The shell design is very nice, and the 'soft touch' finish makes it feels like a first party product. Most of the necessary tools are included, but you'll also want a small plastic pry tool and a good pair of thin nose tweezers. Extra springs and screws are included, which is great because the shoulder button springs get lost easily and the official joycon screws are pretty soft. The buttons come on a plastic sprue & will need to be clipped off and cleaned up with a small file or hobby knife. The actual shell replacement process is a bit finnicky, especially on the right joycon, and you have to be very careful not to damage the fragile ribbon cabled. Definitely only try this on a pair of joycons that you'd be willing to lose if it goes wrong. That said, after watching a few youtube demonstrations, I was able to successfully change out the shell without too much trouble. Everything works great (better than before, since I replaced the drifting thumbsticks), feels great, and looks amazing. One thing to note is that the D-pad is just a plus shaped piece of plastic layed over the normal internal parts of the left joycon's four directional buttons. It's very clicky, and it doesn't have the pivot point in the middle that real d-pads have to prevent you from pressing opposite directions at once. If you press the middle, or press anywhere with too much force, then it will read all four directions at once. It's still better than the normal directional buttons, but if you're just looking for a good d-pad for playing 2d games in handheld mode, then get the Hori left d-pad controller instead. It has a proper d-pad, and you don't have to risk breaking a joycon conttol to use it. But if you want a fancy set of full featured joycons that can't be bought in stores, and you're willing to put some work and a bit of risk into them, then this kit is great. Review: So Awesome! - Omg....these are perfect!!! I only got them today. And have only completed one controller. This a little more involved than I thought, but if you are hardware inclined and careful it's easy to install. The feel is sturdy, no additional modifications are needed to put these together. You will need an exacto knife or wire cutters(which I use since I use these for putting together metal models) watch out for the springs that go flyin...that's my fault..but they do provide springs, screws, the driver with two bits (Phillips and Y). The shell all fits perfectly together, just make sure you know what screw comes from where. This OG controller Nintendo aesthetic looks so much cleaner(was using the pastel pink/green controller combo)..and the instant nostalgia I get from looking at it is great. OG NES was my first console. P.S. please forgive my bad grammar. ## Features - Custom designed replacement housing to perfectly fit for Nintendo Switch Joycon. Ergonomic d-pad button can greatly improve your left Joycon function, perfect for d-pad intensive games - Unique replacement case to add much more personality to your Switch, no more boring standard gray color - The installation process requires customer with moderate electronic installation experience.

When I was dissassembling the Joycon there was no padding for the direction buttons where the d-pad goes.** A: I wouldn't recommend it because then the d pad button piece will rub against the board with all the circuitry. To me, that might run it. The rubber pad creates that sort of protection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best joycon shell replacement kit out there. *by N***E on February 19, 2021* I've wanted to do a joycon shell replacement for a while, and since I needed to ooen up a pair to replace their thumb sticks anyway, I decided to give thus kit a try.

The final result looks great, though the installation process was a bit tricky—this is more due to the complexity of working with small electronics rather than any flaw with the product itself. With prior experience disassembling devices like the Switch, Steam Deck, and laptops for repairs or upgrades, I found the process manageable but still challenging. The kit includes useful tools, such as extra screws, springs, and a screwdriver with both Phillips and Y-head bits, which were appreciated. However, I would have liked needle-nose tweezers to be included, as they made handling small components much easier (luckily, I had my own). The installation guide on their website was helpful, but it referenced a slightly different version of the kit, which added some unnecessary steps and caused minor confusion at first. That said, it’s still a good tutorial overall. I don't often write reviews, but this product deserves one. I highly recommend it and might even pick up another set for my second pair of Joy-Cons. That said, if you don’t have experience with electronics repair, this may not be the best project to start with. ## Frequently Bought Together - eXtremeRate SFC SNES Classic EU Style Joycon Handheld Controller Housing (D-Pad Version) Colorful Buttons, Replacement Shell Case for Nintendo Switch & Switch OLED Joy-Con – Console Without - 2-Pack Replacement Joystick Analog Thumb Stick Repair Kit for Nintendo Switch / Switch OLED Model / Switch Lite Joy-Con Controller - Drift Fix Tools Y1.5 / +1.5 Screwdriver / Pry Tools - JoyCon Replacement 4 Pack, Analog Thumb Stick for Switch Joy-Con Controller & Switch Lite, Left/Right Analog Joystick with Thumbstick Grips & Screws --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/286507606-extremerate-sfc-snes-classic-eu-style-joycon-handheld-controller-housing](https://www.desertcart.co/products/286507606-extremerate-sfc-snes-classic-eu-style-joycon-handheld-controller-housing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
