I wanted a nice THOCK out of my Pro Controller. Something SATISFYING to press. So for this NIntendo Switch mod I chucked the rubber button membrane and went with some tactile switches...

It’s really cool seeing this hobby take shape from the beginning and seeing it evolve into cool experiments and projects like this!
Im waiting for when he creates and sells his own brand controllers. I know he maybe never does, but u can hope 🙌
Lol ikr. We've been through a part of Bob's character development arc 😭
Ikr, he went from busting so many joycons to smoothly modding the pro controller
reminds me of learning how to solder to mod old Xbox controllers :D
this hobby has been around for like 2 decades tho..
I prefer silent buttons and keys, but I envy the satisfying tactile feedback that you get from those clicky ones. Well done Bob, the controller turned out beautifully.
Logitech has a mouse called the "Pebble" M350, that has very silent switches that feel nice. If you can find out what switches it uses, you'd have the switches you wanted.
@@Brain_pocketer That is actually the mouse I use, I've had it for years, but thank you! A very apt recommendation.
@@keyholes I have it, too. Pretty decent mouse, but a bit small for my hands.
Well I always play with headphones for immersion so that buttons can be as loud as they want lol
@@daddykarlmarx6183 not true, if a sound is low or high pitched enough, you'll hear it better than you'll hear your headphones.
This has big "I just discovered MX Blues why aren't these in everything" energy lol.

@@bradleylauterbach7920 yeah but just getting into it, people want the MAX amount of CRUNCH. I'd be good with Gat yellows myself :p

This is the reason i subscribed. Wulff has one of the chillest channels on youtube. Whenever i feel my anxiety is too much to handle. I take a break from what im doing, and take 5-10 min to destress with wulffs videos. Easily helped me through the covid crisis! Seeing someones hobby turn into something i could do too really hits home how cool these type of activities are for dealing wuth stress. Thanks wulff!
i love how it looks like a pro controller for a switch lite! the white buttons and soft tone is so nice to look at.
That Cruis'n K.K. cover is smooth as heck. Any way, this might inspire me to solder.
Having made a ton of portables, I greatly prefer the feel of soft tactile switches. They are somewhere between the abruptness of straight tact switches and the gumminess of deep membrane connections. I actually did the reverse of this mod recently on a third-party switch grip.
Soft tactile switches? What are they like?
I think _ideal_ face buttons should feel kinda like those 'deep' power buttons you see on some appliances. The ones where there is some travel with springy tension followed by a click at the bottom (those ones where the button stays in a bit when it's toggled to the 'on' position), except they would of course be momentary instead of toggle.
Is that what a soft tactile switch is like?
This is why I love the GBA sp so much, the buttons are SUPER clicky and so is the dpad, which makes it my favorite dpad to use
Phat ds has the same ones
yeah the sp buttons are awesome same with the original ds, and they still hold up well
If you like that specific click and you want to do this mod, you might want to find some slim tactile switches and maintain/replace the rubber membranes.
The GBA SP has a thin rubber membrane between the plastic button and the tact switch, which cuts the slack a bit and turns the harsh clack of a metal dome striking a contact into a nice and refined click.
to bad its the worst gba version of all 3
@@wiskymo9687 that is just not the case, the worst of them is the original model gba
I love how in each video where you have a new controller with tactile switches, you have to have that one sentence about why it is better with the click one than to mushy ones
the editing on these videos is extremely underrated
Underrated by whom?
Or do you just mean you like the editting on this channel? If so, just say that next time.
"Great editing, Wulff Den."
Simple.
@@mikec9763 underrated as in I don’t ever see any other comments making note of how good the editing is. Don’t ever tell me how to write a comment 🙂

Simple.
@@hectordavid169 I bring the drugs and your mama takes you home early.
More power to you, Bob, but this sounds like a nightmare to me
it can be!
Yeah. I am very much able to solder, that was part of my profession, when I worked as electrician. But I'm certainly not gonna do this stuff. If there were some Microswitches built for this PCB that would be another story, but using trial and error and potentionally trying out 10 switches and drilling the Button Caps until it somewhat fits - oh hell no. I'm pretty confident that I COULD make it work, the soldering really isn't that hard, but nope. To much fiddling around. I'm pretty satisfied with the Buttons as they are, so that ain't worth it.
Cool project tough, I like it a ton. Wouldn't recommend that mod to a beginner tough. Those Pro Controllers are expansive AF and if you mess up to bad, which very well could happen if you ain't experienced, you threw away 70 Bucks .
(Changing the Triggers and Shell tough, that's easy and anyone could do it without greater risk of destroying it)
WULFF DEN: Do you need Nintendo's Permission in order to create your own Nintendo Switch or the accessories like the controller
@@DanielBrosman08211986 you buy it, you do whatever you want with it. If you pay for something, you legally own it, thus allowing you to do whatever you want with it.
@@DanielBrosman08211986 no
Haven’t had a reason to break out my soldering iron in months. Gonna break it out for this 👍🏻
Comment back on how it goess!!!
@@Littlemexican3306 just ordered the switches, I will!
Me too!
@@Littlemexican3306 Reporting back! I did the replacements, it was easy enough. The A button wasn’t too bad since I knew only had to remove a tiny bit of plastic. I just held the drill bit with my hand and twisted it one rotation instead of using a actual drill.
I’m not used to the new switches yet. I’m actually terrible at smash with this controller but I’ve only spent a couple hours playing. Might be a little bit too shallow of a press for me personally. Oh well 🤷🏻♂️
@@ggarcia4114 nice nice I feel like some kinda medium sized switches with a solid click would feel amazing ofc there's only so much room in a controller but it is an interesting idea
I will argue that soldering is one of the best skills that one can acquire.
I've loved clicky buttons ever since the NeoGeoCD pads. Will definitely look into this!
Did not know they sold octogonal analog shells. Might need to do that.
Not for smash as much as because I hate when games require a straight walk and I fail miserably.
UPDATE: So I ended up filing my left stick gate only (but actually made it shaped like an octagon), as I still play a decent amount of shooters, so keeping my right stick circular was better for aiming. I also added the hair trigger, and put in some magnetic xbox one pro controller type sticks.
Now I'm tempted to do more mods as that hair trigger mod feels NICE. BTW, my right PIN was a pain in the ASS to get out, broke the plastic tweezers the kit came with and had to mangle a cheap pair of metal ones.
But WOW, this is now my favorite controller by far as long as I don't need analog triggers.
My favorite youtuber being as obsessed as I am about clicky buttons & keys is super satissfying to witness 😇
I’m not a fan of clicky anything on controllers but I love the work you put into modding your Pro. Nice work!
I have done all these modifications but with a matcha green shell, it is a thing of beauty. It was totally worth it. But I also spent to much money on this stuff again because of your video :D
Any advice?
@@grantwalker7124 for what especially? Tbh for me
the hardest part was the painting, I am not good at, it was so much pain. If I ever do this again I will simply leave it black :D
Hey hey, is this the new studio? Looking nice! Good thing you kept your staple blueish smurf lighting. Keep it up!
Thats sick I would do the D-Pad clicky for sure and it looks cooler to make your own grooves even if its more work
This is the exact kind of mod I've been wanting to try for years now. Awesome work and thanks for the inspiration on getting me to do it myself
Very impressive. The buttons sound fantastic and I’m sure feel amazing. The final product is beautiful too. You did a great job with the spray paint, wasn’t sure how that would turn out, but it worked great.
I had a razer onza, clicky buttons were great but the sticks were garbage and broke after a month of use
Same, it was pretty sad
Same here
yeah. it was good while it lasted
Legit thought it was great until it broke.
It was the worst customer support I have ever seen which is what turned me off of Razer forever tho.
@@iron9217 I didn't bother with customer support, at the time I think I spent $30 on the controller. With Razer products it's either hit or miss.
Nice to see someone appreciate the Urbs (GBA version) soundtrack!
I actually just finished this project based on this video. You definitely don't need to drill out the buttons! The switch measurements you had are perfect. What I did was hold the switches in place with some blue tac and then put flux & solder on TOP. The buttons feel amazing!
Thanks so much for the research, idea, and execution plan!
Edit: I made the micro switch and button change mods to my wife's controller and it actually had the clearance issue... I guess the plastics can be of variable tolerances?
Any chance I could find a tutorial for the method you did this? I have all the parts I need but the video isn't the most clear for me since I'm brand new to soldering.
@@analog7259 I couldn't find a good tutorial but it's very similar to how he's doing it in this video at 6:35 except I used blue tac on the side of the switch to hold it down so I didn't have to hold it with tweezers to get the first anchor point. This also allows you to start applying the solder on top so you don't accidentally raise it up which would affect the button actuation.
As for tools for this project, I'd use:
- Leaded rosin core solder. Lead so it melts easier and rosin core so it has flux inside it which helps it stay clean.
- A good soldering iron set at a high temperature. I use a Hakko FX-888D at 750f/400c which is probably overkill for this project but a good high watt iron that won't lose heat on you will make your life easier.
- Extra flux to keep things clean and the solder sticky. Especially helpful if you're new and not moving quickly.
- A solder pump or a solder wick in case you make a mistake.
- Something to solder on. A silicone mat is ideal for this imo.
- Blue tac or something you can use to hold things in place temporarily.
In that same switch kit should be some 2.5mm tall buttons, they worked perfectly under the d-pad, I replaced the d-pad buttons as well and that made this controller into a mario powerhouse, as much as you like the tactile buttons I recommend you crack it open and swap those out too, you won't be sorry.
Which 2.5mm tall piece did you use specifically? I saw a 2p black, 4p white, and a 4p black and can't figure out which one to use. Also, if possible, do you have pics of your final product? I want to make sure I solder these on correctly.
Most RUclipsrs say they'll link something below and never do, but you actually do. Thank you
If you’re gonna keep doing soldering projects, I really recommend getting a T12 soldering station. You can find them for like $65 bucks, they come with 3 tips, and have a huge temperature range. It’s also thinner than the ones you plug into the wall, so it’s a lot easier to control the point
Just as a heads up, you might want to dab in some hot glue on the sides of the buttons to help with stability. Solder is decently strong but it will wear down over time the more you press. Anything you can do to help keep those buttons in place will greatly lengthen time in between repairs.
What type of hot glue/hot glue gun do you recommend?
Would some type of super glue work instead. That seems easier and cheaper to work with in my mind, but I'm new to this so I could be wrong.
While hot glue would seem to help with stability and not needing to do repairs for a longer period, what would happen if it were to break and it's hot glued in place? Is there any repair process at that point or is it just forever broken?
I'm sorry for all of the questions. I'm new to this and think your suggestion is something I want to do, I just want as much clarity as possible before I attempt this.
@@grantwalker7124 the main reason I said hot glue is because despite it helping strengthen the solder joint it is also marginally easy to peel off of the PCB and repair the part you need. For that same reason I wouldn't recommend super glue, but also because super glue doesn't build up very well to create a strong base. As for what type of hot glue gun to use, anything low to medium heat will do. You just need something that will do the minimum and preferably extrude to a fine tip, since you're working with small parts.
**EDIT** I meant to say super doesn't build up very well and is near impossible to remove if needed
@@Rillion02 Thank you for the reply. That makes sense.
These are likely stupid questions, but I'm new to soldering and would like as much clarification as possible.
The video doesn't clarify these things:
What thickness should the soldering wire be for doing this? As thin as possible, right?
What type of soldering wire? "Tin Lead Resin Core" or some other type?
I'm no expert by any means, I've just done some super basic solder jobs before too, but yes I would definitely recommend thin solder to not get big globs of it in places you don't need it. I've definitely made that mistake before 😅. And yes you could use a lead free flux core solder for this.
@@Rillion02 Hey, Adam. Just got everything in the mail, and plan on starting the mod soon. Overall, do you have any advice? This will be my first attempt at something like this, and while it does seem like a more straightforward thing, I would appreciate any tip you are able to throw my way.
Edit: Also curious as to if you did the d-pad, and if you did, any advice there? What size of the tactile switches are best for that? Would like to attempt that.
It’s funny cause the thing I like about the pro controller is that it has less clicky buttons.
how dare you
@@WulffDen I don't prefer the kind of buttons the joucons have, but if you've ever used an OG Saturn controller (the model 2/Japanese design) the switches they used for the shoulder buttons were fantastic
@@WulffDen clicky buttons are for typing and fidgeting, for a controller I prefer buttons that require zero to none force to mash
Same. I also prefer the nintendo DS lite buttons over the 3DS because they're less clicky. I find clicky really hard for games like Mario Kart.
@@manuelsaavedra8081 Same!
also if you attempt to do this and paint that one black peice on the top you should also do a light sanding of it before painting. the sanding removes remaining residue/finish that protects the plastic/helps eject it from the mold. its a small difference but it helps in the long run
first you got me into emulation, now you've got me into clicky buttons on my keyboard and controllers. You're killing my free time and wallet Bahb!
sorry about it
Part of the reason I've often preferred handhelds is they usually use tactile buttons
Especially helps with the dpad, part of the reason I like the new Xbox controller
I love the eXtremeRate shells, but a word of warning to anyone getting soft-touch shells. The paint they use is relatively easy to scratch if you're not careful. I converted my JoyCons to safety yellow and with the Satisfye Switch grip, I would occasionally notice scratches where dug into the front sides from sliding it in and out.
this was exactly what I was looking for in a pro controller. I'm already planning on getting extremerate clicky triggers for the PS5 controller. this would be a perfect match for my setup
ExtremeRate makes a tactile button kit for face buttons and dpad for the Dualsense as well. Might be worth it for a more streamlined solution.

2 thumbs up, would recommend
Aye tbh the best part of these videos are the adds lowkey. Which is wild cuz Bob is the man.
Bob: "So that's how it's making the connections. Gotta push through all these things."
Proceeds to mod controller to have more things to push through.
Ordered all I need to and I'm excited to try this mod out myself! I've been getting the itch to mod something and this fits the bill perfectly.
I have 2 8bitdo sn30 pro + controllers and 1 of their arcade sticks. So far no complaints, until something better comes along, I think I'll be with them for a long time.
Whelp. I just ordered some buttons, a shell, and the shoulder kit. I haven't soldered in about 15 years so I'm sure this will go well. Great idea and vid, Bob!
The last time you soldered, I was 4 or 5 years old
I just happened to have done my first extremerate front/back shell replacement on a pro controller today, so it's interesting to see this video come out around the same time. Definitely surprised you didn't go for a D-pad mod just to see how feasible it might be to "fix" it.
It’s beautiful. This makes me want to start a business customizing controllers. I’m all for this.
Dude that baby blue on white buttons is sick!!!
The PDP Afterglow Deluxe Wireless Controllers have pretty nice click feel too for a third party option
I had one but it somehow drifted
i hate that i rarely skip bobbies ad reads lmaoo god damn it they're entertaining af
love how the joystick gates are shaped in a way to make them “clickier” when spinning the sticks around, like a Gamecube controller
Fun fact you can actually use the same button switches on the dpad too. I did it myself but you do have to fold the metal connectors to make space for it. Only the 3 x 6 x 2.5 white buttons will work for the dpad.
Did you have any fitment or durability issues? I'm considering doing the same mod to the d-pad alone
Actually no I didn’t It’s been going great now for 7 months; just make sure you fold the metal tabs in and just be very thorough with your soldering. I love it though I couldn’t go back to how it was before.
If you do remove material from the under-side of your buttons, keep in mind that drill bits work just fine as hand-tools too. You don't have to use a motorized drill, which could f**k right off on you in the blink of an eye. Just spin the bit in your fingers, adding a little pressure. It'll go a bit slower, which is exactly what you want.
i wish there was an actual kit made for this purpose, i dont mind having to solder, and it would be super nice if something would work right away without all the drilling
I love clicky switches. Mechanical switches may not be as cheap and easy as rubber dome ones, but they feel so much better. Speaking of, if you love things that are clicky, remember the controls on the Neo Geo Pocket Color? I still love that little system's buttons felt. Especially that clicky stick!
I love how the switches are out of stock, haha. Good thing I managed to grab mine. Will definitely be a fun project to make a better controller. Soldering shouldn't be a problem either, since I've already practiced that plenty with replacing thumbsticks. And yeah, ExtremeRate definitely have great items to customize your controller, great customer service, too.
That case is nice plus the white buttons and white mod spray paint you did. I want one!
the background music kinda gave me a the sims: urbz for NDS vibes, loved it
Crazy i just started diving myself into switches on console remotes and tact switch modding my psi controller. I was so preoccupied with finding different ways to go about this i didnt see you uploaded this until now. Sick controller.
I remember making a comment on one of Extremerates videos saying how something like this with face buttons would be banging and sell like mad to do a custom board like this and they responded that they felt it wouldnt sell but im seeing in the comments that my idea for this project he did is actually wanted by people, i know my friend commissioned me to mod his Pro controller like this
I love the switch lite color scheme!!!
3:17 -K.K. GOOD DAY LETS GOOO!-
Edit: wait it's probably the K.K. Cruisin' True Remix, not the mashup that uses it
That is awesome! I would love soldering a controller together as I've done lots of soldering in the past and it's a lot of fun
Man I love all your weird controller videos. Nice to know its not just me who likes all this weird hyper specific stuff
I love how the soft shells from Extremerate feels, but they start to discolor almost immediatly
I bought the clicky shoulder buttons for my controller because it was not registering my inputs correctly, plus, tbh the stock shoulder buttons feel very crappy. They feel totally amazing.
Oh I love the Bobs dialogue and that big beautiful space!
I love what you've done they are clicky but not so clicky that they hurt my ears (like my keyboard)... good job!
Nice video! When I heard glasstown night it put a smile on my face. So many good memories playing urbz
The excellent use of blue in the backgrounds really make the video have a sense of unification which in turn makes it look very beautiful and stylish.
Keep up the amazing work. 🙏🏻💙
5:18 that got me offguard 😂😂😂
I did this mod to the 8bitdo sn30 pro 2, it works really nice now, it is a little bit harder because the copper pads for the face buttons are really slim but it is still possible. I used super glue to secure better the switches, it is possible to add the switches to the shoulder buttons but it is really really hard so I just did it to the face buttons and the dpad
Even without the weird notches and clicky buttons, that controllers colors look amazing
If I ever get the Switch, I'm thinking about the possibility of adding a "Turbo" or "Auto" function to the screenshot button.
My brother bought me the Fixture S1 after a month of hand cramps playing Pokemon, and seeing this video, I am now on the hunt for clicky switches and a soldering kit... and maybe a new shell for my pro controller cause I already confuse anyone's pro controller with mine... Damn you, Bob.
From now on, I'm calling you BaHb the Builder 👷♂️
I've just got into keyboards the past two months myself and it didn't even dawn on me that you could be doing the same with controllers. Excellent video
There’s also a good switch pro controller alternative called the mobapad Chitu it’s the same shape as the switch pro controller but every button has micro switch’s and I love it honestly but I know some people don’t like the off white and mute red color but I love it
I must say i got it better without drill the buttons.
I use slim switches and insert a 3d print part to remove the space between switch and button.
I replace all buttons and rhe dpad.
And i make the trigger cable itself with a replacement and some switches.
With a tin tip of soldering iron the soldering is very easy
I liked the “clicky” buttons of the Gameboy Advance SP and original DS
This was a beautiful mod. Well done
I love mechanical keyboards and their sounds. Not so much in controllers, but I’d still like to try this.
There’s probably a Microsoft controller designer touching themselves while watching this video.
A version of this mod for 8BitDo’s Ultimate controller would probably create the best controller ever made imo
I was just thinking about doing this today. Couldn't figure out what switches to use until this video found me. Glad to know someone else hates silicone membranes
i have just one word to describe this project: EPICO
soldering tips: don't cheap out, A decent soldering iron will last a very long time. I also suggest buying rosin core solder, That way you wont have to worry about flux. I also recommend getting a soldering clamp stand, soldering boards without and support is very frustrating.
i tried this and ended up frying my controller
Pro tip, if you have oem buttons and don't want to drill into that sweet sweet double shot, sand the plastic switch nub instead.
What a coincidence that I bought a shell replacement for my Pro Controller and see your upload talking about that and other stuff to mod onto the Pro Controller. I'm just sticking with replacing the shell and I prefer having membrane or soft quiet clicks on controllers but anyways great video!
This inspired me to do my own shell mod. I honestly don't care about the feel of my controller, and I like to keep it silent, so I didn't end up doing the button mod, but regardless it's absolutely beautiful, and entirely unique.
love to see your journey to tact switch convert. more mod videos!!!! please you're so good at them
Pro tip, find a table top game store and get a modeling drill, there about 10$ USD and it's literally just a handle for drill bits, much more forgiving than a power drill
I bought a Razer Wolverine v2 for my birthday a few months back. You would be surprised on how useful clicky buttons are for controllers. you can feel and hear when you have the button down, not just guessing you have it all the way down.
I think you did very well. I also think i would enjoy this upgrade for sure. Nice work 👌🏻
Want to fiddle around and make the membrane buttons work better? Flow some solder onto the controller contact pads.
I'll have to keep this idea in mind. I've already modded my pro controller with a translucent blue shell with octagonal gates, a silicone grip from Foamy Lizard, thumbstick grips from Skull & Co., and even wrapped the stick shafts with UHMW tape to prevent the plastic from grinding and causing that plastic dust build up. Having these micro switches would finally make the controller perfect I think.
“It’s just really tiny”
Me: Laughs in *402* package size.
No Bob, why are you doing this to me.. I just got the 8BitDo Pro2. Now i need to modify my pro controller! You've built the most beautiful controller I've seen
What song is that at 3:13 that plays while the controller is shown off? It's so good!
It's K.K. Cruisin' True Remix by Mesmonium, it's pretty great
@@Sincald thank you! It's so good.
@@Sincald not all heroes wear capes
I thought to myself as i hummed along wtf is that? Duhhh kk mofuggin jam
I always wonder what that kk cover is a parody of?
Awesome! Soldering is super fun! You probably know, but make sure the fumes are gone
This is awesome, but those solder joints are pretty shoddy and you may well find they fail. I'd suggest re-flowing the solder joints using flux. It's easy peasy, and you'll be blown away by how much of a difference it makes.
Even then I'd suggest looking to add structural support to the switch, maybe just some hot glue blobs etc. Even if the solder joint doesn't fail the contact pad could rip off the PCB (honestly, this happens very easily). If that happens it's not necessarily game over but it takes some skilled work to fix.
It's basically like going from membrane to mechanical keyboard. Cool stuff!
Already had the trigger kit, was jealous of the PS5 tacticile face button kit, and my elites tactile dpad. Totally gonna try this now!
So i tried it. Kind of. I used an extra button board i had laying around after putting the LED kit in a different pro controller. I am not new to soldering at all, everything went easy enough but strangely this other board will not work, even the home button and stuff i didn't touch, old board still works and i even held a tactile switch on the working board and clicked it and it worked. So now i'm wondering if i should just solder the board that was already in there. Maybe the other board is from a different rev controller? Are these components married? Lets find out!
