Mechatronics engineer Julio Vazquez has designed Joy-Con adapters that make the Nintendo Switch more comfortable for playing one-handed.
Vazquez has two blueprints available for download on his Thingverse page: the first is a shell that holds the two Joy-Con together, side by side, and its design is based on Breath of the Wild's Sheikah Slate.
The second is more unusual looking, slotting the Joy-Con together at a right angle. Check out the pictures below:
Regarding the build, Vazquez said, "This adapter was developed by request of my friend Rami Wehbe, who wanted a way to play Zelda: Breath of the wild using only his left hand; as he lost the ability to control his right hand due to a cerebrovascular accident.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a complex control scheme, and the shape of the included Joy-Con grip doesn't help at all. So, I decided to make a customized grip that would help in this situation.
"This current design was the result of almost a week of research and lots of failed prototypes, as I had to ensure that it would be easy to print, lightweight and practical. After testing that it works properly, we decided to share it, so that it can be of help to other gamers in a similar situation."
The models can be 3D printed by any 3D printer, and you can find the creator on Twitter @Vexelius.
