Blue Flame Skull Kit (Joycon LED replacement)

I purchased this kit and this is my review of the LED kit. I blindly analyzed the entire project and used my knowledge of electronics to carefully redesign the console and make these exchanges. Take your time (took me 4 hours total) or find a shop or friend to do it for you. That being said, if you plan on just swapping out the LEDs and nothing else, there's an easier way to do it. Carefully lift the plastic piece holding the LED ribbon cable and remove, replace, just do it the other way around. If you're doing a shell surrogate, you can do this step almost anytime. It's easiest to reassemble, and you have access to the circuit board under the battery compartment. Be sure not to disconnect other cables when disassembling the joycons. Carefully transfer whole intestines. Check out my respective Switch and Joycon reviews for this kit for more tips. The docking station is pretty simple, that was my first way to do this job, if you see a screw, take out the screw and put it in. Use as much force as possible and make small movements when turning the screwdriver. This kit comes with a nice gold multi-bit driver, which is handy to use, but you need a small one to remove the screw on the bottom right after you take the board out. The LEDs are nice and bright, but the switch's diffuser doesn't make them annoyingly bright, as if you put the joysticks in a comfortable grip, they won't dazzle your face. Get the work done for the whole project and you will be happy with the results. I will also have reviews of the switch and joycon set as well as the dock set, just look at the photos above for an easy review!
