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

I got these for my cherry blossom OLED shell, and such a pretty combination. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube on how to swap the shells, so that made it super easy! ExtremeRate is my favorite aftermarket switch part company

Took several hours but I found it to be quite fun once I got the hang of it. Buttons fit perfectly and I didn’t have to shave them or cut them any special way I just twisted and pulled. I HIGHLY recommend practicing with an old joycon first before taking apart the ones you want to replace because the kit does not include the tool you need to pry the battery out with and you have to use your fingers which caused me to pull the battery out the wrong way and short circuit it (good thing it was an old joycon). Overall, the buttons are great, everything works and clicks fine, just be careful and patient.

All buttons are perfect replacement for OEM buttons. They are all keyed correctly for proper fitment. Works great!

Looks exactly like the pictures. Not hard at all to install, especially with the provided video. Nintendo has designed it so that it's pretty much impossible to put buttons in the wrong place anyway. Just remember which screw goes where. I've had the white buttons on the Dark Green set for about a year, and they haven't stained yellow or anything. There is a little shine as the matte finish has worn off, but its still nice and white. I don't have sweaty palms or anything though, nor does it go through particularly heavy daily use. Importantly, take care not to strip the default screws on the outside shell of the joycons. Nintendo's screws are terrible and very easy to strip. I replaced the buttons the first time and one screw essentially cannot be taken out anymore. I'd HIGHLY recommend changing the default outer screws to the ones provided in the little bag that comes with the buttons. Those are much better. The interior screws do not have this issue.

They’re what you’d expect, pretty white buttons! They do not come with the +/- buttons, a new home button, or the capture one, but I enjoy the accents of black to match the screen border of the switch. Assembly was easy for a complete first timer, and I’ve walked away from this feeling rather confident in my ability to maintain my switch. I ended up using different tools than the ones supplied, but I can’t tell you if that’s because of my own inadequacy or if the tools supplied are subpar. For what it counts, the metal tool supplied comes with magnetized tips and replaceable ones. It looks nice, but I ended up using the toolkit I bought that came with tweezers. I highly, highly recommend getting a pair for this. There are a lot of small buttons with tiny rubber backings, and you’re better off using a tool to gently pry open the joycons instead of risking it with your own hands. My only complaint, and I have no idea if it is a design error or user error, is that the L button on the L joycon was quite stiff. On my original assembly I noticed that it wasn’t very “clicky” and I decided I would see how the R joycon performed and how games ran before fixing it. It seemed that the button was stuck somehow, constantly giving an L input if I did not pop it back up. Taking apart the joycon a second time to check it out wasn’t difficult at all, and I replaced the spring. That didn’t seem to do the trick, so I settled on keeping the backing shell screws not so tight to give it more room to bounce. This has seemed to do the trick, and it has the right “click” again. It’s not even noticeable if you don’t know what you’re looking at, and the joycon is still snugly together. The most difficult part was replacing the ZL and ZR, as it is placed over a ribbon cable and has two springs, as well as tight plastic slots it clicks into. I used the flat end of my tweezers to pry it open, pop it out, and then my brute force to put it back in. I recommend only worrying about aligning the back spring, as I was able to very easily nudge the other one into place on the tab it needed to go on. Otherwise, I’d say it was fairly easy, and the product seems to be of nice quality. I only dock it one star because of the trouble I had with the L button, but once you’ve taken the bad boy apart once, I had no fear going into it again to repair it.

eXtremeRate's Button replacement kits are amazingly high quality, have the exact same 'soft touch' texture/paint as their shell replacements, and simply slot right into place just like they were OEM Nintendo supplied parts. The one negative I can think of is that the buttons are entirely one color, meaning the ABXY button letters won't be a contrasting color, but I personally think that it's a more symmetrical, unified look. I suggest getting the buttons and at least the joy con shells of you plan on swapping everything, it's much, much easier to do everything in one go, as disassembling the joy con can be a headache. But you get an entire set of Switch screws, so when you put everything back together, you can throw those awful Y-bit Nintendo security screws away and only need a Phillips driver for any disassembling done the road. tl;dr version: 10/10, would reccomend, get shell kit too and replace everything at once, better feeling quality than original parts, wish I'd changed to these sooner.

The buttons themselves are fine. They have this soft touch finish that's done with paint, and the whole things is actually just white plastic that's been painted over. Looks alright, but mine has a spot that was missed and a few buttons are partially white as a result. Also the durability will be questionable since they are just painted over instead of colored resin, but we'll see. I've used buttons from BASSTOP and even a custom button seller on eBay, and both have been fine, so if the durability is less than either of those I'll update this and advise against it. Update: After months of use, I will say that these are pretty solid in quality and the soft touch is actually REALLY nice. I get compliments every time I pull out my Switch and I'm going to buy more for another set of Joy Cons soon!

It fit just right ease of use, great color choices and grip good the functionality is great and the durability , the price great
