Joy-Con drift has been known for years. There are numerous kits online. Check out how to connect your PS4 DualShock controller or Xbox One controller to a Mac. Created by GBAtemp user CTCaer, the Joy-Con Toolkit v1.3 program for Windows syncs with the Joy-Cons and overwrites the code that indicates what color it is. The process is quick and easy, and there's even back-up functionality built into the program if you ever want to revert your Joy-Cons back to how they were.
- Jul 24, 2017 Joy-Con Toolkit v5.2.0 Summary: About a year ago, I bought yellow joy-con shells and modded my Joy-Cons. Then I found Shinyquagsire23 HID-Joy-Con-Whispering and changed my joy con colors and this reflected my new neon yellow color in-game. I always wanted to make an easy tool for that, for the community. So here it is with many additional goodies.
- Change Joy-Con colors within the Switch menus Video With the dbrands skins coming out I remembered this video that allows you to change the color of the joy-con in the switch menu, so when you are configuring controllers or the side bars when you slid a joy-con in and out.

Near Infrared Camera
- Add live configuration when streaming
- Add many new IR settings (de-noise, led intensity, strobe lights, etc)
- Change custom IR sensor registers
- Auto exposure mode (This is done manually, so it's experimental. Expect bugs).
User Calibration Editing
- Add Accelerometer/Gyroscope user calibration editing
- Add Stick device factory parameters editing. Helps when you have drifting issues, that can't be fixed by calibrating the stick. Just raise the deadzone value.

Joy Con Toolkit V2.5.1
Add 2 command line options:
- -d: Dumps the communication packets into a log text file
- -f: Forces the app to not check for connection again. Helps in some cases that the app reports that the controller was disconnected.
Others
- Organize the IR/Playground/Calibration panels a little better
- Many bugfixes and optimizations

Near Infrared Camera
Look through the IR camera of the Joy-Con (R) controller
- Capture and save a photo or Stream video
- Fully configurable
Resolution, IR leds, Exposure time, Digital gain and External IR light filter (filters lighters/candles, sunlight, etc.) - 4 color filters to choose: Grey, Ironbow (pseudothermal color), Night vision (green) and Red

NFC
- Check simple info (type and uid) from NFC tags, credit cards and nfc-enabled phones via the Pro controller and Joy-Con (R)
Edit analog sticks user calibration
- Edit the analog stick's X/Y ranges and centers. All controllers are supported.
This can correct accidental walking and slow running when the switch's calibration does not let you calibrate them correctly.
Updated color edit
- You can now edit the Grips color for the Pro controller individually along the body and buttons color.
(Viewing the grips color is only supported in Switch update 5.0.0+) - The controller preview is now optimized and way faster
Other
- Added traffic logging by using the command line argument -d
- Made it fully non-blocking. Now the app will mostly not hang when the controller is disconnected when it does an operation
- Countless bugfixes and optimizations
