So thank you guys so much for all of the support and all of the amazing subs. And you guys watching my videos like crazy. Let's get into RG Bean, a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. So you're probably sitting here looking at this table and you're like, what the hell is going on? Well, I had this company called Extreme Rate. Send me an RGB kit for a Pro Controller. I had to go out and buy a Pro Controller because I didn't even have one. And this is how far I am. You got to see some of the clear plastic buttons here, all that jazz. RGB for Switch. Do you need it? No. Is it overkill? Yes. Is it going to be really cool at the end? I don't know. Let's find out. In fact, you know what? They actually sent me this Mario themed. Well, it's not really Mario, but like this red faceplate and back plate. They sent me like this thing here. They also sent me this GameCube colored thing. See? Atomic purple. But I think I think we're going to set these faceplates aside. Maybe we'll do a separate video on these faceplates, which kind of sucks because that means I'm going to have to I'm going to have to literally take apart the Pro Controller again. But that's for a different video, a different problem. Set that aside. We're going to keep putting the base Pro Controller back together to see what the RGB kit looks like with it. Faceplates. Totally different video. All right, let's just keep going here and, you know, we'll speed through this as we can. Oh, by the way, it comes with some really awesome instructions and and we have a kit. This is the I Fix It kit. One of the I Fix It kits is the specifically it is the Manta precision bit set. I use this for pretty much taking apart all electronics. There are a few things that it doesn't have, like a set of tweezers, although credit to extreme, it does come with tweezers and a screwdriver. The screwdriver is not magnetic tip, though. That's why I'm using the I Fix It kit, which is about 50 bucks for this kit. I'll put a link down Amazon link down in the description affiliate link. And if this stuff turns out really cool, I'll put an affiliate link for that as well. So let's just let's just keep going. Not the craziest Nintendo Switch Pro Controller modification you have ever seen. That's right, folks, we are bringing RGB to the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. All right, so here's a this is a close up at the controller. Now, the purple for some reason on the camera is flashing, but it's not flashing in real life. But I want to show you guys how you set up the RGB. So when you first set it up, all the buttons will be red like these buttons under here on the shoulder buttons. So you want to hold down L and Y for about five or 10 seconds until the left stick here begins to flash. So we'll see here. It's flashing there. And then you throw right on the D pad to change the color. So you can change the colors to blue to green. The purple one that looks like it's flashing to teal and then to red. So we're going to actually go ahead and set this on red here. And now to move to the next button, you just hold you hit the left button and the Y button again just quickly. And now the D pad is flashing. So I'll change that one to green. All right, we're going to get rid of these flashing sticks here and make the sticks both red. Oh, yeah, and you can turn them off. Now, what's interesting as I'm going through and changing these colors is that you cannot these lights stay on at all time. Now, there is a low power mode that happens when the battery is low on the controller, where all the buttons will go blank and then you'll still be able to play for a little bit. And you get about six to seven hours of gameplay time with the RGB on. And then you get basically 15, 16 hours if you just want to leave the controller idle with your RGB on. But you can turn it off. Unfortunately, you have to go one by one button. So you go in here like you're changing the colors and then you just literally go button by button by button to turn them all off. Now, I still have this here. So we're going to we're going to move on to the next set of buttons here. We'll also make these green. So kind of go with a Christmasy kind of theme here. And then we're going to change that flashing purple for you guys. Change that. Let's see here. Oh, it looks like I set these up for a little little flashing mode. We're going to change that as well. So now we're on the bottom ones. We're going to leave those red after the stick, deep ad. Back over to the buttons. Another off the red, another green. And then to be done with it, you just hold the L button and the Y button again for five seconds. It wasn't quite five seconds. So we'll hold it again. And then there you go. So now you see you kind of got a red and green theme going on here on the Nintendo Switch program. So again, these are by extreme rate. There'll be a link down in the description for those that are interested. I'm going to go back and sit down. We're going to briefly talk about the experience installing this bad boy. All right. So I would say installing this is definitely for a little bit more advanced users. People that are comfortable taking apart electronics. It's not too difficult. Taking off this little ribbon that works for the shoulder buttons is probably the most difficult because Nintendo had this like glued down when it didn't really need to be glued down because the little the actual buttons that push in would suffice to hold it in. But for some reason, like when you install this, there is, you know, no glue on the replacement cable for this that has the RGBs for the shoulder buttons. And then the RGBs that go under here are actually attached to the top board. So you end up replacing the top board. This is the top board right here. You end up replacing this board with a new board. And honestly, replacing the board isn't that hard. It was just like a couple of ribbon cables. It even gives you an extra ribbon cable here if you mess up the ribbon cable so you can end up replacing it if you need to. I ended up not needing the extra ribbon cable. Everything works just fine. It's pretty straightforward. The I got to give extreme rate a lot of credit because their instructions here are very detailed in color photos zoomed in on all of the little finer details to give you all the tools you need. Now, personally, I still prefer the whole magnetized stuff here from from I fix it. But you don't have to go and buy this kid. It does come with everything you need to actually build it and put it together. You know, I did use their tweezers that came with quite a bit. In fact, I'm going to put all of the original switch stuff back in this box so I don't lose any of the OG stuff. In case I feel like putting it back or when I install like these faceplates that sent me later, you know, when I do a video on that, you know, if I decide I want to go back. It is what it is a little more difficult to put the top cover back on because you got to plug a ribbon cable on while you have two additional cables attached to the top because these RGBs on these sticks come from the top board. And I just noticed now that my one button, my capture button is actually off to the side. I'm sure you guys saw that earlier. I'm going to see if I could fix that without having to. Yeah, there we go. So I didn't end up having to take it apart to fix it. I just kind of wedged it with a screwdriver. See, I would say these extreme rate modifications are really, really cool. I'm probably the only person I've seen in the whole world with an RGB officially licensed switch roll controller. Now, one thing you guys might be wondering is how do the buttons feel? To be honest, they feel identical, identical to what Nintendo gave. Now, one thing I am interested in is these. I always had a problem with stick grind. So what happens is this plastic on the official ones is hard, not as hard as the outer shell plastic. And so I would get a lot of grinding and then that dust would get in there and that dust would end up giving me drift and all that. The plastic on these sticks is a little bit different. It's a little smoother. See, this has like a matte finish, whereas this is more of a smooth finish. And I wonder if that smooth finish is going to have less grinding. I'm it's going to take me many, many months before I'll know if that's the case. But I'm going to be using these RGB like crazy. You see me using it in a stream or whatever. I'll advertise it down down in the description as well for that. These are going to run you now. This entire RGB kit is going to run you between 30 to $35 on Amazon. Again, affiliate link down below. It is super, super cool. The only thing I don't I dislike about it is that that, you know, if you want to turn off the LEDs, you have to go into each individual button. It would have been cool if they after you turn off your switch and have all this stuff disconnected, if you if they would have been like, oh, if you hold in like, say, both shoulder buttons and why it would have been cool if they were to do something like that. This is actually a suggestion I'm going to give to you extreme rate is that you add a second main command to just shut it all off at once. So, you know, RL and then why at the same time hold it down and have that all shut it off for five, 10 seconds. I think that would be ideal because I went through their instructions. I wanted to make sure that there's not something I'm missing in here. They, you know, they have a Q&A section, you know, in the Q&A, you know, how long do the lights work normally? You know, we talked about that already. They stay on for six to eight hours in game, which is pretty close to the normal battery life of a pro controller. Anyways, and stand by time, you know, basically just sitting here with the lights on like this, it'll do that for 15 days. Literally, if it's fully charged, 15 days of just the light showing, which I think is kind of cool. Why the DTFS lights of joystick areas are flashing in game? The answer would be the power wires of the joystick is touched with the metal part of the 3D joystick, which causes a short circuit. You need to take apart the controller and restore it out the store. Yeah, so there's like these little power lines in there. They do suggest you put a piece of tape to hold them down. Electrical tape, I didn't do that. I might have any issues. It's an optional thing. It doesn't, this is not included. But if you do end up getting a short problem, that actually fixes it. While the controller buttons work fine, the LEDs don't glow. The DTFS cable enter a power saving mode automatically when the power is low. The controller will give priority to supplying power to the buttons. So again, if you're playing and your lights go out, that's a sign you need to charge your controller soon, but you can keep playing. So that's kind of the cool thing. So, yeah, again, there's no no official way that I can tell to shut it off other than going in there, holding down the L and the Y button five seconds and going about my button button is shutting off each individual life. But again, it gets 15 days. So I mean, it's a lot of battery life on a pro controller. So you guys, let me know what you think about this down in the comments. Well, do you think this is really, really cool? You saw it up close where it looks way better than it does back here. I want to thank you guys for tuning in. I would say that this is probably one of the most successful, coolest products ever. And folks, can you frickin believe it? I RG bead a Nintendo Switch pro controller. Welcome to 2020.
