Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhance Your Nintendo Switch with eXtremeRate DIY Colorful ABXY Buttons Repair Kit & Tools - Level Up Your Joy-Con Experience! (JoyCon Shell NOT Included) by Todd Calloway

Revainrating 4 out of 5

An almost perfect set!

First off, let me say that while this set isn't perfect, it's pretty damn close. and it's an inexpensive way to make your Switch look amazing. Below I will list the pros and cons and areas that I think could improve this product. I will also attach photos for reference. Positive aspects: 1. The quality of the buttons. As far as I can tell, the buttons are perfectly shaped, fit perfectly, and mimic standard buttons perfectly. Use a nail file to cut off all the plastic pieces, protruding after the piece is removed from the mold.2. Appearance - looks great! The color I chose looks exactly as I expected. After showing it to a friend he was really impressed and thought it looked really good.3. Value โ€“ A cheap and affordable way to set up a switch. Cheaper and easier than shell replacement. Disadvantages / possible improvements: 1. Not all buttons are activated. The set includes most of the buttons but lacks the plus, minus, screenshot and home buttons. While I could forgive the exclusion of the home and screenshot buttons, I was very disappointed in the lack of plus and minus buttons. It would be great if the joycons looked completely in unison.2. No button outlines - although the buttons have labels that indicate what the button is, the letters are the same color as the button, making them very difficult to see. While this isn't a problem for us passionate Switch users, it can be a bit confusing when I'm playing with friends who don't own a Switch and I say "Hurry up, press (button name)" and they look at the controller to see where the button is and they have to squint to find it. In future versions it would be great to see if the main buttons still have circled letters.3. Paint wiping concerns. These keys have a matte finish than the standard keys, which can be a bit slippery at times. This can be good or bad depending on personal preference, but it doesn't bother me. However, I am concerned that due to the lack of a clear coat on the buttons, the color may wear off over time with prolonged use. Of course, I just got them, so it's not a problem yet, but I can foresee that the problem will arise in the future.4. The tool box is missing. While they do include the screwdrivers you'll need if you're replacing this knob, I recommend having a few tools and a good pair of tweezers handy. It would have been nice to have them in the kit but luckily I had one and it made installation a lot easier. Verdict: Despite some minor flaws, this is still a great upgrade for your Switch. If the seller decides using one or more of the above offers in the future, I think this is going to be one hell of a product.

Pros
  • Colorful button looks great; It would be great if you combined it with a special skin from eXtremeRate (You can find these skins in our shop.)
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
