5 out of 5 starsI couldn't be happier with this purchase! I've been wanting a pink pro controller for a while. If you are looking for a shop to support- this is the one! Excellent customer service and my controller works incredibly. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsI messaged the seller to get empty joycon shells to be able to swap out my own. I received them in the mail very quickly, and they arrived neatly. The seller even included a screwdriver, a set of extra buttons, screws and springs. The joycon shells are a beautiful shade of pink and feel so soft and buttery smooth. I followed a tutorial on youtube and was able to replace the shells the same day I received my order in the mail.

5 out of 5 stars100/10. My second pair from this shop. They work absolutely perfectly. Gal is truly amazing to do business with. Shipping took a little while but gal made sure to reach out to me and let me know. I will definitely be coming back when I’m ready for another pair of joycons. OH! Also! The purple LED light upgrade is absolutely adorable, I love it!

Frequently asked questions
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.
