I was not able to get the Neon Switch and was stuck with the Gray one as I wanted a low serial number for robot reasons. I picked up a used Neon shell on ebay for 12 bucks and this program is going to give me the ones I really wanted.

Can you keep the light always on when the console is not turned off / in sleep mode?
Also is there any method to do the same with the Switch Pro Con?

...is there a way to edit the Retail/Grips/Custom Color Sets? I am unable to affect any swatches by clicking on them on "Select Presets" page. ...else, is there a text file I can edit in folder: Joy-Con_Toolkit_v5.2.0, that would change the default swatches?

Really impressed by this tool. Just installed some clear purple shells on my joycons and within 5 mins I could use this program to set them to an appropriate colour. Well done on all the hard work, fantastic piece of software!

Hi! I wonder if someone can help me... I have Used the toolkit before... i have 5.2 version, and everything was great. Today, I receieved a new shell for my joycons, i changed them, and when i tried to use the toolkit it says:

Connection Error!
The device is not paired or the device was disconnected!

the thing is... it is paired to my pc... and then i tried other joycons and nothing... could it be that the last firmware of the joycons makes that the toolkit doesnt recognize them? because is the only different thing i have. Any other idea would be aprecianted if you can! Thanks in advance :)

I've been trying to change the grip colors for my Pro Controller but all it does is change the color of the whole Pro Con to black.. I was only able to successfully change the colors of the buttons but the grips default to black even when I change them..

I've been having issues trying to change my pro controller grips too. Looks like it was an oversight in the program after pro controller support was added, as the fields above the "write color" button only show the hex values for the body and the buttons, despite being able to select a value for the grip colors as well.

Are there any plans for an update to the tool?

Is there a way to change the colour of singular buttons on this? I have this shell and I can't change it through the application to give me multicoloured R-Joycon buttons.. Just one singular colour. I also need to change the D-pad completely.

Can this be done using a wired pro controller? I bought a wired GameCube pro controller but in the menus it shows as black, I was hoping to make it purple. Is that possible?

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
