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

The clear joycon shells look great once installed. Everything fits as it should and is pretty easy to replace as long as you take your time. All screws went right in without stripping the plastic. They function properly and have a smooth feel. Plastic doesn’t feel cheap and should last.

Controller case itself is beautiful. Can be tricky to fit everything back on, specifically the SL & SR buttons. This is more caused by how Nintendo has designed the controller though as opposed to the replacement case design. Remember to test those SL & SR buttons before screwing everything back together!

I love the transparent colors of these joy-con shells. The quality looks and feels really great. Feels very durable. The kit comes with extra buttons and additional spare parts.

I will preface this by saying that you need to be in a good headspace and have a clean area to work before you start this project. It's not hard, but it's tedious! Follow along with the video for the glacier shell with commentary on YouTube and you'll be golden.Now, I couldn't find any photos of the glitter shells, so I took a bit of a gamble buying these. I'm so pleased with this color! The listing photos don't do them justice at all. The glitter is a gorgeous rainbow/holographic and the translucent green and blue is like a beautiful tropical ocean. I do kind of wish the buttons had a different texture so they stood out better.My tools were not magnetic, but I fixed that by rubbing a fridge magnet over the bits.I wish this kit included a pry tool for disconnecting the battery.And again, use the video they made for the glacier shell.Overall, the production quality feels great and I'll be recommending these to my friends.

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)

The case is great, second set from eXtremeRate that I purchased. If you are comfortable working with electronics this will be easy, I used my modeling tweezers and snips to help. The internals of the Joycons can be a bit fragile, I accidentally broke the ZL button on one set and ZR on another, but that was my fault. Easy enough to replace anyway.The one thing I found that didn't quite work right, was the minus button on the left joycon. The way the case design is, it doesn't clamp down on the button anymore so the button was pushing back into the case when assembled. Solved that easily with a thin strip of paper inserted which is basically a tiny shim.First set I did took me about 3 hours or so, by the time I did the second one it was just over 90 minutes. Be patient and have a clean, organized work space to organize the small screws and springs. Strongly recommend!
