ToYcon: Build Your Own Custom Nintendo Switch Controller

Discover the innovative ToYcon controller accessory for the Nintendo Switch, empowering users to craft their own unique controllers from cardboard and develop essential STEM skills.

What is ToYcon?

ToYcon is a unique and creative accessory for the Nintendo Switch gaming console. It consists of a set of DIY cardboard controllers that players can build themselves and then program to function as interactive controllers in specially designed Switch games.

The ToYcon set includes all the cardboard pieces, stencils, stickers, and instructions kids need to assemble two main controllers - the ToYcon RC Car and the ToYcon Fishing Rod. Using the included software, players can then create their own games and challenges using these cardboard controllers as input devices. The controllers connect to the Switch tablet via the Joy-Con controllers, which slot into the cardboard assemblies.

ToYcon promotes imagination, creativity, and STEM learning in an accessible way for kids. As they build each unique controller, they are learning principles of engineering and design. And as they program inputs and functions in the software, they get an introduction to coding concepts and computer logic in a visual, playful environment.

ToYcon Labo allows the Nintendo Switch platform to become not just an entertaining video game system, but also a launchpad into interactive education through hands-on play and creation with the unique cardboard Toy-Con accessories.
