## Description

eXtremeRate Back Plate for Nintendo Switch Console, NS Joycon Handheld Controller Housing with Colorful Buttons, DIY Replacement Shell for Nintendo Switch - Clear Lime Green: desertcart.co.uk: PC & Video Games

Review: Excellent quality, however I'm not a fan of the clear buttons at all. - The installation took me roughly 2 hours and this is from someone who has a lot of disassembly experience and has already taken joy cons apart before. But this is not an issue at all, just something you should be aware of. The installation was pretty straightforward, the worst part was taking apart the triggers but had no major issues. I'm very glad this kit came with so many spare screws and springs as I had to use quite a few of these! The screwdriver was fine, I ended up using a different set for the installation however as the bits kept falling out but I think this would be fine if you didn't have any alternatives. I didn't like the clear buttons and they weren't up to the same standard as the shells so I decided to opt for using my original black buttons which I think looks a lot better. The shell fits really well together however and I'm excited to see how well it hold up over time as my original shell wore down and went shiny quite quickly. I did have one small issue, a few days after I had been using the system, one of the screws on my joy con came so loose it was sticking out, I haven't encountered this again but this is maybe due to me using the stock screws from my original joy cons instead of the screws included with this kit.
Review: Awesome - Excellent quality, the screwdrivers worked well for me. For the joy cons I followed a great tutorial on YouTube by Lily & Beba Play which avoided removing any ribbons which was great. My switch looks absolutely fantastic now and feels as good as it did before

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great starter kit
*by D***N on 18 January 2021*

Really cool looking, good quality case kit. Comes with the tools needed to install, which was a great bonus. However... the y00 screwdriver fittings teeth wore against the screws and needed replacement. Not a major issue to add a replacement. Can be a very fiddly process on the joycons definitely worth watching some YouTube tutorials first. Came with multi coloured replacement front facing buttons, but I kept the original black for effect. A shame there weren't any available in the same colour plastic too, or for the bumpers/triggers. Added bonus - you can see the joycon lights through the case which is great!!
