The best aftermarket Joy-con Shells hands down!
This was one of the coolest projects I have embarked upon recently. I would say the difficulty of swapping out your joycon's shell is somewhat moderate but actually easier than expected If you have taken apart any electronics in the past this should be fairly straight forward there were a couple of tough spots but overall I would definitely do this mod again!The actual disassembly process can be a bit daunting but a couple of notes first off you only have to actually detach two ribbon cables and those are the cables connected to the ZL and ZR buttons because those buttons are connected to this inner piece that you should probably replace to reflect the included piece and not the color of your joycons - because if you had say red joycons and were replacing with a white shell then this middle piece would show red a little - most of the color variants i saw show the shells with a black inner shell and while I would have been nice to fully match the color scheme it still matches the shoulder buttons colors so it works well.The biggest trouble spots for me were when detaching the ribbon cables of the ZL and ZR button and actually removing the buttons from the old housing - they have these tiny springs and if your not careful these will go flying off into the either never to be found again. I actually lost two springs this way but luckily extreme rate thought of this and include additional springs for that very reason but my suggestion would be when you get to removing and re-installing the ZL and ZR button do so in a clear bag so you can see your work but also you can contain the springs because they most definitely will fly everywhere.The Right Joycon was also more difficult then the left and I would suggest starting on the Left because the Right has a lot more components to fiddle with but overall this was a really fun project and I learned a ton and the actually new shell from ExtremeRate is fanstansic it feels just like the stock joycons and looks extremely cool. I'm so impressed by their quality.A little side note about the D-pad While I will say I love that I did the dpad one these are not a PERFECT dpad replacement because essentially the way a traditional dpad works is that it has a pin in the center of the dpad that it swivels on giving you a bit of play where as these are just a direct connection to what used to be buttons it feels great and solid but its a bit of a different feel - very clicky.Overall if your interested in getting really cool colors for your joycons i would HIGHLY recommend going with ExtremeRate avoid those other competitors as Their quality is much less impressive and the results are worse. The only last thing I would suggest is get yourself a tweezers for being able to manipulate some small bits and maybe a spudger to pry off parts that are stuck down etc. GOOD LUCK!Ver másVer menos
