Type of review

The fact that they don't fit together without sawing up the body is totally unacceptable. I don't need a file to get it right (even then it's still not properly aligned). Reading the reviews I see that I am not alone. fix it now It borders on a scam that you are selling this for $40. For anyone reading this and wanting to take the risk, you DEFINITELY need to file off the body parts, which looks awful and is utter nonsense. DO NOT BUY THIS until a solid version is released that REALLY FITS…

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • Band

Check reviews before buying

The case itself looks fantastic; If it worked properly and matched the OEM case it would have gotten five stars. Unfortunately, this DIY is not for the faint of heart. Follow demolish. There are better ones on youtube. Next comes the product itself. Shapes aren't perfect; My right joycon shape is slightly deformed and the shape of the battery holder actually lowered my R bumper to the point where the button on the circuit board was being pressed the entire time. I had to grind down the OEM…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • All I can add

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…

Pros
  • Dream come true
Cons
  • Doubt

Here's what you need to know — — —

Obviously they aren't perfect and don't meet Nintendo standards. BUT I really like it; very nostalgic. I read other people's reviews; I have not received any screws from this supplier and have had no problems with Nintendo factory screws. Basically, you screw the chamber in with the factory screws, so turn it slowly, but still apply quite a bit of pressure. I didn't have any problems with the buttonholes either. Other people said they had to sand to make room for the buttons. The buttons fit me

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Expandable

Newbie Review: Nintendo Switch

I'm new to electronics projects so consider me a newbie. The kit is as described in the sales documents, you need your own tools (triving and cross) for the project. The case material is durable, the only difference between them and original nintendos is that the replacement parts are a bit shinier/smoother. I bought the clear purple ones and they are visually stunning. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews about closing blocks properly, I haven't come across this but did notice that the right…

  • Fingers crossed

Not perfect, but not bad. Results may vary.

So one takeaway from all the reviews is that you place a small bet on whether a particular pair of sinks will fit perfectly or with no problems. I received the set with no problems. There was a slight bend in the plastic on the inner end of the left joystick, but it was barely noticeable. One thing I would recommend is using the screws that come with the kit to snap the joycons back on as the originals seem too tight while the new ones screw in well. Do your homework, watch tutorial videos…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Nothing here

The right joystick does not fit.

I want to love this product, I really love it but I can't. I bought this skin out of pure nostalgia because I own N64 Atomic Purple and Gameboy Color. I love the color of these joycons and the build isn't that bad. I will list the pros and cons. Pros: The atomic purple color is very close to the original Nintendo Gameboy color. Looks great Has a glossy/smooth plastic finish instead of the smooth/matte finish of the original joycon (might be an advantage for some compared to others) The…

  • Excellent Overall
Cons

Visually excellent; Inconsistent Quality

Having purchased 5 separate products from BASSTOP and installed (4x) Joy Cons, (1x) Back Cover and (1x) Dock Panel, this is my review (hoping for a response from the company ): Dock Shell - the station is beautiful - no doubt about it. The housing unit is less than half the size of the original dock. yes it will work for you Yes, it comes with rubber feet to prevent slipping. No, there is no cut-out for a small LED flashlight. I purchased Joy Con Atomic Purple, Jungle Green, Fire Orange, and…

Pros
  • Finally Purchased
Cons
  • Functionality

It took me a hell of a time to install them, not because the shells themselves were complicated, but because I lost one or more internal springs on 3 separate occasions thanks to my cat who suggested it" technical " assistance at will and seemingly at the most inopportune moment. The left side is good. No complaints. Everything fits perfectly and the d-pad is a welcome addition (although, to be honest, I only bought the d-pad because it was the only style I could get for same-day delivery). On…

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
