What's going on boys and girls what's up world Austin John plays here and today
we're gonna be doing a fun little project to get ourselves a custom
Nintendo switch pro controller so I actually have a little bit of a
collection of pro controllers including the super smash brothers pro controller
I don't have the Xenoblade one but I do have a custom red and white Austin John
plays one chair not to color we're for sending that over as well as their NES
style controller which is a pretty dope however I do have these two regular ones
that I've picked up throughout my journeys mostly because I wanted to have
four and then I can't say no to the Super Smash Brothers one and then I
picked up this extremely generically boxed replacement housing shell for the
Nintendo switch pro controller in the theme of Eevee and Pikachu and I thought
to myself yeah that'd be great when let's go Pikachu and Eevee comes out
I'll have this really dope pro controller that I could play the game
with and then uh it doesn't support that so that's why I make this video sooner
now in the past I made a video replacing the joy con shells with atomic purple
what you've never seen my atomic purple joy cons here they are and while they do
look really awesome I definitely do not recommend anyone who has little to no
experience to do this because well it broke one of them and then I had to get
it swapped out and then I had to go to Best Buy and buy a right to joy con yes
I'm one of the few people in the world who bought a solo joy con so I assume
that the pro controller is gonna be a lot easier and if you want to do this at
home you probably can much simpler than then these boys were I'm actually really
excited for the switch light as it's an all-in-one to just be able to take it
apart and swap the shell out that way so we're gonna be taking this pro
controller and we're gonna be making it into this custom let's go Pikachu an
Eevee pro controller I just realized now that the pro
controller has no external screws out there they are there in the feetsies oh
so nice it's made in China as if as if we
couldn't figure that out on our own buy this premium packaging there's no
instructions but there are instructions to get yourself a free extended warranty
and a $2.00 Amazon gift card that is that is premium right there there's
instructions on leaving reviews but not on replacing the shell nice so we have
the front half of the shell the rear half of the shell you could even see the
decals well zoom on those in a bit we have each of the side hands which is a
Pikachu one and a Evie one and also for multicolored buttons that we could
replace it with nito's I don't know why they did the red green blue yellow
buttons for the Eevee Pikachu pro controller like on the EVP kachou joy
cons which it's clearly modeled after that there's still just black buttons
but we have the colors matching now so yeh the front half of the decal has a
whole bunch of inscriptions of Pikachu and then that that's Pichu that one
right there that's clearly Pichu as well as that one over there am I going crazy
no that's Pichu okay so there's some inconsistencies that's fine and on the
back also just more Pikachu and Phu Eevee does not appear once on here okay
thanks China let's go ahead take out the bottom two screws those are in there
snug snug as a bug in a rug now yep these two just slide off and then we're
expiring if I just wanted to put on the yellow and the brown now I could and I'd
be done like simple as that if you just want to replace the handles that's two
screws and you are all set four more screws visible now something that's kind
of unique about the pro controller is that inside each of the handles over
here this is where the HD Rumble is locate
which not only does that give your rumble a better feel than traditional
Rumble but at the same time it has some weight to the controller and the handles
and a lot of people have said that the switch pro controller is one of the best
feeling controllers they've ever held in their life
myself included all right with the fourth screw out it's definitely a lot
looser now and I feel like this can just pop off there we go and here we have
access to the battery so if your battery in your pro controller ever dies boom
there you go we're never working on a controller you should always remove the
battery this reminds me of like old Nokia phone batteries it's 1,300
milliamp hours that thing lasts for freaking ever we have one more screw
down here to little boys are at the top and we have two more super hidden screws
located right there to get rid of from there OOP just lifts right off as we
lift it off we want to make sure but the ribbon cable that's on here this stays
perfectly intact looks like this it just pulls out gently and lastly we need to
detach this motherboard from the front plate which seems easy enough I mean
when compared to the joy con that was a nightmare and a half this is a cakewalk
here those three screws come off and then one more here on the side and that
should be everything beautiful so that's the interface of how
the buttons connect and everything else and now it's our option if we want to go
ahead and replace the four plastic pieces and just so it stands out a
little bit more I think I'm gonna even though it's you know completely
different from the actual joy Khan's oh look at that the actual cutouts for each
individual button are different so you couldn't put the a inside of the B even
if you wanted to like it just doesn't fit that's pretty neat intend Oh making
things dummy-proof you know what they say you make something dummy proof
someone's gonna make a better dummy I just realized that I put this in the old
housing instead of the new one the plastic itself feels a little bit a
guest cheaper like it doesn't have as nice of a coating of a finish to it I
always like to do this very slowly and precisely swapping out the individual
buttons make sure that you know you're not just kind of randomly trying to
squeeze them all in there and playing oh does circle fit in the square it doesn't
I so I think it's really neat that they decided that the pro controller would be
semi-transparent in the first place good move on them I don't know why they
didn't do it with the toy cons that would be neat so now with all of the
original buttons and our new buttons in the shell I'm really happy we didn't
have to take apart the the trigger assembly cuz that was a little bit above
a pain on the drawer combs that's for sure remember to start all your screws
and then tighten them down afterward well the new plastic is it's a little
tight like the actual standoffs where the screws I'm just being
brand-new can also use this opportunity to clean off the joysticks because I
like to accumulate a little bit of crud right around the inner ring fantastic
play the ribbon back into place lock it back in oh by the way I've
decided to not do the back because I don't like the back and my hand is gonna
be feeling the back quite a bit and if I don't like to feel the plastic that's
okay for the front but for the back well I'm gonna have to endure that all the
time before even putting it together you can kind of see what it's gonna end up
looking like which is pretty neat yeah the the coloured face buttons definitely
give it some life while putting it back together I realize that what they've
done for the color scheme of the screws is actually really smart so these silver
screws are the only screws you need to take off if you need to get to the
battery for whatever reason you essentially take out none of the black
screws plug it in and test it and make sure that it works a smash pro
controller let's plug this bad boy in
there we go it still works it's now this time that I
can go ahead and put the rear on with our Pikachu and Pichu yeah I don't know
how I feel about the feel of that I'm not too crazy about the way it feels I'm
gonna I'm gonna keep the original back on here as I mentioned before that's
what you're gonna be feeling a lot nice firm snaps into place fantastic now we
just put the legs on
and our last two screws at the very bottom with the new screw standoffs that
supported just to screw it in very slowly of love and care and precision
and there we go we're all set that is my Pikachu Eevee pro controller
it definitely has significantly more life then the previous shell that was on
there the OEM and yeah it definitely reminds me of the Pikachu movie joy cons
I wish that for the faceplate buttons they actually ended up using this accent
Brown in this accent bone color that would have been me with everything on it
feels nice and sturdy and durable go to the system settings make sure that
everything is calibrated correctly ba YX
all the buttons seem to be working calibrate control sticks seems to be
working just fine seems to be working just fine alright fantastic
see ya after it's tested and everything we know what works perfectly fine that
is my brand new custom pro controller I just realized that the name of the mod
is called super switch and it's a modified switch logo this is actually
gonna be resting over there next to my Pokemon stuff with the switch because
while it's gonna stand out a lot more and we don't have a custom controller
