I’d like to mod a joycon to have the Y button pushed down all the time. Does anyone know which points on the joycon could be used for this? I’ll likely use an on/off switch.

You could:
1) remove the Y button from the shell and use a maintained push button in it's place

2) solder 2 wires to the points you found, feed them through the shell, and wire the switch externally

3) Take off the black IR Blaster plastic and put the SPST there

4) drill a hole and mount the switch in a spot that isn't too awkward, such as above the X button or next to the home button

Or you can buy Titan Two and make any script mod related to controllers that you would ever want for any game, maybe the cheaper Titan one will work too or CronusMax (this one require another adapter sold separately).

Titan one you have to check how it works, titan two I know it fully supports the switch, but with those devices, they need to be connected to the console via USB and for Joy-cons wireless you will have to buy a bluetooth adapter.

they get kinda expensive, but then you can use them on PS3,PS4,X360,Xone and use almost any controller out there on them and with mods (for PS3\360\PS4\Xone you also have gamepack mods for a lot of games from them that do a lot of stuff and you can even modify them on-the-fly with menus using controller's leds or make your own scripts, they also alow to use mouse and keyboard if the device is connected to a PC, Titan Two I think it doesnt require a PC 4 that, but you would have to check as I only own a old CronusMax).

This is an example of a gamepack mod on CronusMax

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Are you being for real, cause that's hard to believe, DK is Nintendo and made in japan, Sea of thieves was from Microsoft, in America. I'm not calling you a liar, just didn't know.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ok yes they were both made by Rare, but DK was from Rare back then, Rare now is owned by MS. So makes since.
