Joy-Cons Clear “Game Boy Pocket” Mod - Nintendo Switch Retro Gaming Controllers Black Buttons and D-Pad

In 1996, seven years after the original Game Boy was introduced, Nintendo released the Game Boy Pocket: A smaller and lighter successor to the already iconic handheld gaming console, thin enough to fit in your big pocket :)

The Game Boy Pocket also had a true black and white display with reduced sprite blurring, an improved gaming experience compared to the "pea soup" monochromatic display of the original Game Boy.

This unique Joy-Con mod is a tip of the hat from us to this wonderful piece of gaming tech: The Game Boy Pocket, in a clear shell version.

If you were an 80s or 90s kid or maybe you are simply passionate about retro gaming, this set of Joy-Cons is an essential addition to your gaming setup.

If you love this design, check out our “Famitsu Game Boy” Joy-Con set, a tribute to the Game Boy Pocket’s 1998 backlit screen variant, exclusively released in Japan.

The custom build features black ABXY buttons with printed Game Boy A and B, a Game Boy Pocket “speaker grill” design, left black D-Pad and a printed Start and Select under the + and - buttons.

We also went for a Red Gamer LED mod option to complement the Game Boy’s power indicator. You can choose this from the drop down menu when you check out.

Once your Joy-Cons are assembled with new shells, buttons and Analog sticks, we program them so the Switch recognizes and displays their new color.
It’s the perfect final touch to make them even more organic with your beloved handheld console. 

When you checkout, let us know if you’d like your set to be made out of NEW or REFURBISHED controllers. BOTH options are made from original Nintendo Joy-Con controllers and look and function exactly the same.

So, what’s the difference?

Made from New are made from brand new, out-of-the-box Joy-Cons.

Made from Refurbished are made from fully tested and refurbished Joy-Cons someone didn’t need anymore.
We love giving them a new purpose with brand new parts. It’s not only great for the environment, but also gives you Joy-Cons that have so many stories to tell ;)

We’re proud to be making everything ourselves, with our own two hands, using only the best methods and parts.

If you have an idea for a custom-made order you didn’t see in our shop,
contact us and let us know what you were imagining and we’ll do our best to make it happen. It’s the best part of what we do :)
