eXtremeRate DIY Replacement Shell Buttons for Nintendo Switch, Crystal Dragon Back Plate for Switch Console, Housing with Full Set Buttons for Joycon Handheld Controller - Console Shell NOT Included

I bought this switch Mod thinking the installation would be hard but it's honestly pretty good. There's some texture on the joy cons and even the back panel. It does glow in the dark like it advertises and the color scheme is also pretty good. Although keep in mind that this is a Mod to your switch and so when you pair your joy cons it'll display your original joy con colors.

I really like this product and LOVE how it turned out! It’s beautiful and feels great. I accidentally dropped it once and not cracks (not a far fall and I’m not saying it’s super protective as I did not test that. So if you want to do this for your kids who drops stuff all the time, I might not recommend as I’m not sure if the cases are as sturdy as they feel). The video was great annd helpful. Overall I love the product. I did run into problems (by no fault of this company) and feel I should let you know if you plan on doing this.First of all, I have no experience in this area. I just like challenging things and building stuff, so I decided to try it. It did take longer than 4 hours for me (only the first set of joy-cons, which were the blue flame ones) and I did break one of my joy-cons (the left blue flame one in one of the pictures). I did the blue flame ones first. Once I was done with the left blue one, I tried it and the joystick wasn’t working properly, so I kept taking apart, redoing the joy-con, and testing it again. After a bit, I accidentally broke one of the electrical components (the thing you put the ribbon cable in). So I got a left joy-con and did the process again, but now (for some reason) it won’t charge and say it’s connected to the switch. It connects separately but won’t recognize when it’s connected to the switch. So not sure what happened there. Another problem I had was when I replaced the back of the switch (the switch itself and not the joy-cons) accidentally stripped the middle screw on the side of the switch. It took a dremel, stripped screw kit and a drill to get the screw out. It was very risky and we’re lucky it didn’t damage the switch. Unfortunately it did do damage to the area around the screw (took off paint and stuff). I covered it with sharpie and looks better (I attached a picture). So BE CAREFUL!!!!Everything (except the one blue flame joy-con) works properly and couldn’t be happier with the out come. Just if you decide to do it, take your time and be patient. Do everything the video tells you to do. Just understand the risks that come with doing this stuff. You’ll break the warranty and you run the risk of breaking the joycon or the switch (you would only run the risk of breaking the switch if you did what we did to get the stripped screw out). I would highly recommend watching the video first before buying to see what goes into it (video is at the bottom of the page of the product). Hopefully this helps!!!!

Really nice texture on the wood shell, pretty easy to do as well

Good product and it looks nice, definitely take your time putting this together. The plastic threads on the hand grips that connect them together broke easily but it is plastic so can't complain that much. It comes with a ton of new screws in case you lose some but I just used the original screws.

I should preface by saying you should either have a good guide or you should know what you're doing before installing these because the joycons are tricky to do without damaging anything. If you're a novice, research the repair before buying so you don't get in over your head.The material isn't the same smooth plastic as the standard switch joycons, this stuff is a soft vinyl covering the plastic frame. It feels softer to the touch and feels really nice to hold, even after the clammy hands start kicking in. It feels like it might scratch easily if it's not kept well, but I haven't had any issues with that, and I transport it almost primarily unprotected in a backpack pocket. Take from that what you will.Decal print aside, the actual molded plastic is durable and the kickstand latches haven't broken for me after a decent amount of use, and show no signs of significant wear (this has been a problem I've seen with other brand housings). After the replacement, the joycons actually seem to fit more snugly in the Switch's side-rails which I appreciate because the original housing felt just a bit... wobbly? Just a bit though. Results and experience may vary.The screwdrivers this kit comes with are *really nice*. It's a driver handle with two separate screw bits, and speaking as a professional repairman, it's a way higher quality than you'll usually find in DIY kits. This is closer to the iFixit brand stuff in quality.The original Switch buttons look better in my opinion because the white lettering is far easier to see, but that's neither here nor there and spare parts are never a bad thing. I also left the joycon SL/SR 'bumper' buttons as the original red/blue because this kit only comes with black and that seemed like it'd be hard to see quickly. Looks a little gaudy, but I rarely see them anyway.Last nice little detail about the Switch's rear housing plate, the kit does come with a replacement dust mesh, so you don't have to tear the one off your original housing plate and try to stick it back on.Overall very, very happy with this housing replacement. Looks great, feels great, and friends have thought much the same.

Great product thank you
