    I honestly don’t know why anyone would skip ahead just to see the controllers in action. The real entertainment comes from your trial and error, the tough things you went through and the meticulous detail you added to get these controllers just right, and the amazing feeling you get when you see them completed. I come back to this video every few months just to be amazed. Fantastic work, Shank. I love your content. Keep it up.

      Something I recently learned (that many might have stumbled on) is that applying some isopropyl alcohol with a cotton swab underneath the rubber sheath of the joycon and then rolling it around will fix that right up. I'm no engineer, but I'd watched a video explaining that it's something to do with residue that builds up as opposed to an actual hardware malfunction. Worked just fine for mine.

    if you haven’t already you can use “Joy-Con Toolkit” to change the colors of the joy cons on-screen so they show up as purple instead of gray ;)

      asparagus I did this when I got the atomic purple joycon shells. They show up as purple in my switch. I just wish it worked for pro controller shell swaps. Unfortunately unless you use the colors of official pro controller releases, it won’t change in the switch UI.

      If someone doesn't disconnect their bluetooth controller mid-match someone can unknowingly interrupt a match causing an argument, I think thats a reason Joy-Cons are banned.

    I originally watched this video back when it first came out, I was a freshman in high school, I'm watching it again now, and I'm going to be going into University soon. Wow, also Shank, when I watched this video it helped me pursue my passions of technology and other related fields as well, this channel has really opened up my eyes, I have gotten into modding recently, nothing big so far, but all steps, even small ones, are on the journey to greatness, I currently did a case mod and software mod for my 3DS, I'm thinking of doing a hardware mod of my other broken 3ds later down the road, fix it up, trim the mobo, and try to give it my own flare, I'm just not really sure where to start
