It's cool to see how many options someone has to modify their switches and the different ways to mix and match. A metal switch with gold buttons doesn't sound as farfetched of an idea anymore.
Awesome video Bob as always! Thank you for taking the time to take a look at these shells! I'm glad you now have a reason to use your Switch Lite more and that you now have another set of tweezers 😀 Cheers buddy!
If this chassis can be aluminium I would love to see a version with a rainbow pvd coating. It's basically a glossy rainbow colour that would look so cool on a console like this.
And here I thought I was spoiling my Switch Lite by upgrading from a soft case to a deluxe travel case. Also, upgrades like these nowadays make me think "Do I want a snazzy-looking Switch Lite? Or do I want to drive my car?"
My wife walked in when the couch ad came on. She's been wanting to get a wrap around couch, but she hasn't found on the right size. This is perfect. But I love the one we have, It's a soft leather that's easy to clean and has power recliners on each side. Might try and put it in my office, if it fits. Guess I'm moving my work bench in the attic... lol
I enjoy your videos quite a bit, good detail, entertaining sponsor segments and you promote other content creators instead of only making your own content to do the same thing as they did. One of the best subscription choices I ever made in gaming. Thanks wulff den!
The joy cons make my heart flutter, but I'm not 100% on the Lite shell. What I am 100% on, though, is this video! Thanks for another great upload, Bob!
@slide man I don't expect them to drop it and I understand the price. Used to work at American Aluminum Extrusion. Personally I can't justify it. I would still put a grip on it.
@@ragnarocknroll9445 nah nvm I thought u was talking about the switch lite not the case this case is hella overpriced even $100 is a lot I would say $50 is reasonable
The sticky joy con button is from putting in that button at the wrong angle. Mine were doing this too and I took them apart and noticed the bottom of the buttons have a very particular shape to them that tells you how they should sit in the shell. Hope this helps.
Looks sweet, but I would definitely only do this with a gray Switch Lite. I like the indigo color we have and wouldn't want to mess with it or combine silver and indigo.
Watching this video made me remember that I have a Switch Lite. It was great for 2 months but I think the screen is too small and I hate the fact I can’t dock it so I switched back to my OG switch and literally forgot I had the Lite. Thanks for reminding me now I will go find it after this video
I've watched these so long but have no intentions of doing the mods. I really just watch this channel for your deadpan humor/charisma and the aesthetics of these Switch mods. I would love to do some of these mods if I had the budget to have an extra Switch but alas I do not and on top of that I'd be too afraid to really get into prying open a system afraid I would mess something up. I have started tinkering with broken past gen handhelds I've picked up at thrift shops and garage sales for super cheap and I think that's a good place to start experimenting with simple beginner modding.
It's definitely a lot of money. IF I'd exclusively play handheld, I'd buy a Switch lite and I'd definitely do this mod. It looks great and the extra rigidity while travelling is worth it.
I did this mod- I also had the sticky shoulder buttons- I *gently* mashed the button on my soldering mat a few times and it is all better- but then again, the plastic frame piece between the buttons is chipped on one corner- I won’t lose any sleep over that. I also used aftermarket buttons to get a black and red theme- tried 2 different dpads that just weren’t working and ended up having to file down the post a little- now it is perfect. Only other thing that hasn’t been mentioned (-‘d this may be obvious when you stop and think about it)- amiibos don’t work through the aluminum shell. Last tip- test the device before you close up the back- it is tough to close the shell and I feel like it puts potentially hazardous pressure on the charge port if you open and close too many times. Check buttons, joysticks, touch screen, sound, headphones, card reader, Bluetooth, and Wifi. Other small considerations- swap the joysticks while you are in there- they are under $10 for a set and you will be in there anyway. Plus you can use a different color stick if you want to theme the device. Getting a new digitizer can help pull the whole thing together (but color options are limited to OEM colors as far as I can find) just make sure you have some screen adhesive. As long as you use heat and go slow, the digitizers aren’t too hard to get off and replaced.
Dang, you got me with the product placement. Glasses bob was wearing the varsity style hoodie in the ad spot and that made me remember they were available and I picked one up.
Love the video. (the look on Wood's face LOL) I have seen Macho's video but is always nice to see other people try it and give their experience with it.
This video has not sold me on the aluminum mods but has 100% sold me on that Lego brick separator cuz I'm sick of the crappy spudgers and picks that come with parts and tired of breaking guitar picks trying to open electronics haha
Personally i love love LOVE the look of metal things, but i typically dont get them because i live in a place that gets both really hot in summer and freezing cold in winter, both of which can make holding metal painful.
The price would be fair if the machining was much better than the one you have mister Wulffden.When the maker uses a company like "Vanquish Products" to get there machining done and then make a complete set that's for my OLED and Joycons and I'll pay $300-350. Again if the machining is up to a company like the above-mentioned companys quality standards. They make premium RC products in volume.
I mean it’s no handy boy but that’s pretty sick. I prefer the switch lite too, other than the garbage cloud save stuff. Great video as always, might need to get a solder station soon. They’re a real time saver.
I have a normal switch and I love it so much 😍 I recently got a case for it and it's soft inside like my dog Ace and it has a red packet to hold games and micro sd cards in
2:25 _You're so fuckin' upgrade _*_with_*_ you_ ...wait- _Your sofa can upgrade _*_with_*_ you_ Right, that's exactly what I heard the first time, uh huh 😅
The price of the shell is what really stopped me from going this route back when I modded my life haha. Went ahead and swapped it into a Glacier White one instead but man this does look good!
@@stormevans6897 it would’ve been from someone else, I only started modding late last year. I remember seeing a metal shell but thinking it was too expensive, chance I’m thinking of the joycons. Shell swapped a pair of those last year too.
It's cool to see the options one has to mod a switch. I don't think I've seen a Nintendo console before having this amount of customization available. That said, yes, this one in particular doesn't appeal to me personally. Maaaaybe for a full Switch OLED as it is already the premium option, but for a Switch Lite? Idk, I like the colorful look the Switch Lite has. Looks fun and enticing already with its plastic look. The solid metal with nothing else kind of gets rid of that without really replacing it with anything. It looks to me a lot more boring instead of the desired sleek look it has going for it. Plus, not having the buttons or the cartridge/SD slot be metal as well makes it less seamless and thus less appealing personally. I mean, I would already be paying premium price so It'd be nice to fully furnish the Switch lite, except for the parts that of course could interfere with signals and components and such.
Gotta be real, at 10:51 the grain is DEFINITELY on both of them. Like it looks the e x a c t same when you show them side by side. Exact same “grain” appearance.
I have a couple boxy pixel cases and the switch lite case in this video- there is a difference but it doesn’t really show in Bob’s video- the lite case on the side almost looks like wood grain (really just machining lines)- the only place you would find that on boxy pixel is inside the case.
Wolf dude! From the $200 you can almost buy a new switch... But I have to admit that the Metal joycons are really stylish. ... 4 tha Decadent playaz maybe a must have🤷♂️
I just wish it was available. Every site I look at has it sold out with no time frame of when it will be in restock. Yeah, its expensive, but at the same time, I cracked my switches front shell by switching out the thermal compound, so having an aluminum/metal shell would definitely prevent that from happening again. And since its a gen 1 switch, it would be perfect for retro games.

Brass Switch would look awesome in my opinion.
Now for the NintenGods to allow themes w/o having to hack
@@191. brass is actually an option for the metal joycons wulff has
what about the combinations of that couch
Putting wood's reaction to frying his switch on there was priceless
Gotta say… you got the patience of a saint. This and the Mario Maker runs are bonafide testaments to it

U mean like the Dialga version lol
There’s a black metal version also.
@@Fadedglory14081 Nice Envoy of the Beginning prof pic my man
buys a $200 mod kit, proceeds to use a file kit on it. love you bob.
and doesn't replace the digitizer leaving blue on that nice metal shell lol
1st thing that came to mind was it's the same price as the console itself
Imagine leaving that thing in a car during the winter. Freeze your hands off
Or in a car during the summer! Melt your hands off!
Love the feeling of aluminum frame on my phone however during the winter it’s impossible to hold while you’re outside at -15 brrr
Shoutout to Macho Nacho, nice!! Huge fan of both of these channels
Wait for Nintendo to come out with a Lite OLED
An lite with a OLED screen?😂
@@404gamerunavailable Yup. I bet you they're making that. It'll just be the exact same size as a Lite but with a large OLED screen.
@@404gamerunavailable Why not? Every phone has an OLED Screen nowadays...
lite oled gonna cost same as switch non oled so... not worth it
@@michalkusmierzak3951 nah it’d be 2.50 same markup as the oled

do you get compliments on your green screen choreography? you should make a whole video with it cause i love actually love watching your ads
The joy cons make my heart flutter, but I'm not 100% on the Lite shell. What I am 100% on, though, is this video! Thanks for another great upload, Bob!
Watching Wood's reaction to sparking the battery gave me a hearty chuckle
For $100 yes! But $200 I cannot justify it on a $200 system. Still want it tho lol
Maybe $175 or $150 how the hell would they cut the price in half?
@slide man I don't expect them to drop it and I understand the price. Used to work at American Aluminum Extrusion. Personally I can't justify it. I would still put a grip on it.
@@ragnarocknroll9445 same same, the lite is already Abit uncomfortable to hold imagine making it heavier.
@@ragnarocknroll9445 nah nvm I thought u was talking about the switch lite not the case this case is hella overpriced even $100 is a lot I would say $50 is reasonable
Shit should be like 60 bucks tops for the materials .

Love Tito and macho nacho!
And Bob too, of course!

2:13 this was so well done
I've never been this early, but that's one SOLID Switch Lite
You are getting incredibly good on these ads, so good that I am starting to believe that there are two of you
I think the switch is the console that no one’s will ever be the exact same. There’s so many color options, 3rd party custom shells.
Watching this video made me remember that I have a Switch Lite. It was great for 2 months but I think the screen is too small and I hate the fact I can’t dock it so I switched back to my OG switch and literally forgot I had the Lite.

My man Macho Nacho has a great TH-cam channel.
Macho Nacho is an awesome guy, genuinely love the work that man puts into all his videos and mods.
Love the look of the final build.
I feel like the Silver/Blue/Black/White color combo would be a good new look for your channel as well.
Full aluminum shell is something I've been wanting for a long time... for my OG switch.
2:25 threw me off to think you cussed at me for a second LOL
You should change the bezel color to white with a screen protector as well
I don't have money for games, i barely have money for food. I just like the quality of these videos
So an ad in an ad. I appreciated it non the less.
I have a confession to make Wulff! I only come here for the ads LOL A metallic blue would be awesome for the Switch Lite.
Loved the throwback to wood messing up on the battery 🤣🤣🤣

I'm at the point where I watch most of these videos to see the ad, this one delivers 🤣
You know, it's funny. I had the idea for a modular couch back in high school as a final architecture project. I'm so happy it's a thing
That is one clean shell. Definitely a bit too bougie for me, but still looks incredible!
Dang, you got me with the product placement. Glasses bob was wearing the varsity style hoodie in the ad spot and that made me remember they were available and I picked one up.
you doing this with a hairdryer and a lego separator gave me more confidence than my father ever did
It's pretty cool but I got one of those transparent plastic cases for my Switch Lite and totally love it!
Wulff Den adds are so fun! Even if they don't have anything to do with gaming, lol.
As soon as the $200 came up on the screen. A involuntary hope came out of my mouth.
Editing is fresh!
You need some nice metal rims before you go out drifting I guess.
Love the video. (the look on Wood's face LOL) I have seen Macho's video but is always nice to see other people try it and give their experience with it.
Nice Samus poster at 1:40! where do I get it?
that was the best ad read i’ve seen
I really liked the editing of this video
This video has not sold me on the aluminum mods but has 100% sold me on that Lego brick separator cuz I'm sick of the crappy spudgers and picks that come with parts and tired of breaking guitar picks trying to open electronics haha
"...well... *CLICK* it!
Bob Wulff's face after he realizes that he didn't need to file that part down... PRICELESS!
Gotta say, seeing an apple logo on the Switch dock is giving me giddy vibes.
Thanks for the video on my bday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday bro

Why is metal on and held so awsome :) I love it
Bob pushing out videos almost as much as i be pushing p
I need a Switch lite. They look so cool to me
Your sponsor spots remind me of woods, but with a bit more spice haha they are great!
As someone with a lite that's seen the metal joycons I've ways wanted this
This would look awesome with the light gray of the Pokémon switch lite
"your sofa can..." reminded of that old DangerDoom album
I have a normal switch and I love it so much 😍 I recently got a case for it and it's soft inside like my dog Ace and it has a red packet to hold games and micro sd cards in
The grey Switch Lite with aluminium body gives me unibody MacBook vibes.
matching turquoise buttons/sticks to that bezel would be absolutely stunning
2:25 _You're so fuckin' upgrade _*_with_*_ you_
...wait-
_Your sofa can upgrade _*_with_*_ you_
Right, that's exactly what I heard the first time, uh huh 😅
That's some solid metal gear.
Your ads are very entertaining 👌
Clearly the Switch Lite needs an Apple sticker to match your OLED dock!
Looks dope af.
Just use a Wi-Fi extender in any room to improve the signal if your having trouble.
Or one of those signal booster stickers from the 90s 😂
I still prefer my transparent new switch than any other titanium, gold18k, etc. that I’ve seen
You would make a perfect Harry Dresdan! In my mind, you look just like him!
The price of the shell is what really stopped me from going this route back when I modded my life haha. Went ahead and swapped it into a Glacier White one instead but man this does look good!
Back when? Isn't this macho nacho shell new?

Can you provide a link to the glacier white one? I dont like any of the current colors and I've had turquoise, grey, and coral so far.
Awesome review Charlie,hope tou don't stop with them 👍
Tito is a good guy. Love his videos.
2:14 I've been stuck here trying to figure out how he managed to not only kick the couch but also perfectly time the reaction
I hope Nintendo gets into metal hardware one day. Aluminium devices feel really nice to use.
Much easier to reclaim too if you build then modular

I work at an aluminum anodizing company and would love to turn this all types of colors
I’m playing Pokémon on my switch lite right now 😦 what a coincidence. I don’t have the money for an oled switch. The switch lite is perfect for me ☺️
When it comes to modding nintendo consoles are like the Honda Civic of gaming

This is cool but teal has to be the worst possible color for this mod. I’d kinda like to see it with waluigi purple
If only there was a purple lol

You can get screen protectors that will cover that blue from the lite with a different color like black

personally, I'd love a pair of black metal joycons to match the metal shell of my switch.
They really need to bring down that price. Spending 200$ on a metal enclosure is insane.
Love these type of videos Bob. Good job Bob.
For that price I'm amazed that it didn't come with buttons and door flaps etc.
That's actually what's stopped me from purchasing it. My little brothers would love this as an xmas gift.
Omgg he’s so crazy. Love him!
Cool that it exists.
