eXtremeRate DIY Full Set Buttons for Nintendo Switch & Switch OLED, Replacement Buttons for JoyCon, ABXY Direction Keys SR SL L R ZR ZL + - Home Capture Trigger Buttons Springs - Chameleon Purple Blue

I bought both a shell and complete button set from eXtremeRate. The replacement shell is a perfect fit. Everything snaps together with ease and the screwholes are all drilled properly. Swapping out the shells was not too difficult, but I definitely recommend watching a video on YouTube if it's your first time. The only real difference in quality I notice between the original Nintendo shell and the eXtremeRate shell is that the eXtremeRate back plate has a bit more flex to it. After installing, you can feel a small pocket in the center that bends just a tiny bit when you squeeze, but this is very inconsequential in my opinion. I am still excited to show off my new custom Switch. :) I bought a separate set of replacement buttons because the shell comes with black replacement buttons, and I just didn't think that suited the pink/purple/gold marble design very well. I did have to use a nail file on a few buttons to smooth out the nub that was left when I popped the button out of the manufacturing frame because the nub prevented the buttons from fitting properly, but that was no biggie. After filing, they all fit perfectly. The home button comes in two parts and was kinda fiddly to put together. I ended up supergluing the two pieces together because for whatever reason, the gold button did not want to stay in the opaque casing for it. I love that the set even comes with SL/SR buttons! It's little details like that that make customizing so satisfying. I've bought other eXtremeRate products for various consoles, and they have all been very consistent in quality and fit. I absolutely recommend this brand to anyone who is looking to customize their gaming systems!

Taking a joy-con apart is no fun. At all. HOWEVER, the chameleon purple with the matte black case (same company) looks so nice on my OLED switch and is well worth the effort. If your buttons seem to not fit or if they stick, make sure you haven’t installed them incorrectly! When done right, the buttons work perfectly but may need a little filing where you remove from the tabbed sheet. If you find a button doesn’t press or if it is loose, you may have forgotten the rubber stoppers from the original joy-con or placed the button in an incorrect position. If a button doesn’t work, ensure you put the ribbon back in the correct position and latched it into place. The hardest part of the installation is going to be the trigger buttons on both sides and the extra parts inside your right joy-con (NFC antenna, the infrared sensor, and antenna) because you’re going to have to detach and re-attach the ribbons. Just have a small pair of tweezers on hand and when you place the L or R triggers, ensure you put pressure on it with the ZL and ZR plate in place or the springs will yeet themselves into space. There are knobs on the triggers where the spring goes. Make sure all springs are in the appropriate place or your triggers won’t… trigger. I also did a complete housing replacement while replacing the buttons, so my joy-cons were an absolute trash heap of circuitry. If something isn’t coming out, it probably is secured by tape. Just pull on it. Except the ribbons. Don’t pull the ribbons. I’m in love with this look! May buy a few more sets for the other joy-cons I have laying around.

This company is the top of the top in customizations of gaming components. Quality of products is same or even better than original components, very beautiful items with lot of options to choose from, they provide you full detailed video guide how to install replacements making the process really easy and safe without worrying that you will break anything, they provide you all necessary tools to do replacement yourself and they even provide extra new screws and bolts to make sure everything is put back together with perfect precision.

These were easy to swap out as I changed joycon shells to their atomic purple set. It comes with all of the buttons except the back release button on the joycon. The SR and SL buttons are included and easy to put in. Just watch their video and pause when you need to, following along. I recommend buying the $8 screwdriver, tweezer, and brush set that's on here as it is much better to worth with than the included tools. I kept all of my original screws and used them as the better screwdrivers didn't strip them. These do come with replacement screws and extras, so now I have plenty. I plan to put the clear atomic purple that came with the joycon and switch body set into another pair of joycons I have. I may buy another set of joycon shells for that. The tiny ribbons were a bit challenging. The right joycon had a very short ribbon cable that they had demonstrated to screw on the middle shell first and then plug the ribbon in under, but that was impossible on mine, their cable had to be much longer. I simply plugged the cable in, and then placed the middle shell on, laid the button receiver on it and put the one screw in it then. much easier than doing it their shown way either way honestly. The ribbon cables are the only thing that stressed me out a little, I was nervous I would mess them up. Just be patient and you'll get it done. Mine work perfectly and look much better than before.

So here’s the deal: It ALWAYS sucks to re-shell a switch or its controllers. The whole process for both took me an embarrassing 3.5hrs of frustration and pain. At the end I realized that I forgot to transfer the spring for the new right bumper, but it works as is and I’m very tired of fiddling with the joycons at this point. That all said, none of the difficulties I encountered had anything to do with this product. The buttons all fit perfectly and comfortably in the controller shell. The Color: The color is best described as yellow-gold. It isn’t identical to the photos, but if anything it seems to have a richer and more true-gold color. If you’ve ever seen an actual gold bar, that’s the color that these are and the metallic effect is quite beautiful. I was hesitant to purchase these after reading someone else describe the color as “orangey”, but I can happily say that this was not the case for the products I purchased. The Condition: The buttons arrived in brand new condition and detached easily from their plastic framing for installation. No visible portions of the buttons were discolored or missing the chrome gold coloring. Overall, I would recommend this product if you want to give your grey or black joycons a prestigious feel. I intentionally didn’t purchase the gold joycon shells because I like the contrast of the dark grey and gold- and I have no regrets! PS: If you buy any re-shelling products like buttons or casings, please understand that it is a process that requires patience and care. The interior cables are extremely delicate and these kinds of modifications shouldn’t be attempted by those who are prone to losing their tempers or getting frustrated and giving up. If you buy this for your kid, either help them install it or do it for them entirely.

Came exactly as is. And looks great.

These are really easy to Install and feel like good quality buttons. They work perfectly and are such a good price. As long as you take them off the sprue properly they fit perfectly.

It works like the original ones
