Help me solve the problem, after changing the color of the right joy-con, only the P stick works. There are no other buttons.

is there any solution to put the joycons in low-power-state within the console?
having to connect them to pc to achieve this each time is a pain

Anyone have the original (regular) Pro Controller colours? I need all 4 colors. Thank you.

Non-original joy-cons and pro-cons are cannot been update firmware via console. Maybe colors too.

Hi !

I'm having trouble using this on a pro controller. I can edit joycons fine, but when I connect a pro controller and try to open the program, it only tells me that no device is connected, no matter what I do.

I've tried with 2 original black ones and a smash one, to the same result. Windows recognizes them fine (I use them in games sometimes) and microsoft requirements are up-to-date. I currently have a built-in Intel bluetooth receiver with Intel drivers, but switching to microsoft drvers didn't help (plus, it works with joy-cons already).

I've seen a few people for who having a joy-con and a pro controller connected at the same time fixed the issue, which didn't help in my case. Does anyone have another idea ?

Thanks !

Maybe because the program is called Joy-con" toolkit?

What are you trying to achieve?

What it can currently do:
  • Change colors of your Joy-Con and Pro Controller (plus left/right grip)
It says in the original posts that you can edit pro controller informations. I wanted to see what colours I could edit, as I plan to make a custom paint job as a gift for a friend.

Edit : I also saw this thread which has screen captures of someone using the latest release with a pro controller

ah, perfect, try also AIO (https://github.com/HamletDuFromage/AIO-switch-updater/releases/) it can change the color on the console directly, on the tools section of the AIO there is a change controller pro colors,

could be a test.

for my Pro Controllers 1 of them no matter the method I was unable to change the color, but the other 3 changed the colors so easy. never found why.

Sooo...
I didn't use AIO afterall, since my current Switch is still vanilla. I got into joycon_toolkit's source code instead and dare I say that this project looks COMPLEX !

I was able though, by improving on someone else's fork, to pull of a quick fix that should allow any pro controller to be detected properly (this fork also implemented support for third-party devices, but I didn't test it).

I basically have the coding knowledge of a fly looking at a bowl of alphabet soup so I am definitely not confident enough to provide a proper release, but to anyone that knows how to use visual studio, my fork can be found there.

Please note that I just messed with like 2 lines of code so my controller could connect and just tested editing its colors, I have NO IDEA if anything else works at all...

(and no, that's not the color scheme I'm planning to keep xD)

Hey! I’ve been looking everywhere for a way to change the colors of my third-party controllers, I don’t know how to use Visual Studio but I’d be happy to test your code with third-party controllers if you could compile it for me to be able to use!

Hi there, yesterday I changed my repaired yellow (Wario colour) joy-con which it displays as red colour. And works perfectly I would include on requirements section to update as much as you can windows and of course joy-con firmware. On the other hand I wonder if it's possible to not just change all colours of the buttons but change them one by one. I bought a Snes Jap\Eur joy-con shell and it would be nice to have all the buttons with it's own colour scheme (red,blue, green and yellow) on both joy-cons. Is it possible or exists some firmware or hardware limitation to implement it in that way?

Great job with this tool. Regards
