Hardware Place to get Colored Non-Translucent Joycon Shells

[eskinner3742]

Does anyone know of a site that sells multi-colored JoyCons shells? I'm not looking for a custom site that will paint the Joycon, but I want the DIY replacement body shells. I have White already (which look awesome) and all I can find are the official colored shells and translucent colored shells.

All are cool, but I'm wanting solid, non-translucent colors specifically a Black (Not Grey) or Purple. Anyone come across these anywhere? Thanks.

Ask this guy @g00s3y he sold a while ago custom nintendo switch joycons made by himself.

The only ones I've seen so far are the Nintendo OEM colors on Aliexpress and the translucent ones.

Nothing that isn't painted. Only the Nintendo colored shells, white shells, and if you can still find them, gold shells.

It's weird that they're not on the market already. Wonder if it's some weird technical thing like the type of plastic used, but I'm guessing it's just because people seemed keen for the retro clear gameboy look so they stuck to that. Is there enough market space for someone to make money from solid coloured ones? I'd probably buy a couple.

I prefer mine in just pure black, I got the gray version and don't like any colors...

But I guess something like this:

Oh yeah it was the d-pad version that really lacked solid colour options.

I haven't done any painted ones, as dbrand didn't release skins for the joycons, because of whatever texture/coating is on the joycons. I'm not sure how painted ones will hold up in the long run.

There's a lot of people who will paint them on Etsy, but I would be iffy because I can't see it lasting more than a year, unless you barely play anything.

I love the white shells on my Joycons, bought from Aliexpress:
