Change Joy Con Color Software

Posted on 15-09-2021 by admin

Are you bored with the same controller colored icons on the Nintendo Switch, wish they matched your different colored joy cons or pro controller from games like Splatoon 2. Well, now you can make the controller icons any color you want to thank’s to the Joy-Con Toolkit v1.0 by CTCaer.

The Joy con tool kit is simple and easy to use, all you need is a Bluetooth adapter and a Windows PC with .net framework v4.5.x and Visual c++ 2015 x86 redist installed. If you don’t have a Bluetooth adapter the program will fail to start and the same goes for .net framework & visual c+ these must be installed first before you run the Joycon tool kit. Also, you’ll need to pair the Joy con’s or pro controller to the PC before you start the program.

Aug 03, 2021 Here's every color Nintendo Switch Joy-Con available, plus a few customization options so you can really stand out. Pro Tip: Do not put an adhesive skin on your Joy-Con controllers. According to DBrand, a top-named adhesive skin maker, the factory coating on the Joy-Cons and the console can be damaged by adhesives.

Once you have everything installed and the controller’s pair to the PC, it’s time to open up the Joycon tool kit and backup your SPI flash before doing anything else. It may take a little bit and the program might stop responding but don’t worry its still working and doing its thing.

Place your thumb on the joystick and pull it to one side. Gently use the straw to lift the rubber skirt of the joystick. Give your stick several quick cleansing blasts from different angles. Leave the Switch Lite, or the Joy-Con tilted to one side and allow any debris to run down the side. Change Joy-Con colors within the Switch menus Video With the dbrands skins coming out I remembered this video that allows you to change the color of the joy-con in the switch menu, so when you are configuring controllers or the side bars when you slid a joy-con in and out.

Now that you’re done backing up the SPI file time to change those icon colors to match your controllers or just your favorite colors.

Once you pick out the colors you want to use just hit write body color and then write button color and that’s it your done. Now the Switch will display the color you pick every time that controller pairs to the Switch up in the top-left hand corner or in the controller settings on the main menu.

The icon display on the main menu of the Switch in the bottom left-hand corner does not change as that icon is part of the Switch and the joy con tool kit only modifies the icon inside of the controller. So you don’t have to worry about anything as this tool kit does nothing to your Switch and only changes the icon inside of the controller that the Switch reads and displays.
