How to get the Animal Crossing New Horizon exclusive docked switch with any joycon!

Alright so this is a simple guide.

All you're doing is using Joycon Toolkit to change what your joycons register their color as.

If you're using CFW and would like a switch based homebrew method to do the same thing, scroll down to the red text. If not, continue.

First you'll need to get the latest Joycon Toolkit by CTCaer here.

I've attached a config to this that has the colors already baked in.

Simply extract it to the directory of JCTK,
Connect left joycon via bluetooth,
Open the program,
Set the left set of body and buttons (yellow box),
Hit OK,
Then hit "Write Colors."

Do the same thing with the right joycon, but use the right set of colors (purple box.)

After that, just make sure you're on atleast update 1.1.0 and then play the game.
You'll get mail from Nintendo and inside will be a present containing the ACNH docked switch.

Enjoy!

For CFW users, you can use the homebrew app made by CompSciOrBust that will set your joycon colors to the AC ones, and reset them back to the stock Nintendo colors you choose, or any of your choosing by editing the config.

You can find it here!

P. S. Make sure you let other people boot their AC game with your "AC" joycons so they can get it too (or show them this post.)

Incase you wanted to know what the hex colors are, snarkygoblin posted them on the main thread for JCTK.

Green body: #82FF96
Green buttons: #0A1E0A

Blue body: #96F5F5
Blue buttons: #0A1E28

Can you get this by connecting the joy cons to a switch lite as well or only the regular switch?

Good question, I would guess yes because you don't actually need to phyisically connect the joycons to get the item, you just need have them synced as player one and start the game. Hopefully someone can actually test though.

Compatibility with these sorts of things is horrid, it's a miracle I could get the NSUI to work
Couldn't you spin up a windows VM? Virtual box let's you pass hardware directly to the gust os and windows 10 let's you use it without a license for 30 days (and even after that all it does is add a water mark).

Is there no way for this to work on version 1.0.0? I want to do this on my clean sysnand, but don't want to update to 1.1.1 (and don't know if it's possible to update to 1.1.0 without using cfw)

Hi everyone, sorry to up this topic but I am not sure
I play the game for more than a week on my blue/red Switch, and I will receive the ACNH Switch in few days, will I still get the ACNH display in the game simply by launching the game with the New Switch ? I won't need to restart a new game ? Thanks for your reply

I'm not sure if you'll be able to transfer your save between the two systems....

As a heads up, I bought one from Nook Shopping's daily deals, so it is possible to obtain them without modifying the joy-cons, but a LOT of luck or time traveling is required.
