eXtremeRate Soft Touch Grip Red Joy con Handheld Controller Housing with Full Set Buttons, DIY Replacement Shell Case for Nintendo Switch Joycon & Switch OLED - Joy con Console Shell NOT Included

Firstly I'd like to point out this is not a 'snap fit' style kit, you will have to take apart your joycons and you will need the right tools and confidence to do it.This kit is brilliantly well made and the parts are fantastic quality. The difficulty factor is on Nintendos part manufacturing their products in such an obtuse manner. That being send with plenty ofpatience and good lighting you can easily manage it.The set comes with full housing for the internals, replacement screws (you'll definitely want to use these as triwing screw are the worst) buttons and everything else in between including the tools to fit it.The red set I chose has the 'soft touch' effect and feels really well made, the contrast against the black of the unit itself looks really good. The original button fit with the casing so you can choose to keep them, as I did, or you can use the replacement one the set comes with, it's entirely up to you.Sadly, and this is the only downfall I have, is that the set comes with no instructions what so ever. Whilst this can make it challenging to go ahead and attempt to fit the new covers (in some cases it took me and the other half as on pair of hands just wasn't enough lol) the result is definitely worth it and I love the new look its given my Switch.I will point out I found a fantastic step by step guide on YouTube that helped me fit this set and its really worth having a look yourself for one to watch watch of before you attempt it if in anyway unsure...I've included during and after after pictures for anyone curious.

I wasn’t ready to pay £80 for official joy cons so gave these shells a try. It was so easy to install and they feel and look authentic. My only disappointment was that the box didn’t come with written instructions and was instead a video online, but this didn’t affect the product in any way. They look great, and I’ll definitely be getting more!

I have broken one side of my Nintendo switch controllers and was looking to buy new ones. I clicked onto this product and looked at the pictures and was like” yes this looks good and customisable aswell” so I ordered it. Turns out it was only the case. I am so pissed but your poor advertisement. A case for the joy cons should be the first names for it not somewhere down the line. I was really expecting good controllers instead I got a case for them. Please change your pictures from a controller to just the case because this is really confusing and annoying.

I recently purchased eXtremeRate Joy-Con shells from Amazon for my Nintendo Switch (V1 model), hoping to give them a fresh look. The kit included the necessary tools, which were decent for the task.Replacing Joy-Con shells is a fiddly and challenging DIY project. It involves tiny screws, delicate ribbon cables, and many small parts. I spent a couple of hours on it, following a detailed YouTube guide. Patience is crucial, as it's easy to make mistakes.The result is a mixed bag. While the new shells look great and the color/finish is good, the fit isn't always perfect. I experienced some minor creaking and a slightly less "solid" feel compared to the original shells. All buttons and sticks function, but the "realistic" part is that it's tough to get them feeling exactly like factory originals.For the price, it's a decent way to customize, but be prepared for a demanding installation and potential minor imperfections in the final feel. If you enjoy a challenge and manage your expectations, it can be a rewarding project.

First time reshelling my joycons so I didn't know what to expect. Found the process pretty easy with a good youtube tutorial and all the spare screws/springs etc included in this set. Like most, I chewed the old screws with the supplied screwdriver but I think that says more about the screws themselves and how cheap and rubbish they are. I used the spares to fasten the joycons back up and the quality difference is obvious. I didn't bother changing the buttons as I prefer the blacks ones, however I would have liked some matching sl/sr buttons which I didn't receive in this kit and thought odd. Had to keep my old ones which are the original colour scheme. Bit disappointing but you don't see those very often so not too bothered. The shell cases feel nice. More matt than nintendo joycons but I quite like that. Can't speak to the button qualifty as I opted not to use them.I'll probably buy some more in the future to shell my other set of joycons. So yes, I would recommend these if you are thinking of doing it. The spare parts are a life saver, between chewed screws and a spring that disappeared into the cosmos, they came in very handy.

This product has the same solid feel of an authentic controller. It locks in to all controller and console connections as you would expect. We were pleasantly surprised by the very long battery life, as we are yet to recharge since the initial charge up (over a week of regular use ago!) and there is still a lot of battery power left! One interesting thing to note is the vibration... which is MUCH louder than in authentic controllers - I'd love future releases to have a method to decrease the strength of the vibration to pull it closer to Nintendo's controllers - but other than that these are an excellent buy. Colours perfectly matched photo.
