With expensive limited edition Nintendo Switch colors being released (like the Animal Crossing Switch), people who have already spent money on a Switch or who have no money to spare at all, are left wanting more.
With DIYs and customization, the world is yours. Gain inspiration and motivation by looking at what other people have done, without spending their rainy day fund, to make their Nintendo Switch look unique and personal.
10 Orange VS Blue
Reddit user serotonin_flood made their Nintendo Switch Pro controller using complimenting colors, orange and blue. They hand-painted the body using bright paint that shines through and experimented by using Xbox thumb grips and getting a Nintendo Switch decal to make it appear like a real product.
This is a very simple yet fun and unique design done to a controller to give off that personalized feel.
9 Ash Wants His Switch Back
Everyone loves a good Pokémon modification to any device or object, really. This gives off a limited edition feel, like Nintendo themselves would have made this given a few years and a few fan demands.
This couple used Mario joy-cons instead of the original to get that perfect red. They got a Pokémon decal sticker that was applied to a turned-white casing and put on a clear casing to protect it.
8 Cute And Simple
Instead of unscrewing and putting on an entirely new shell, or hand-painting one to perfection, you can just go for decals! Sunsbookishgamesx has ordered think, adhesive-like decal to simply go over the top of her yellow Switch Lite.
Switch customization can’t get easier than this. She then ordered kawaii thumb grip covers and a glittery clear case and voila!
7 Pink City
AGeekyChick has done a very similar thing with ordering the specific decal design and color she wanted and applying it with ordered thumb grips.
Possibilities are endless when it comes to what you can order online and apply yourself, all you have to do is look! This is definitely the go-to way to DIY because it’s the less complex way to do it.
6 Artistry At Its Finest
Another simple way to add some flare to your Nintendo Switch without doing heavy-duty deconstruction is drawing on a clear case.
Isabela here has a gifted hand. If you do too, this may be the more unique route to go as you can draw whatever your heart desires and make it individual to you without sacrificing breaking your switch or making a mistake on its actual surface.
5 Kawaii Galore
This is another, more simple, way to customize your dull Nintendo Switch without spending too much! Shaunychu has already lightly modified their Switch using adorable, regular stickers you can get anywhere. They took it up a notch by ordering some decals and thumb grip covers to match!
Even without the decals and Switch dock case, just buying some stickers you really like and adding them can make a world of a difference.
4 Grab Your Paint Brush
This video is more of a guideline than a tutorial, giving you an idea of what you can do if you have any ideas and paint lying around. Carritube originally only had colorful stationery tape around her switch, adding a small flare. She then later adds an ordered Switch casing and paints over the original tape that was put on.
Carritube offers up the idea to use pretty casing and then paint the border as you see fit. She doesn’t claim to be an artist, but the idea stands that if you have an empty border and a color palette in mind, only you are stopping yourself!
3 Choose Your Color
Reddit user LestatsMods is clearly well knowledgeable in the tech department. LestatsMods is no stranger to taking apart devices and modifying them to where ever their mind takes them. They have acquired many joy-cons, crafting each one for each idea they had.
If you’re well-versed in technical handling then this DIY may be something to look into. Not only has LestatsMods created a varying assortment of joy-cons using different shells, but they have made it so the buttons glow. Guys, the buttons glow!
2 Throwback
Some people have big brain moves and alsoHarrison on Reddit is one of them. The creativity is endless as this user took one look at their old orange GameCube and decided, yes, this would be epic on a Switch. And they weren’t wrong.
New designs are exciting and can be ground-breaking, but taking it back to your roots adds a special attachment that is unmatched.
1 Pastel Paradise
This user is clearly no stranger to things pastel and couldn’t help themselves after playing with their just-average colored Switch and Pro controller. The process for this outcome may be easier or harder for people. Instead of hand-painting the shells, cute-carrot ordered pre-made colorful shells from a brand online.
If you worry about putting paint to your expensive Switch devices, there are plenty of brands that sell colorful shells and button replacements for your customization needs.
