Installation Tips
- Installation difficulty: High
- Time spent: 4 hours or more
- Patience needed: High
- Go slow. Check every connection. Keep your screws organized. Watch a Youtube video on how to do it though, pausing and replaying often.
- When you are reassembling the Joycons you must be conscious of how tight you are tightening the screws as that will affect how your buttons to press.
- When removing the Joycon outer screws make sure you are using a Tri-wing screwdriver. Be careful not to strip the 4 outer triangle screws or over tighten any screws.
- There are multiple very delicate ribbon cables in the Joycon that need to be removed and reattached.
- Use tweezers instead of bulky fingers at all times to help with the little pieces that you'll take to move to the new case.
- Note that the ZR and ZL on the Joycons are spring loaded so be careful when opening.
- Installing the console back-plate is easy. Simply disassemble your original back housing and kickstand from the Switch, then replace it with eXtremeRate back plate and kickstand.

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.
It was relatively easy to install, following the video on their youtube- but it did slightly concern me that they showed them yanking out all of the ribbon cables when it's easy to just flip up the release. Perhaps it doesn't matter too much but I prefer to be gentler to be safe. They include extra screws in case you lose any, which is always appreciated. Their included screwdriver is fine, but isn't magnetic so the screws don't stick when taking them out- so I used my own screwdrivers instead. The whole process only took me around 2 hours.
The final look is great! Nothing inside is loose and the buttons feels just as they're supposed to! I didn't use their included colored buttons, so I can't speak for their quality, but regardless I do wish it came with SL and SR buttons, I had to keep my original red and blue ones. Very happy overall though with this purchase!

TL;DR, Housing looks great, right joycon has begun to fall apart after regular use for two months. Install is OK - take it slow!
The housing feels nice and looks great, there's no question. For about two months, I had the coolest Switch on the block. I loved it to bits.
Installing isn't all that bad, and the right joycon is the biggest hump. I had taken apart joycons before this but I wound up fat thumbing and breaking a ribbon cable for a bumper. A replacement was only 3 dollars (I took the button from my old joycons as a transplant in the meanwhile. Can't stress it enough, this housing looks awesome - I needed it the day it came).
Sadly, this housing starts to show its wear much more quickly than your out of box joycons. After the first month of regular, non-intense use, my right joycon back cracked. Another few weeks, the plastic snapped right where the top left screw holds the joycon back down - again, on the right joycon. This made it unslot from my Switch periodically while playing and made both the bumper and the trigger difficult to press.
Will happily change my review if I were able to recieve or even order a replacement right joycon back.
