Those little accents around the analogue sticks are likely all you&#8217;ll see when the Joy-Con are attached to the console. And that&#8217;s fine, y&#8217;know?<\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re not especially pleased about this, then accessory manufacturer Dbrand might have you covered. The company has revealed that it is launching &#8216;ColorMatched&#8217; skins that will effectively take the accented colours of the new Joy-Con and apply the same colour to the entire controllers. The result, provided to apply them properly, is pretty neat.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\"><!-- cache: oembed\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/dbrand\/status\/2009361502298632314 @ 2026-01-09T13:25:03+00:00 --><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">dw guys we fixed it <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0xPrrozqap\">https:\/\/t.co\/0xPrrozqap<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/57BKW5ZLSt\">pic.twitter.com\/57BKW5ZLSt<\/a><\/span>\u2014 dbrand (@dbrand) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dbrand\/status\/2009361502298632314?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Now, we&#8217;ve never really been fans of Dbrand&#8217;s &#8216;edgy&#8217; humour, since it often borders on being completely unprofessional, but there&#8217;s no denying its quality when it comes to controller skins.
