This tutorial was really helpful! I just finished mine and it looks amazing!
Thanks Ethan! I'm glad you got a cool result! 👍😊
_Looks badass, would be simpler to actually paint them with special non stick paint_
_Also nice breakdown at __6:01__ very professional_
it would be so easy to cover the letter and would also feel weird
I've done that for other systems. It's not that great. It feels sticky and if you put too much paint, the buttons bind in the holes when you press them.
great job jordi! you deserved the bump man! GREAT VID. i'm super jealous of your snes switch!
how much would you do one for me man?
adolfo pintor that was me through out the whole video 😂 😂 😂
Only time I saw a full video about this lol, so oddly entertaining
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it have been easier to just paint the original switch buttons? ^^
/KBLY/ Evet ama harflar ne olacak? 😂
59BRN bantlacan onları o zaman olur 👍😃
You are wrong
You could yea
The ABXY letters would get covered
your courage and creativity was awesome ! I love it ! and even more with you using metal slug at the end hahaha keep it up !
Wer ist hier von NerdOverNews?

ToastX2 nice :D

der typ ist super, ich ziehe meinen hut 🎩
Ich ... xD
Whoa, dang--that's a really, REALLY neat little modification! I've always loved those colored SNES buttons, ever since first finding out about them several years ago, and even though I'm most used to the purple buttons I grew up with, I've always preferred having more color, than less, if that makes sense. X3 This looks seriously tedious, and I think I'd be too scared to mess around with my Joycon(when I get a Switch), so, I don't think I could do this myself, but still, this was a really in-depth look at the inside of a Joycon controller, and I would never have seen it if it weren't for you! owo
This was awesome and I love your attitude! Hope your channel grows more you deserve it.
that commentating of metal slug was golden xD
i love this guy! the way he commented metal slug, i just loved it! subbed!
Nice work Jordi! Your 8bit intro, creativity and commentary is what made me want to subscribe. Looking forward to more content like this!
Hey Kyle, thanks a lot mate! I'm happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support, that keeps me 150% motivated! 😉
great mod man! I'm of your generation too so SNES holds a special place in my heart! i think I'll order them
cool! at first I thought you might have just painted the buttons, but I think this way worked much better!
Since I can see too many people messing up and breaking joycon, you could buy some and mod the buttons and sell them for a slightly higher price. Everyone wins. Awesome video by the way!
Wow that takes some precision and intelligence. I've subscribed that was amazing
I've done repairs for years... The Joycon is probably the first thing that actually makes me nervous... SO many tiny flex cables to tear! I can see why Joycons cost so much! :O
That said, I LOVED your mod! Amazing work!
Thanks man! I wasn't sure I could pull it off like I did.. 😉
I love your attitude.
You're so happy and I enjoyed watching every part of the video, subscribed!
Dom thank you very much Dom! 😉 I appreciate it!
This is a labor of love. Really enjoyed the video.
One of the most interesting video about switch on RUclips!
Thank you!! 😉
You have such passion when playing Metal Slug! Keep making great videos!
Thanks a lot Lucas!!!! 🙌 😉
This is truly orgiginal. Great job. Can't wait to see what you do next
This video was amazing, I couldn't keep myself from subbing.
Omnium thanks a lot! 😊
Amazing job! So brave to have done that to the Joy-Con but boy did it pay off! It looks great Jordi.
L.J. Galvan thank you very much! 😉
I dont and i think i wont have the necessary experience to do this, but congrats, great , wonderful work. Love ppl like u .
Fantastic video! Enjoyed the instructional portions as much as I enjoyed the organization skills you used to properly plan and set everything in place. Well done dude!!!
noshameshane thanks a lot bro! 😉
That looks so good on there!!!
Been looking for some good visual mods for my switch. This is definitely going to happen. Thanks bud
Great video! Loved watching it and your Metal Slug gameplay at the end was priceless
Hahaha, thanks a lot!!!
Really nice video, not sure why you don't have more subscribers, but you've gained another!
Great video, will have to do this when I eventually find a switch.
Thanks bro!! There's no Switches back in stock yet?
your sense of humor is great! also fantastic video!
Alexa Heal thank you so much Alexa! 😊 I appreciate it!!
It looks amazing with the snes buttons! Why didn't Nintendo release it like this?! Great work!
Looks awesome, I was looking at the snes buttons and comparing them to my pro controller and I think I may attempt something like this on it. Thanks for the idea.
Subbed! Your video was so well-made and your commentary is on point. I loved it!
This helped a lot. Now my Switch is a Sneswitch
Cool! Thanks! 😊
j'ai fais la même chose grâce a cette vidéo, j'avais pas de Dremel, j'ai poncé les boutons en les posant sur du papier de verre (grain 80) c'était long mais ça a fonctionner :) merci pour ce tuto :D
Salut Jin!! Content de l'entendre!!! Bonne idée pour le papier de verre!!! 👍😉
So much working and thinking for just 4 colored Buttons. Sure Nintendo will bring up a JoyCon like him someday.
Of course they will... or not 😅 Did we get coloured buttons on the 3DS XL? (besides that japanese limited edition?)
Amazing video and even better joy con mod, looks so good with the grey / colour button combo. Instant subscribe! Might try this myself...
OMG !!! Im watching you the first time, and youre totally awesome ! Nice Intro with He-Man, Zombies, and a lightsword ! Omg !! 😂 Such a great Video !
Oh! Thanks a lot Jane!!! 😊 I'm glad you like the intro, lots of geek stuff there! 😉
This Video is awesome and your style and attitude is on fleek! Keep up the good work.
spegnaz thanks a lot!!!
Subscribed! You're awesome! I can't believe you only have 4.4k subs! You're gonna blow up! Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks a lot!! 😊
I was hoping to replicate the mod after watching this, but it's clear you have a much greater grasp of hardware modding than I do. Oh well. Good video anyway.
That looks fantastic! Now to mod a D-Pad into the left joycon...
Anyone else get a kinda ASMR feeling when he's measuring the buttons with the instrument?
SWEET ASS!!! These Nintendo 3DS colored buttons are so much nicer than the generic colored buttons!!!
Good job, Mr. Espana! 😎
awesome sound effects you made! :)
I think I enjoyed the Metal Slug commentary more than the very detailed tutorial.
really interesting video to watch and i really appreciate the work put into this, great job
great job Jordi, way too advanced for me
you have the best right joy con on the planet
I subscribed great vid I love when people experiment fun and cool things
Very nice!!! I want one, but I don't have the tools, patience or skill too pull this off 😂 It looks awesome!!
Clear, simple, easy to follow instructions to do something that takes some steady hand and skill. You made it look easy and keep the viewer confident. Quality creator :)
Btw I make GBA Macros and mods so I know what I am talking about. You sir have a new sub :)
Thanks Jeremy!!!
Totally awesome , you're either an amazing craftsman or specialist 😉
Hahahaha! Oh man, that is practically the first mode I've ever done!!! 😉 You just have to be careful... and be prepared to buy another one if you break the first! 😅
