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 Tony Beale

Revainrating 5 out of 5

UPDATED: no Torx T6 screwdriver included but seller offered to mail me one

I received a message from the seller suggesting they send me a T6 screwdriver. I didn't see the news right away due to the way Revain structures their website. So when I saw the seller's offer, I had bought a screwdriver set that contained a T6 bit. As for the quality of the shell, it's excellent. I was concerned that the "soft touch" would be odd, but it actually seems quite premium. My only complaint with this product is that the buttons I received were buggy because they didn't register every time I pressed them. Waiting for a replacement from Revain so fingers crossed these buttons get better 🤞. OLD REVIEW: The NES style shell does not come with either of the two screwdrivers needed to install everything. In particular, you can only install a shell without the red ABXY buttons, which makes no sense to me as it messes up the whole look of the shell to keep the original buttons in the controller. The reason you can't replace the ABXY buttons with this kit is that you have to use a T6 torx screwdriver to unscrew the motherboard to remove the original buttons and install the new red ones. I'm very frustrated that eXtremeRate doesn't come with all the tools I need to install everything. The case feels great and is of good quality, but due to the fact that I can't install the red ABXY buttons for a full NES look, I'm giving this product 1 star.

Pros
  • . Fits perfectly: fits best; Flush on all sides; They sit normally on all clips
Cons
  • High price
