Review on BASSTOP Translucent DIY Replacement Housing Shell Case for NS NX Switch Console - Console-Jungle Green by Agustin Bush

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The updated version still has a problem with the right joystick. Requires physical modifications.

I'm so disappointed in the real joycon that I'm writing a review (with photos!). What I never do The product is good, the finish and color are great (who doesn't love Atomic Purple?), but there are fit issues that render it unusable with a precise without special modification. They said it's an updated version that doesn't have the correct joycon issue (ordered and shipped in December 2018) but that's either a lie or they're sending old stock or they haven't fixed the issue. My photos clearly show the tab that prevents the shell from closing. In my case there is a 2mm gap where the threads can't even catch. You have to cut it completely (see my photos) and then it will fit. The problem is that it's triangular and the rail's gap doesn't line up exactly with that triangular key which should have been a clean line. To be fair, that's a great body. But the landing problems make me give it three stars. The left joystick now also extends when pressed sufficiently. But that is secondary and mostly remains. ba It was too much work. And the worst thing is that you don't understand it until everything is screwed together and you're in the final assembly. Edit: Changed the description to one star due to dishonesty. My plus button just stopped working until I loosened the case screw just enough to leave a gap in the case. This is clearly *not an updated version* as I have all the issues that the old reviews complained about.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Not sure
