Right-Handed Grip Controller Modification for Joy-Con

This 3D printed device allows for Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons to both be held comfortably in a user’s right hand. The Joy-Cons can easily slide into the slots on the 3D printed modification and are set at a slight angle to allow the right hand to access all of the buttons and toggles on the controllers. The controllers can then be detached from the 3D print when they need to be charged. This 3D print is intended to be used in the user’s right hand, but a left-handed version of this device is also avalable.

To use this device, take the attachment side of the Joy-Con and slide it into the slot on the 3D print. Make sure that the Joy-Cons are inserted into the 3D print with the buttons facing outward. Place the right hand under the now mounted Joy-Cons and get familiar with the layout. Alternatively, one can place the mounted Joy-Cons on the table and the user can use their right hand on top of the controllers to play a game. Once the Joy-Cons are placed in the 3D print, the Nintendo Switch can then be turned on and used to play games or watch media.

This video shows in more detail how to use this Joy-Con grip.

This controller adaptation makes it easier for someone who may have a difficult time holding a controller with both hands, or has greater dexterity in their right hand.

This is a beginner level build that involves 3D printing.

This device consists of a single 3D-printed part. This assembly video demonstrates how to assemble the grip with the Joy-Cons.
