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 Curtis Sherman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice dpad but not a perfect shell replacement (also how to fix the plus button issue)

Bought and installed Atomic Purple dpad skin for joycon: Pretty hard to install but not that bad, if you have patients and feel like it is worth the effort for dpad. FYI, the right joycon is harder than the left one, so I recommend starting with the left one. The body structure is smooth glossy plastic, not the soft matte finish of the originals. I agree, but it's worth knowing before you buy. The tops of the cases are not 100% flush with the rail. Slight bulge/gap in the top center after tightening the 3 screws. The Dpad feels really nice and responsive, if a bit tight. The tiny, interchangeable shoulder buttons on the rail looked cool but were harder to press and felt a little shorter than the originals. so they ended up not being used. The mid-chassis made the triggers feel loose and soft (no click on the right side), so they ended up not being used. TO FIX THE PLUS (+) BUTTON NOT PRESSING/WORKING: Open it. again and slightly loosen the screw behind the plus (+) button. Make sure it's not too tight. Push the button and make sure it feels good before screwing the case back on.

Pros
  • Dream come true
Cons
  • Doubt
