eXtremeRate DIY Replacement Shell Buttons for Nintendo Switch & Switch OLED, Clear Atomic Purple Custom Housing Case with Full Set Button for Joycon Handheld Controller - Console Shell NOT Included

Bought for my sister along with the purple LED kit. Took her a while to put together but from what I could tell the pieces are made nicely, the included tool is surprisingly good quality, and the joycons look amazing put together. Def buying from this store the next time we need new shells.Also somebody noted in another review, passing it along as it helped my sister's build - use the included screws to replace the originals, as the originals are weak and will give you trouble if you try to take this shell off again later.

I've used BASSTOP's atomic purple shells up till this weekend when I received the eXtremeRate shells. They looked OK but had way too many small problems, and these eXtremeRate shells just blow them out of the water. Simply put, the BASSTOP shells did not fit together correctly, so there were all kinds of problems with regards to button press feel, bulging plastic, etc. They were not suitable for consistent behavior, and I would get phantom button presses all the time which caused me to stop using them pretty much altogether. On top of all that, they had a glossy finish which further detracted from their usability.The eXtremeRate shells remedy EVERY SINGLE ONE of those problems. There are complaints in some reviews about stripping screws, but I stripped the screws that came with the BASSTOP shells when removing those screws anyway, so you're kind of...screwed...either way. That said, I didn't have any issues with my eXtremeRate screws stripping. I used the original external tri-wing screws to attach the outer shells, and those seem to be made better for the most part, so that's a safe bet; and the internal screws aren't super tight going on, so it would take some unnecessary effort to strip them. These shells fit together perfectly, no longer cause erratic button presses due to incorrect fit, and they have a matte finish which is not only way more comfortable to use (glossy slips around too much) but also more accurately reproduces the look and feel of the GBC/N64 look that they are after.Some bonuses with the eXtremeRate shells include:1. Screwdriver which includes interchangeable bits for phillips head and tri-wing screws. And the top swivels, which makes using the screwdriver so much more comfortable. Big plus on that2. Replacements for every screw/spring in either joycon are included. When doing this in the past, I had one of the shoulder springs fly out of the controller when I removed the bumper while disassembling, and it took me literally hours to find it on the ground. You can still use the original parts, but every replacement you could need is included in the box.I cannot be more clear. These are the shells you want to buy. DO NOT BUY BASSTOP.TL;DR:* Everything fits together as it should* Button presses feel as they should* No issues personally with stripped screws* Bonuses in-box (screwdriver, replacements for every screw/spring)

Got the Clear Black shells. Install was pretty straight forward. Hopefully the plastic doesn't yellow like how most clear phone cases do. More than happy with the final result.

Fairly straight forward install. I went step-by-step off the iFix-it guide and was able to get both done in about a hour and a half. Everything went together without issue and feels just as solid as the factory clamshell. I also think they look pretty sweetI left a couple buttons factory for aesthetic purposes but honestly may end up going back and swapping out the buttons for a different color set if I end up having to open these up for anything else (I was doing a left joy stick swap today and figured i'd do the shells while I was at it.)My only advise would be to have a pair of tweezers/forceps handy because they are very helpful with reconnecting the cables. I would also advise using the factory screws and not the ones included with the replacement shell. There is a definite quality difference there, but I'm happy that it's only the included screws that seem lacking in quality.Would definitely buy again, but they seem solid enough that I doubt I will have to.

It's difficult, but really worth it in my opinion. I bought this and some replacement sticks that were "hall effect" and coverted my joycons all at once. The videos I found were for fixing a controller not for replacing shells specifically. I ended up not switching the middle plate, just the back and front plates. So there is an accent of color from the original joycon blue and red, that i think looks really nice. The plastic finish feels a little better than the original. I love the nostalgia factor as a 90s baby to have clear plastic on my "gameboy" again. The only thing I wish they had was like an official video of their own, and some color fill for the letters to make them pop. I can do that myself at some point with white hobby paint.

High quality, comes with everything needed. I would suggest replacing the tri screws for the Philips screws which makes it easier to unscrew and re screw in the future. The Philips screws are also less likely to strip.

Superbe rendu bien attention de repérer la visserie et de la délicatesse

Estas carcasas son magníficas. Después de un rato para la instalación de las mismas, se puede afirmar que el resultado es muy bueno, evidenciando de esa forma la calidad de las mismas. El único punto negativo que le encuentro es la ausencia de unos reemplazos para los botones SL y SR, ya que al tener la versión neón de los joy-con desentona un poco con la estética general del mando. En general, las recomiendo mucho para quien esté dispuesto a abrir su joy-con.

Mit etwas technischem Verständnis, Erfahrung, einem guten Auge oder allen drei Dingen super einfach zu tauschen. War mein erster Austausch des Controller Cases und war in ein paar Minuten gemacht.Die Verarbeitung des Gehäuses ist sehr gut auch wenn die ein oder andere Befestigung des Originals nicht dabei ist. Doch da der hier getauschte Controller ebenfalls gemodded war fiel das nicht auf. Kenne es aber aus Videos, dass die Einschubleiste mit den zwei farbigen "L und R-Buttons" normal auch mit einem Gehäuseteil verschraubt ist und nicht nur wie hier eingesteckt.Trotzdem macht das Gehäuse und die Komponenten einen guten Eindruck, auch wenn es ein paar Komponenten gab bei denen nicht klar war was man damit anfangen sollte. Bei den Knöpfen waren je zwei L und R Knöpfe die bei den Joycons keinerlei Anwendung finden mehr enthalten im Gussrahmen und ein Schraubendreher mit entsprechenden Bits ist sogar auch noch gleich mit dabei.Somit, das Ergebnis zählt und es passt hervorragend. Daher kann ich es nur empfehlen!

Not the easiest DIY by any means, but with tweezers and some patience it all went well. I used Jerry Rig Everythings video, definitely would recommend his tutorial over others. I have a little bit of experience working on small electronics but nothing close to what this entailed. The first joycon was scary but by the time I was working on the second one it was already becoming second nature, I would definitely do this again in the future. The hardest thing was getting the ZR and ZL buttons back onto the shell with the springs. You will hate your life for about 20 minutes fiddling with that but everything else is really straight forward.The quality of the actual shell is great as well, feels nice and soft to the touch and of course they look absolutely incredible in atomic purple. Can't speak to the button quality as I didn't use them except for the SL and SR buttons on the joycon rail, but they seem fine.The tools they provided werent the best, I used my own screwdriver and tweezers I had from a cheap electronics repair kit. Highly highly recommend them over the screwdriver or your fingers for flipping up the ribbon cable latches that are absolutely tiny.Overall, I'm really glad I did this shell swap. The quality is great, they look amazing, and the process albeit stressful at times was fun, especially for a beginner like me. Would definitely recommend picking these shells up!

Bought to replaced the damaged Joy-Cons for my Switch. The original ones were third-party clear transparent but due to the previous owner causing liquid damage to one of the joy-cons and subsequent failed repair work to rectify their given condition and subsequent damage thereafter, so they were sold to me as is (in fully working order however) only described as "needing a clean due to being gunked"These replacements shells are of a better quality in comparison and added with the slight blue tint in colour are more eye catching. Slowly going through the long process of replacement (like for like) and changing the old shells for the new, I kept the screws that were not damaged by the previous owners repair and the stripped head screws were just replaced with the same sized screws supplied with this product. The only main difference is that the four largest black screws that hold the front and back shells together are now Philips head screws (supplied with this product) not the original nintendo tri-wing type screws.A few reviewer have complained about this products being of subpar build quality and easily damaged, this is not the case (in my instance), if you take your time and use the right amount of force to secure the new screws into place (you will have to apply a little more force than usual) I had no issues with damage to the screws nor the plastic parts, the new screws with have to tap into their new respective placements needing slightly more torque in their fixings. Due to how delicate the ribbon cables and subsequent wires for the rumble motor and battery packs within the Nintendo Joy-Cons it is advised to watch as many YouTube Videos of how to dismantle and (of course) reassemble each respective Joy-Con safely, I also used IFixIt's website as a visual cue for the step-by-step process on confidently taking the parts out without damaging them.Each Joy-Con replacement took about forty-five minutes to exchange the set over and in most cases wasn't too difficult to achieve barring one or two annoying ribbon cable mounting points that are hard to access, overall I really enjoying the process of shedding the old parts for the new, also how the colours of the buttons are very reminiscent of the Nintendo SNES era button colour layout too
