Review on eXtremeRate NES Style Soft Touch Grip Full Housing Shell for Xbox One S X Controller - Replacement Front Back Shell Side Rails w/ABXY Buttons for Xbox One S & Xbox One X Controller Model 1708 by Mike Slippy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Overall not a bad skin, good looking

This is quite a nice skin as it really gives you the aesthetic of a SNES controller. It was a little tricky to install, but that's not the shell's fault. Sounds like Microsoft really doesn't want you to take your controller apart. Inside the controller is a cable between two circuit boards that's held in place with duct tape, a piece of tape that doesn't stick very well once it's peeled off. the gray color of the SNES controller, as well as a touch on the shell itself (e.g. a circle around the d-pad). Also, the shell isn't as smooth as the factory shell; At least on my controller, the distance between some seams is slightly larger. But I think it's mostly an aesthetic issue; It doesn't make much of an impression because aside from the shell feeling smooth (compared to the slightly more textured shell of the factory shell), the controller feels the same as the factory shell. But the games still played well and overall it looks great! Recommendation: If you want your Xbox One controller to look like a SNES controller, I would recommend this skin.
