What is the difference between "made from new" and "made from refurbished" Joy-Con controllers you make?

Both look and function the same! New sets are made from brand new, out-of-the-box original Joy-Cons. Refurbished ones are made from fully tested Joy-Cons we fit into a brand new shell with new quality buttons and analog sticks. We believe perfectly good tech is being tossed away all the time and that's really not good for the environment or our future. Why not take a perfectly good, fully functional device and repurpose it into a brand new one with internals that have a story? :) Imagine all the awesome gameplay that set has experienced. Oh, the stories it could tell.

What if I experience any issues, including drift after your 60-day warranty?

The most important thing for us is that you're happy with your order. We use brand new analogues and test every set a few times to minimize any chance of drift and make sure everything is working perfectly before it's neatly packaged so any issue is very unlikely. If you still experience any issue, please contact us since we're always here to help. If your 60-day warranty has ended, we will still replace the part and test your set again for the cost of only shipping and parts. It should be around ~$15 (domestic).

Do you take custom orders?

We live for those :) Yes, of course. If you're looking at our shop listings' pictures and still can't find that exact something yet, tap "Contact Seller" and let us know what you have in mind. We love to talk to gamer friends and think of creative ways to build new controller designs for you.

How long will it take to ship my order?

We work hard to meet our processing time. However, if there is an unexpected increase in order numbers, we might take a little longer. We are always on top of the schedule so please look into your order confirmation for processing times because we always update it accordingly. If your order takes longer to process, we'll of course notify you and also upgrade you to priority shipping. (It's on us in the US.)

I bought the Joy-con with the LED modded buttons (not the Player LED mod), how do I turn on my Joy-Con LED mod lights?

Controlling your Joy-Con LED mod is simple and done with the SL+SR buttons: 1. Turn on/off: Press and hold the SL+SR buttons for 5 seconds. 2. Change colors: When the LEDs are on, each press on SL+SR will skip between Red, Green, Blue, Lime, Pink, Violet, Teal, fade in/out cycle (through all the colors) and blinking cycle (through all the colors). Play with the different options until you find the one you love. The LEDs are powered by the Joy-Con’s battery, so no need to charge them separately. As long as your controllers are charged, you’re good to go. ** If you've purchased Joy-Con with the Player LED Mod, please note, the Player LED Mod is on the Joy-Con side rail and only replaces the original green LEDs that's in all Joy-Con.

Can I send my own Joy-Con to be modded and will that reduce the cost for me?

Yes, we definitely offer a send-in modding service :) Please tap “Contact Seller” and let us know what mod you’d like. We will send you a custom order link and where to ship your Joy-Cons to. Please make sure you wrap them well (preferably in bubble wrap). Since we use your own Joy-Con, the cost for you will be lower and varies according to which mod you choose.

Will the Joy-Cons fit the new Switch OLED?

Yes, of course. All our Joy-Con mods fit/are fully compatible with the new Nintendo Switch OLED.

It looks like it was made for 1983!

The iconic look of this NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) inspired Pro-Controller is a throwback to 1983 when Nintendo released the groundbreaking gaming NES console in the US and changed our childhood forever.

It’s the coolest gift idea for a family member or friend who appreciates the golden days of 80s gaming.

This Pro-Controller is made from a brand new, out-of-the-box, original one we customize to fit in a new NES shell with new buttons+new thumb grips+the original USB-C charging cable.
Your Switch will also recognize and display it in its new color.

Seller was very cooperative and responded quickly to all questions and concerns. The order ended up being late but as a way to make up for it a bonus gift was included in the box. Controller is very good quality. What makes it even better is that it is compatible with PC and eventually the Switch 2!
