we've done a lot of gaming themed setups on this channel based on a variety of big-name paddles and sometimes you've gotten a little over the top a little excessive with how we show some of them off but one game that I know you guys love and we want to see more stuff of is fortnight we've done a couple different fortnight themed things in the past but something we haven't really touched I think is a really big missing piece is customizing our very own fortnight themed switch so what we're gonna do is we're gonna customize our switch the joy cons and the dock we're gonna take a look at a couple different accessories as well to round up the whole thing so that we have the setup that's not only celebrating a little before tonight but also giving you the best functional experience playing it as well first things first we want to customise our switch in dock for the colour scheme as we want to celebrate the game and there's a couple different ways you can go about this depending on skill level price that kind of thing some of the pricier or riskier options include doing things like paint jobs but you really want to make sure you find someone you trust to do that or even shell exchanges I think a good safe option for most people though is a skin so we actually went with skins from deep brand they make a whole bunch of bones that are safe to use on the switch and when thinking about colors I associate with fortnight the main ones that really pop in my head are blue purple and sometimes yellow florin a dozen really have a singular color that use all the time because it cannot changes all the seasons but those the ones that I feel kind of recur the most so went for a blue skin on the switch itself this was actually my first time applying a deeper and skin to a switch itself and I was a little intimidated at first I was very probably a little overly cautious when applying it but it really isn't that bad at all I followed the instructions step by step and it was pretty easy you just have to apply the kickstand and little flap right here for the game card first then you do the back of the switch and that's the one that can get a little weird because you have to like carefully wrap it around screw holes and stuff and then the front is actually really easy because you have this like fake cover that goes over the screen so it's just one solid piece first and that just comes off after you get it all sealed around the edges so it actually turned out looking really nice so as for the joy cons like I said other colours are really heavily associate with the series as the seasons have gone by are purple and yellow I didn't really like the look of doing the yellow and purple together as one unit but doing either of them simultaneously looks really nice so I'm leaning towards double purple right now though as for the dock I wanted to do things a little bit differently but still maintain a common theme so I kept the same for the front of it but then we went for a white trim instead of the purple or yellow in this case I really like the way it breaks up on the front I will say too that during the whole deeper end scan an application thing the only part that did not me a little bit was doing the side on top of the doc because you have to very carefully apply this thing and wrap it all the way around without accidentally getting off-track so I still did it I think it turned out great but yeah that's that's the one to be careful on I think out of all of this now another reason why I went for the white on this is because I think it's gonna work really well but the next step we're gonna take for customizing these little further because I think the color schemes are great to kind of get the base idea across but as of right now if you just show this to someone they're not gonna think four guys are gonna think blue and purple so we need to start adding a new symbol something that replaces the switch logo that just screams for nine that's where vinyl stickers come in before this idea we picked up a lot a lot a lot of different vinyl stickers that are for night beam these are not hard to find at all you give me just go on Amazon and find a whole bunch of different ones but while shopping for them and picking a bunch up we realized that at least for the switch itself you got to be really careful what size sticker you get because you can be a little deceived by how much room you have to work with because yeah if you just go by the size of the switch there's quite a bit here but if you want something that's gonna be centered and look really good on it you've got to be worried the fact that you can't use the bottom here because the vents and the kickstand really messes stuff up for horizontal space because you really only use this area here if you want it centered so the two options we have I think I'm going to work best are the actual four-night logo at the city which looks good but I think it's a little too off-center it's too little too wide for our space so instead I want to go with dude hang gliding it I think this really just screams for tonight right away I mean it's weight every single patch starts so we're gonna have this set up and just angle it a little bit so it's gonna fit around all these little things in the way so with that big doubt for the switch we got to look at what we wanna do for the dock and there's a couple of different ways we could approach this we have a few stickers that are just tall enough in the right size that can fit on either side of the switch logo for this if we can go with the pinata right here but actually the idea that ended up being really sold to me is taking this logo that we almost put on the switch and putting it right on the front we're gonna cover up the switch words and have it just Eclipse the switch logo a little bit notice has this like Disney Castle vibe I really dig and think it's gonna look really cool so let's go ahead and get these attached right now to our dockets which so we've got our switch and our switch dock all set up next let's take a look at some accessories to really rent out this whole setup to really make it a fortnight's which when it comes to improving your game the main two things to look at is how you're controlling it and how you're listening to it now for control the droid cons look nice and all I think the purple is a great aesthetic but let's face it if you're not playing in handheld there's better ways to control the game especially docked so you want to go with the switch pro controller and a way to improve this is with thumb grips now there are some branded ones for fortnight I mean they're not officially for night but they're battle royale ones that look like they definitely fit from control freak they don't actually make them for the switch pro controller but turns out the ps4 ones fit it perfectly fine now this does give you a raised surface which you might not like for both sticks so another great option they have is the ones they actually recommend for tonight specifically these are the CQC combat ones they don't have quite the same height on them but this is designed for switch specifically grips nice and tight and makes it a lot better for your thumb on the other hand if you're feeling a little more morally ambiguous about what counts as cheating there is also a keyboard and mouse that how it works on the switch as well which is definitely useful for tonight I'll have that link down below along with all this other stuff and we actually did the dedicated video covering it which I've linked at the end of this one as for audio there are a lot of awesome gaming headsets out there but they are all available for the switch normally because the switch lacks Bluetooth compatibility but there's a couple ways to fix this and one of the latest ones that's really cool and you can look forward to dedicated video on this soon is the Genki adapter this attaches to the bottom of your switch so in handheld mode you're able to use it to use your favorite pair of Bluetooth gaming headphones it also has an adapter that connects to the dock of the switch so you can use it for dock mode as well o else have this cool light-up thing I found it doesn't really do anything improve your game I just think it looks pretty
