DIY Joy-Con painting is a delicate process. If you're new to this, make sure you take them apart carefully to avoid damaging the components. Use the right type of paint, and don't forget a primer! I learned that the hard way. Also, a high-quality clear coat to protect your art from wear and tear, especially if you're a hardcore gamer.

Why spend time painting Joy-Cons when they're just gonna drift and be useless in a month? 🙄

I see custom Joy-Cons, I upvote. I’ve got a collection of shells from all sorts of places, I swap them out like every month or so. The Celeste theme sounds sick, though. Would love to see pics if you're up for sharing!

I covered mine in stickers from all my favorite games, then sealed it with a clear coat so they won't peel off. It's like a collage of my gaming life on my Joy-Cons! 💜🎮

Wish I was artsy enough to paint my own. I just bought some custom shell cases online, does that count? They're these cool translucent ones that remind me of the Game Boy Color. They were a pain to install if I'm being honest, but they do look awesome.

Ooh Celeste theme, that's rad! I went with a pixel art design, reminiscent of the old 8-bit Mario. It was super time-consuming, placing all those tiny squares of color to not mess up the whole pattern. I had to use the tiniest brush I own. Totally worth it though; it's like holding a piece of my childhood every time I play.

I made mine look like the original NES controllers. The grey, black, and red color scheme really takes me back. It's all about that retro aesthetic for me. Wish Nintendo would release official retro designs, but until then, it's DIY for the win!

Nice! I've always been big on DIY projects, so I decided to try my hand at customizing Joy-Cons as well. Went with a Splatoon ink splatter design across mine. Used a combo of airbrush and hand painting for the effects. They look so splashy and vibrant, I can’t even describe how much I love 'em!
