They look great, but what – exactly – are you doing with your Joycons that they are “cracking to bits”?!

Cracking to bits?

If your joycon’s were “cracking to bits” you were mistreating them.
Madunong
How tf are you “cracking to bits” your joycon?????
Einholcz_A
How many is “so many”?

Cracking to bits? What are you doing to them?
Also, those look cool. Chrome paint?

How heavy is it when in handheld mode?
Mythulhu
Got any pics with you holding them? This story seems to be… Cracking to bits.

I seem to have struck a nerve with the cracking
I don’t mistreat my stuff, I swear, I think the third party replacement shells are just awfully made. For example, I picked up my switch from my bedside table and was greeted with a cracking noise and this: https://imgur.com/a/5EdCja3
The stock shells are just fine, though I think I remember seeing hairline cracks when I was replacing them for the first time all those years ago
I’d also like to add that I misspoke in the title, I meant shells, the internals are my original joycon from day 1

I would like to ask two questions.
1) where can I get a pair
2) what the hell did you do to your old joycons to have them crack to bits?
nitroturbo21
He thanos snapped his old joysticks
cometsands
Bro wtf you doing for them to crack?
Mysterious_Grand_304
Can I crush them to bits if I lose in Mario kart or are they THAT strong?
ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp
$100 is a tough sell but they are CNC’d alu. The anodized purple ones they sell are fucking **beautiful** though.

I’ve never had an issue with the controllers breaking. These are neat though. But are they heavier?
mapman2017
What kinda animal is handling them to be destroying to bits. I’ve had mine since the switch launched. Not cracked.

“Cracking to bits”?? How the hell hard do you hold your controller??
AgentSkidMarks
What the hell are you doing that you keep busting up your joy cons?
ZacharyStarks
He must use them as stress testers haha
Groudad
I just want to reply so that I can type “cracking to bits”.

Wonder how the metal shell effects range.
If I’m gaming on the couch cross legged, my leg is enough to apparently cause my joycon to have I connection issues.. From just 8-10 feet away.

Lol what the hell where you doing with them to crack them?

My 5 year old got a switch on her 5th birthday 2 years ago and still rocks the original joycons and she abuses the shit out that switch. Works like new still. The only scenario of them “cracking to bits” i can imagine is if you attach them to your switch with a damn hammer

Curious to see if over time you notice any impact on wireless performance when using docked. Year one there was the issue with connectivity of JoyCon that Nintendo addressed, but I don’t think they’ve ever had the strongest wireless connection and benefit a lot from direct line of sight between JoyCon and the console. Without knowing where the antenna actually sites, those things look pretty enclosed.

OP, do you have an issue with grip strength? If the regular plastic shells for your Joycons are cracking, is it possible you’re holding them too tight? Maybe you just don’t realise how hard you might hold them.

What is not being stated here is that something is happening to this switch that is out of the ordinary and is stressing materials of the structure too much. The joycons are purposely made weaker than the switch itself such that they break and can be replaced instead of the main switch unit. By inserting extra strong controllers like this you are now going to be transferring those heavy forces to your main switch units so your next move will be to buy a brand new switch once the main thing breaks and you have unbroken controllers. Just my thought, they look cool.
DiabloDerpy
Those are fucking sexy lol
BadNicknamesYT
Mine are fine, what do you do to break them, also they look cool
skipv5
Cracking? Have had my Switch since parch launch and no issues with joycons cracking.
amaya-aurora
The fuck do you do to your joycons to have them crack??? The hell??

Animals everywhere in this thread. How hard is it to take care of your things?
Arkantos92
I have launch joycons without a scratch. Take care of your shit people.

Question- does this cause issue with the controllers staying connected to your switch? I had problems with distance (even 10-12 ft) with my plastic covers, so i can’t imagine using metal would help this..
