Review on BASSTOP Joycon D-Pad Replacement Shell Case - Translucent NS Joycon ๐ŸŽฎ Handheld Controller Housing for Nintendo Switch (Atomic Purple) - DIY, No Electronics by Eduardo Murillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Here's what you need to know โ€” โ€” โ€”

Obviously they aren't perfect and don't meet Nintendo standards. BUT I really like it; very nostalgic. I read other people's reviews; I have not received any screws from this supplier and have had no problems with Nintendo factory screws. Basically, you screw the chamber in with the factory screws, so turn it slowly, but still apply quite a bit of pressure. I didn't have any problems with the buttonholes either. Other people said they had to sand to make room for the buttons. The buttons fit me well, well and freely. I didn't use the RGBY keys; I liked the original black ones. TOOLS TO USE: (or at least what I used.) - A 360/50 Phillips screwdriver and a triangle screwdriver. - tweezers with a curved needle tip (highly recommended for ribbon cables) - a prying tool. .-scratch-free, static-free surface.-small containers for separating screws into JoyCon "layers" (I used bottle caps). As a guide to opening JoyCon, IGN posted a pretty helpful YouTube video. Each body swap lasted about an hour; Although I've done it before. If this is your first time, take your time! Be careful and don't overexert yourself and you'll be fine. PS: Ribbon cables are from the devil.
