Review: Nice and unique - I recently purchased the eXtremeRate DIY Replacement Shell Buttons for Nintendo Switch, specifically in the Clear Atomic Purple color, and I must say that I am incredibly pleased with the product. The replacement shell and buttons are of excellent quality, and they fit perfectly on my Nintendo Switch console and Joycon handheld controller. The clear atomic purple color gives my Switch a unique and eye-catching look, which I absolutely love. The installation process was straightforward, thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions provided by eXtremeRate. I was able to replace the shell and buttons without any issues, and it didn't take much time at all. The buttons themselves feel great to use, providing a satisfying click and responsive feedback. They have a nice texture, which enhances the overall gaming experience. One thing to note is that this product does not include any electronic parts, so it's important to keep that in mind before purchasing. However, if you're looking to give your Nintendo Switch a fresh new look and feel, the eXtremeRate DIY Replacement Shell Buttons are definitely worth considering. Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to customize their Nintendo Switch console.
Review: Great looks and high quality - I’d never heard of this brand before, so I was a little trepidatious going in. I was very impressed with the overall fit and finish. The plastic is of high quality and feels durable, and the molds used are precise with close to OEM tolerances. There’s not a lot of overflash on the seams, so no sharp edges that would make it uncomfortable to use. I like that they include a set of all the screws and springs you’ll need, as I definitely lost one of the springs that braces a trigger while doing the swap. Installation is time consuming, but if you take your time and pay attention to the instructions, you won’t have problems. I recommend also checking out iFixit for some additional resources. As for gripes, there aren’t many, but chief among them is that the plastic where the screws go into is a little soft. Be sure to not over torque any screws as a result, stop tightening right when you feel a little resistance. I also wish it had come with replacements for the thin black shrouds around the joysticks, but I was able to harvest those from the old joycons.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good!
*by C***S on April 20, 2024*

It was super easy to take apart and put together. The instructions on their website are helpful, though I was able to do pretty much all of it on my own. The finish on the plastic is nice and definitely has better grip than my worn out original shell. There is a little bit of a lip between the bottom of the back shell and the switch itself, but a light sanding/filing on the edge makes it flush with little effort and it doesn't impact anything in any significant way to not make it flush. The plastic itself feels durable enough to handle typical wear and tear as well. My only major gripe is that the screw tips provided don't always hold up against the screws (particularly the Phillips head), but I think that has more to do with how my joycons were manufactured as a few of the screws were especially tough to remove and the method used for these plastic molds isn't exactly conducive to repetitive screwing and unscrewing. I also wish the color order on the buttons matched, though that's more of a personal preference and I could probably Jerry rig it to change the order if I really wanted to. Don't mind my joysticks, they're next on my list of to-do's. In hindsight I probably should've just replaced them along with the shell swap, but they don't have any drift issues and I just need to replace the rubber grips. Definitely considering getting more colors in the future as long as this one holds up!
