How to get White Joycons (Including UI)
Requirements:
- Money (Roughly $20-30)
- Existing JoyCons (or cheap used joycons from ebay e.t.c)
- (optional) Windows 10
- Tri-Wing Screwdriver (for opening joycon)
- Philips Screwdriver (for inside joycon)
- Purchase White Shells
Personally I went for Amazon as stuff like Ali-Express and Ebay aren't great for quality.
These are the exact shells I bought from Amazon.co.uk, you can probably find the same one on Amazon.com e.t.c
- Replace your current JoyCon shell with the new ones
You could also purchase new cheap used joycons from ebay, perhaps even slightly broken/bent/dirty/e.t.c and re-use them to spare money!

TIPS:
- When your tightening the 2 screws near the R/ZR and L/ZL do NOT tighten it fully. Tighten it almost loosely. Otherwise your -/+ buttons will be extremely stiff, almost unpressable.
- When taking apart the ZL/ZR buttons, be extremely careful not to break it off or the 2 springs will fly out possibly into your eye or never to be seen again. Mine sprang so far I was looking for it for 30 minutes, couldn't find it, Packed it up with the 1 spring I had left, (was still working) and then found it literally inside my iFix-It toolkit where the screw-top-bits go in.
- Remember when putting in the buttons that they are the right orientation and position, otherwise for example, B will be where A is e.t.c
- The reviews on Amazon note about - and + buttons being too stiff/flush with the case, this is NOT true. They tightened the screws too much like I explained in Tip 1.
- Change the UI color of your JoyCons on the Joycon Firmware
Download @CTCaer 's tool here, this allows you to edit the UI colors. instructions are on the thread.
- Done!
You now have 100% white joycons as if they are from the factory!
Only difference between these and official ones if they ever get released, is a different material, somewhat better quality, and FCC notes e.t.c on the back of the joycons.
