Review on ๐ŸŽฎ eXtremeRate White Replacement Buttons Repair Kit for Nintendo Switch & Switch Oled Joy-con - Full Set with Tools by Michael Clarke

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disgusting discoloration within hours of use. waste of time and money.

I haven't seen any feedback on the key fading, so I took a chance and hoped for the best. They looked great right out of the box. However, when I felt the same soft-touch material as the lighter Extremerate cases, I got really concerned. However, I insisted and took the time to swap out the joycons. The only reason I bought these buttons and a new shell is because their sakura pink shell turned disgusting, so I went with a translucent cherry pink instead to avoid that problem. Except now it shows up in buttons. I wish I could say I dipped my hands in the Cheeto dust and smeared them over the buttons because that's what it looks like. Except that discoloration doesn't wash off at all. I wanted so badly for these keys to be "protected" from the nasty discoloration of some of their skins, but it seems they haven't fixed this issue yet. FYI: The letters in the keys, such as A, B, X, Y, R, and ZR are the original color of the keys. They were bright and perfect, so much so I could barely read the letters on the buttons. After a few hours of play, I see painfully obvious discoloration even in low light, which is a glaring shame. Tip: If you see any of Extremerate's shell colors listed as "Soft Touch," which are mostly pastel/light colors, AVOID THEM like the plague and don't get the same color buttons. It's not worth wasting time and money on these products if they start to discolour after a few hours or even months. Don't make the same mistake I did. This is the kind of review that will tell you what I didn't know before.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
