Ever looked at your Nintendo Switch controller and thought, ‘I wish I could jazz this up with some new colors’? You’re not alone! Many gamers want to personalize their gaming experience, and changing the look of their controller is a great start.

So, if you’re wondering how to change colors on your Nintendo Switch controller, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into the colorful world of Nintendo together!

The Quick Answer to Color Changing

Here’s the thing: you can’t change the colors of your Nintendo Switch controller directly. Nintendo designed the Joy-Con controllers with fixed colors. However, don’t let this news dash your hopes! There are creative ways to customize your controller’s appearance.

One popular method is by purchasing different colored Joy-Con controllers or skins. Nintendo offers Joy-Con pairs in various colors and designs. By collecting different Joy-Cons, you can mix and match to create a unique look for your Switch. Additionally, skins or decals can add patterns, themes, or colors to your controller without the need for buying new ones.

Why Can’t You Change Colors Directly?

Manufacturing controllers with changeable colors would require complex technology and could increase the price of the controllers. Nintendo focuses on providing a wide variety of solid-color options and limited edition designs instead. This approach allows players to personalize their setup while keeping the controllers affordable and durable.

However, for those who crave even more customization, the market is full of third-party accessories and skins. These additions not only let you express your unique style but also protect your Joy-Con controllers from wear and tear.
