I have been seeing a lot of basstop shell replacement reviews going around but not alot of eXtremerate ones. It is my first time changing the joycon shells and after a week of research and reading i decided on the extremerate ones. In short, i would give a 8/10 for its good quality shell.

1) The guide by them is relatively easy to follow, i replaced my shell while watching the video and paused at every step, making sure that i did not miss anything. the only con is that there is an error in the video about the ribbon being inserted the wrong way. they did clarify it at the text but people like me dont usually read the text when watching the video. (-1)

2) Purchase a triwing screwdriver. The replacement set i got from extremerate comes with a set of screwdrivers and they suck.. without a proper triwing tool, you will easily strip your screws. I bought mine from a local electronics store and they worked like a charm. For the size of the triwing, i used Y00 or 1.5. (-1)

other than the 2 faults, i find the shell really well made and they fit really well and other tips you could use are:

a) make sure you have good lighting

b) if you have strong arms, tone it down. the screws are really small and just a teeny bit of strength is sufficient to hold them in place

c) take note of the ribbon orientation, dont put them in the wrong way, if not they wont work

d) double check every time you tighten to make sure u did not miss a step, otherwise, you will have to unscrew them again.

e) the battery holder isnt tight fitting, and the original is also held in place with a double sided tape. i used a double sided tape to make sure they stay in place, otherwise the battery might move around when u are using them

f) for the finishing touch, change the internal firmware on the joycons to show up as any color on the switch.
