Skull&Co makes it again

Very good product but that's what I should expect from Skull & Co, especially after having their amazing grip case. This is the perfect replacement for those who don't want to buy custom joysticks or want to take apart their own to replace buttons and directional buttons. They are made of durable plastic and are attached with self-adhesive stickers. The D-Pad is fine, but it comes down to personal preference and the type of movement you prefer. The ABXY buttons are very good and make joyconsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some nuances

Buttons work better than D-Pads.

Small buttons work great on Nintendo joysticks, especially in Tetris 99, Pac-Man 99 or any game that requires precise FAST movement. Once attached, you barely have to move your thumb in one direction to press the button you want without accidentally pressing in the other direction. D-pads are useless for this and are only conditionally suitable for games where you have to twist your thumb or index finger like in fighting games. They look cool, but that's about it. If you need reliable D-Padsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • So-so

Works great, needs more rotation.

Love it, didn't have to modify the joycon or ruin the warranty. It works great though, the dpad has very little tactile feedback about where your finger is, it's curved so you can feel the center, but some ridges or grooves would be desirable. I rarely miss input, the only time I press the d-pad too hard is the input correct. I suspect that the specified pivot is not enough, if you try to double you will not stick to the button. But 1 turntable doesn't give enough rotation to prevent 2+ inputsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Skull & Co. uses his brain! Great innovative products!

Skull & Co. โ€” a great team of progressive thinkers in gaming! They have the BEST Nintendo Switch case and also the best solution to add a D-Pad to your left Joy-Con, not to mention the easiest and cheapest solution! Another added bonus is that you can keep your warranty should you need to send it to Nintendo for repairs instead of replacing the d-pad case. Skull & Co's D-Pad add-on is also much more responsive and accurate than the Joy-Con's Hori D-Pad, which can't be used wirelessly, doesn'tโ€ฆ

  • Acceptable
Cons

Good alternative to the Dpad ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

For certain games I needed a Dpad for my normal switch. I was able to easily open my joycons and switch shells. The thing is, I don't have the luxury of buying and replacing my joycons if I screw them up, and I don't risk voiding my warranty. I don't trust myself enough to do that. I'm glad Skull & Co offers these Dpad alternatives and the installation was very easy. Just in case, I checked out the installation guide on YouTube. You must press the adhesive firmly into the corners beforeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Almost never

Can be painted, feels great

If anyone wants to personalize their switch, they can be spray painted! Sand them down, use a primer and spray paint, this is my first time doing something like this and it was very easy. I used Rust Oleum Coated Chiffon White Paint to match the tail of my animal crossing new horizons. This simplifies the gameplay enormously. The buttons on the joysticks themselves are tiny, and while I enjoy gaming with handheld devices, it would force me to dock them just to have the comfortable buttons of aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Nothing

Goods just received, just bought for d-pads. The adhesive was easy enough to line up and stick the top and bottom D-Pad on the left joycon, once it's in the desired location just peel off the top. Each D-Pad has a black circle that needs to be pulled out and placed in the bottom center. Then make sure the arrow at the bottom of the d-pad is pointing up. Align the top cover of the directional pad with the top button and it should snap into place. The use of each dpad is different and convenient.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Not bad

Enough Upgrade Joycon Dpad

First off, these are just keycaps that attach with small 3M adhesive circles that are the same size as the joycon buttons. Sticking the glue circles onto the buttons wasn't too difficult. The problem I had was removing the top cover of these circles to expose the top adhesive (to actually attach the caps) without pulling the entire circle of adhesive away from the button, as it seems I didn't put the adhesive firmly enough on the button pressed. To be fair, I didn't feel entirely comfortableโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Style 90
