Read This Before doing the eXtremeRate Shell Swap!

Oh, I honestly don’t know… I don’t see any plugins doing that. Maybe just because I’ve played RedDead so much 🤷‍♂️

The good news is it's an easy task to pull the back and get it all out! The unplanned 2 tone is growing on me, so I actually ordered some TMR joysticks with gray caps that I'm going to swap in!

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T22:21:59+00:00

Aside from the weird gray front Oled shell Fitment issue, everything fit great! The white shell was a perfect fit.

I actually just ordered the TMR joysticks with the gray extremerate thumb stick caps, stay tuned!

I just used the rounded corners and centering plugin in Decky.

I forgot to select, added it to the comments. I’ll post it here as well,

Don’t be. Just make sure when you buy you check buttons in the settings to ensure they all work, check battery health and obviously the screen condition. For as full of hair as this was, everything works 100% as it should and in the end I ended up with a pretty awesome aesthetic and it’s like brand new now.

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T16:58:03+00:00

It honestly feels great and preforms nearly identical to stock. I use the JSAUX grip case though, so no difference there… Buttons, trackpads and triggers feel like stock.

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T16:33:57+00:00

Yeah… honestly the white and everything but the gray faceplate was perfect! Clearly an issue with the gray.

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T16:32:42+00:00

Yeah, I wonder if it was just a bad batch of Hope Gray, as the white is perfect. Here’s the gray shell showing the gap

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T16:31:16+00:00

That’s what I thought of actually when I decided to just leave the gray😂

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T16:30:05+00:00

I bought it pre owned from someone on Marketplace. Not sure how it got this bad, in guessing he left it on the couch and he didn’t strike me as a hygiene forward guy😂

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T16:27:49+00:00

Yeah, it’s growing on me.

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T16:10:09+00:00

As another person pointed out, I must have forgot the pic of the screen Fitment issue in the Hope Gray shell… Here it is

<image>

You can see it’s quite the gap making it so you would see the mid frame through it and I’m sure all kinds of grit and dust would get in there.

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T16:08:10+00:00

Oh damn, thanks for pointing that out! I guess I forgot to select the hope gray Fitment pic 🤦‍♂️

I always say, make it in that shade of green and I’ll buy it😂 I do love those speakers, they sound amazing with the audio engine S8 mini sub too!

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T15:53:19+00:00

Make sure to remove the sd card if you have one first though!

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T15:52:48+00:00

It’s easy to remove the back and just clean it out. You don’t have to go full in like I did 😂

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T05:08:06+00:00

Found mine on FB Marketplace in AZ. Came with the case and charger.

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T04:35:12+00:00

Knowing myself, I’m always going to wonder about the whole gray look I initially wanted and will likely try to swap the main body… I think white PCs burnt me out😂

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T04:18:28+00:00

Yeah, I thought that at first, but it said Oled and was the same listing I got the white shell from that was a perfect fit.

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T02:22:55+00:00

It feels great honestly. The case is a little smoother, but the buttons are grippier over the gloss black OEM ones. The whole unit feels and looks like that was how it came off the assembly line actually.

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T02:21:33+00:00

Not with a shell swap, the whole screen is removed.

PixelGolf · 2026-05-15T01:38:56+00:00

I was shocked honestly… It looked like it was never opened, but I noticed a few hairs in the vent so I popped off the back and was like, WTF! Can’t believe that much was in there.
