A Nostalgic Alternative to Solid Coloured NS Joy-Cons
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

Fantastic
It is a fiddly job but this is expected and is at no fault of the cases themselves. Can't speak for durability as only had them a week but they look fantastic and totally worth the price. Screws are fine and the included screwdriver was a nice touch.

Great quality, Good value, but fiddly
Love this style of shell, really adds the retro touch, it’s a very fiddly job so don’t buy it on a whim if your not experienced working with small electronics, but if you are able to, this will bring your switch to life! Great quality, the only complaint I have is the battery sits ever so slightly loose so I would advise some double sided tape to hold it in place.Overall great value & good quality product, looks great in atomic purple. Highly recommended if you have the skills to fit or someone to fit for you.

Not what it’s described purchased this item for my grandson as it describes it lights up and it does not. It took four hours to assemble and my word how pathetic it was to do persevered and done it. Annoying part is there’s no lights shining through.

Fantastic if you have patience
Had a left and right joy cons from 2 separate switchs mangled by my kids so decided to try and save them.(and some money.)Watched videos on youtube to get an idea what to do.one where a guy did both in 10 minutes and didn't mess around with ribbons was the best imo so look out for that one. Please note there are three types of screw and they are not interchangeable so make note of gold and silver ones. The scewdrives in kit worked well for me (rubbed them on a magnet to help with tiny screws).I did the left in 30 mins (did have to try solder a bit back on) but broke a ribbon just as I placed last screw.🤬Second one took about an hour but also had to try solder the same bit on this one, a tiny bit that is a internal button for shoulder button.Both were broken before my diy so not taking the blame for that 😀Both worked fine after i finished, apart from the not my fault shoulder buttons 😇 (guess need to work on my soldering skills 😄).The ribbon i snapped only affects when you use it sideways so still both usable to a certain degree but guess i will need to purchase new ones after all😒In summery good kit,do your research, take care with the ribbons and if you open it and a little button from the shoulder is already broke you've wasted your time 🤣

High quality and fit together nicely
These are really good quality and the kit includes a fell set of screws and springs aswell as a small (but useful) metal driver.It also replaces the Tri wing y screws with PH0 ones so you can properly secure them back together.Ace.

Avoid! CRACKED IN HAND
I'll leave my old review below but be advised, OK me joycon cracked in my hand without pressure. Just heat I guess?The screwdriver mentioned in previous reviews is gone. In is a robust, magnetized, bit swappable driver.The kit is great. Near OEM quality. Joycons are a PITA to dissemble. This kit takes some of the stress way, with spares for everything.I recommend swapping out the springs for the shoulder buttons and ribbon cables for SR SL supplied by Nintendo. The ribbon cables will eventually break on all Joycons due to the way they were manufactured and assembled with a harsh crease. The springs are fine, but fresh ones will bring some extra tension back to the shoulder buttons. Those are included in this kit. The ribbon cable is also available on Amazon.Drop of 99% ISO in the thumbstick should clear out any debris to avoid drift. Nintendo really messed up with these Joycons charging premium price for a sub standard product. But that's for another review.

Nicely made, looks great
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.

Impresionantes
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.

*TOP* einfach zu tauschen, da sehr passgenau und gut gefertigt.
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!

Difficult but doable, and absolutely worth the hassle!
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!
