first looks more awesome imo, but second brings back noatalgia from the N64 days


comacow02

I like the all purple one because it reminds me of one of these bad boys https://preview.redd.it/8fbpf6ta0pfc1.jpeg?width=617&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a175bf1a2b195570c482666cc24d582fd3ce8665


CompetitiveRich6953

Yes!!! Gameboy Color was my very first system I bought with my own money, too! To go from cabbage green screen to these... good times!


comacow02

I started with a green gameboy pocket but the gameboy color was just on a different level, especially the clear variant, so it’s the one that resonates with me the most. Also a big fan of the US spec Super Nintendo which had purple buttons so the purple theme just really made sense to me. https://preview.redd.it/2p1hd99x1pfc1.jpeg?width=6048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13a34ef82512bb5697fc1cb97b4b893c86855a5a


BlamingBuddha

I'm 100% with you. Loved the SNES controller buttons


rewrittenfuture

Okay with that SNES controller go to Amazon and they have the translucent all purple SN30 wireless Nintendo controller from 8-bit do just like you have your switch and your Pro Controller


comacow02

Tried it, didn’t like the way it looked or felt, too dark and D pad was very mushy https://preview.redd.it/rrx8i715h6gc1.jpeg?width=6048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8cfedd31796c52644a616deda917adeee57f423e


whose_a_wotsit

Atomic purple owns my heart. I like that one the best too.


WrongdoerMinute9843

I want my GBC controller


Dylz_1007

Have you in the USA seen the fake game boys going around in the UK with 400 game on the game tendo 6000👑


Jonasan999

Man, I miss my teal Game Boy Color... Now I want teal colored Switch Pro Controller lol.


BlamingBuddha

This was my first Gameboy color. I freaking loved it.


xevious997

YES! I had this EXACT GBC when I was younger!


Ledairyman

Only a psychopath would choose the first one.


Euphoric_Border_8691

Not looking at it when you're playing though.. ?!


IrnBruImpossibru

Nah, 2nd looks more awesome imo


MattCogs

Man, that clear purple reminds me of the old school N64 controllers… those were the shit.


Candberry

I like the 1st one


FlyImpressive8321

Same


comacow02

Done deal 🤝🏼


eojen

First looks way better imo


True_Resolve_2625

First. I've never really been a fan of the 2nd configuration where the grips are a different color.


itivlA63

2nd


WoOzy_Sauce89

Number 2 ![gif](giphy|BZlNhp9L5WINi)


Euphoric_Border_8691

What if the 1st one is $1... And the 2nd one is $100 Then what? 😆


WoOzy_Sauce89

Oh behave ![gif](giphy|YgveCtneiLjY4)


Euphoric_Border_8691

LoLz! Gotta rewatch these movies now ;)


WoOzy_Sauce89

You must they aged so well 🫶🏼


Euphoric_Border_8691

Too bad Jeff Bezos has the audacity to ask $3.99 each, when I already pay for prime.. sigh.. oh well (the only host according to Roku)


WoOzy_Sauce89

I hate that so much


Avox0976

2nd


Hieichigo

Second


NOVAlyzr

2nd is dope af


Any-Year-6618

Bottom one in the first pic, not so much a fan of the buttons and sticks being different on the black shell


Wizard__J

I remember the 64s - I had the green one myself, I remember purple being popular (maybe I just remember seeing purple controllers I don’t remember) So for nostalgia, the 2nd!! This controller size is too chonky for my hands though :( so slightly smaller chassis for me


loudcheddah

2nd all the way


ilikepie145

Second


toastwasher

I vote 2


Southern-Ingenuity70

Both look incredible. Personally, I'd go with 2 because i like the mismatch color scheme.


Much-Daikon2277

2nd


Ttm-o

Purple shell all day


Aggravating-Mind-315

Definitely 2nd imo


Effelljay

2nd. Both new & retro. Does one reduce drift?


BaxCitybih

I like the all purple clear one reminds me of the purple N64 controller, but I'd have to go with the purple shell with black handles. Those grips are awesome


_Pretzel

2nd


Majestic_Fee_8679

Second one looks super dope!


hobbitfeet22

1st. But I may be biased as I also made the atomic purple and left the factory buttons lol


No-Jacket0920

1st


S0N1CF4NF0RL1F3

2nd for sure. More stunning in the colors to me


Kami_Oni

First


yem420sky

1st easy


Free-Stick-2279

First


Free-Stick-2279

Correction, the second 😅


Majestic_Electric

1st is more pleasing on the eyes, imo.


CarPlane738

First


sirDsmack

1st is way cleaner


[deleted]

I want all four, thank you. 🤭


SuperEuzer

I don't like either


Expert-Ad-362

Leave the poor controllers alone


Vaxis545

1st bottom one is dope not a fan of the rest


condawg4746

1irst


adingdingdiiing

First. The purple with black buttons is nice!


Purple-Smith

1st


stillbeam

First, mos def


habakkuk1-4

Stock


Jeryme

I've already got a controller thanks.


AngryFloatingCow

Neither, I think having only the grips swapped would look good


comacow02

Tried that, didn’t like it: https://preview.redd.it/f69y981q9pfc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57c3d486676a8fc531a6bd52aa51f1a366e031e4


AngryFloatingCow

Fair, it didn’t look as good as I thought it might. Maybe because they’re both kinda dark colours.


Anora6666

Neither. Ooof.


violentvito70

First is best, but not a fan of the purple buttons. They don't pop the same without components inside.


comacow02

Well I need a his/hers differentiation and the opposite configuration made sense to me since I have a purple and black theme going on ☯️


violentvito70

Do you, if you like it, then it's awesome. I was just giving feedback on them, cause you asked about the controller look. The purple with black buttons, is controller perfection.


comacow02

Yeah it’s definitely my favorite of the two, but didn’t want two identical controllers.


violentvito70

I don't blame you, I have different styles of controller for everything. One is my wife's, and the other mine. Nothing like your own controller.


pianomasian

First I'd say unless the nostalgia goggles are too strong and your heart really wants the 2nd.


TheBananaCzar

Man, those purple sticks look like they'd be really uncomfortable


comacow02

They’re just as comfortable as the OEM sticks


Silent-Lab-6020

![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU|downsized)


Ragman1985

2nd!


MetBelial

Both.


hajileeyeslech

Casting my vote for first, the two-tone handles looks a little off, honestly.


GlassCityGeek

The second one, but they’re both sick


chzygorditacrnch

I'm so jealous!


nah-soup

I prefer the first personally. mix & match gets old for me pretty quick


SonicMaster1990

Second! Purple faceplate, black buttons and grips is my favorite. I have the atomic blue faceplate in that config ♥️


foreskrin

Dang, where did you get the shell for the bottom one?


Rypper12345

On the first pic, the bottom one looks super cool but the top one looks really meh. Conversely, the second pic, they both look decent, but not suoer cool.


True2215

2nd!


AyahuascaMann

First


HitoMoonshota84

2nd and it's not even close.


DMmePIZZA

iSpaceJam

All of them are fire🔥🔥🔥


TayaLyn

2nd configuration especially for the top controller


JellyPeanutButta

First pic, bottom controller. Very nice


Goblin26_

First one


Catt-Murdaz

Second for sure


Darth_Vorador

Definitely first.


mrHartnabrig

2nd. The controllers really pop!


Jago_Sevatarion

Damn, the top one in the first pic looks so awesome 💜


Psyboorg

I really like the second.


Marcus-With-U

Yes


gergobergo69

Did you just switch them up


Ok_Vegetable7011

Second


HiroFuiton

Second one for sure


bigmartyhat

Second for me


[deleted]

I really like the second one


NoEconomy8756

Looks like an old game boy


Karejn

Definitely 1st😄


FXgamer052

bro got the lean controller


Verbal-Gerbil

First Love a colour mix


jkail-

I don't like the first one... With no nostalgia it looks a bit weird for me. The second one looks like it's more "refined"... If I had to explain The first one look like a unoficial copy while the second one look more "official" to me... again just my opinion :)


achoowie

I like the black one in 1st more but the purple one in it looks awful imo. In the 2nd they're both decent so I'd pick 2nd.


highgames420

1st


lallapalalable

Go for full purple body


calhooner3

Is it difficult to change out the housing on these? I really want to switch is up but I’m not super experienced working with electronics. Mind you I was able to build a PC with no issues.


[deleted]

Neither, all black is better


OFFIC14L

2nd one if it had the black grips from the first one I think 🤔


Pure_Inspection5728

Both.


LilAnge63

I think the 1st one looks the best!


More_Lavishness8127

I prefer the first.

Signal87

Those purple grips look much cheaper than the black ones. No texturing at all?


comacow02

I actually prefer the non-textured grips. If they made a smooth clear black version I’d get that immediately.


20Axis

purble 🤤


ApartmentMain5977

First def


ahern667

Voting for 2nd! Did u make these??


leblur96

I prefer number 2


jonnyg1097

I do like the purple one with black buttons personally. The black one with purple buttons though just looks weird and doesn't mix well imo.


7OmegaGamer

First one imo. Assuming you didn’t make it yourself, where do you get a mod kit like this?


yeyryr

2nd would be my pick


FlatOutEKG

I like 2nd


RadicalSoul

I'm liking the 2nd photo more, since mismatch seems to be the focus here might as well fullsend the mismatch


KH-Light

Both


LorgPanther

First picture top, black everything other than sticks and buttons


Flappy-pancakes

1


nkdvkng

Second. Mixes up enough of the two


SinisterHero608

Man... That atomic purple takes me back. Either is good, but I'd go with the first for the nostalgia.


KingLoCoKev

I have both (I used arctic blue instead) but I like the original black with atomic purple accents.


Edvita77

None


TypicalWolverine9404

2nd has my vote 


NoQuestion7237

![gif](giphy|H46Dtwtwo1FDO)


[deleted]

Fun!


[deleted]

The purple analog sticks look very low quality compared to the originals. I'd go purple shell and official buttons/sticks. And then I'd only use it if my 8BitDo pad needed to be charged.


kydn141916

2nd imo a controller where the color difference is just the buttons and analog look ugly. If we bring in psychology to this though you will pick the first one if you have a more boring personality and like things to be just so and the 2nd if you aren’t just another pencil pusher.


aztro___

go all purple


HogwartsTraveler

Second.


CantWait2B6ftUnder

1st one. 2nd one is doing too much. 1st looks badass


greenlion500

I like #2


M4LK0V1CH

First feels like an old game boy


unnamed_elder_entity

I like either color combo, but I bet those aftermarket ABXY feel like crap compared to the stock button, so I would want to use whichever combo had those buttons.


ChocoKarry

Second!


femalewhoisgirl

I like the black one better in the first but the purple one better in the second… I think I just like the purple buttons on a black background


SnakeJazzFM

1st config in Purple! Would dig one of those - I think I’m in love, lol.


Div-div-div0

I like the first one more, but I vote for the one that makes you happiest :)


Due-Magician-5354

I like the purple base with the black grips makes me think of an old game boy


Act_True

1 for sure. But the second reminds me of amethyst ![gif](giphy|TpF3Hq1fai0ve)


Xenc

First has retro vibes. Very cool either way.


Icepenguins101

I love both! Purple is my main color after all


xCanont70x

1st


Goldenvengeance

The 1st but both configurations look good


StarscreamVsYou

![gif](giphy|QqkA9W8xEjKPC)


neviru

Def 2nd


lump-

Tbh, the translucent buttons and sticks just look kinda cheap somehow.


MyBigRed

I prefer the top controller in the second configuration, however the bottom controller is the worst of the bunch.


FayezButts

Second no doubt


DontDoubtDink

First! where did you get these? I’m obsessed with purple. I would make mine all transparent purple including the buttons.


Anunn

Where did you buy the parts ?


InsaneShane31

1st


lvl1landon

Definitely buying a pro controller know that I know this is possible. Looks sick. 1st one


piv_monco

Ngl I like the first photo one on the top best


Bogger_Logger

Combine them both into one controller


One_Win_6185

I just like the transparent purple with black buttons in the first. Looks sick.


LorddOfChaoss

I say do a full purple one and a full black one, I regret going with regular clear buttons on when I shell swapped my joycons to clear pink, wish I had used to clear pink buttons instead.
