## Description

Product Description Tired of your boring old gray standard color? This is the way to go! Great customization option for DIY enthusiasts with a Switch. Read Before Purchase Please don’t wrongly think they are Switch console and Joycons. Actually they are full housing shell with full set buttons for Nintendo Switch without any electronic parts. Requires customers to take apart the Joycon to replace the original Joycon shells and buttons. Requires customer with moderate electronic modification experience. Get installation video guide on You tube by searching "ExtremeRate Switch Joycon New Horizon Style" or "o8QPB2uTbHk". Product Feature Totally upgrade your Switch to the exclusive and stylish level. Made of durable non-toxic ABS plastic. The texture is not a rubberized finish. Instead, it is semi-slick, matte soft plastic. More comfortable and feels better in hands than the stock shell. Installation Tips Installation difficulty: High Time spent: 4 hours or more Patience needed: High Go slow. Check every connection. Keep your screws organized. Watch a You tobe video on how to do it though, pausing and replaying often. When you are reassembling the Joycons you must be conscious of how tight you are tightening the screws as that will affect how your buttons to press. When removing the Joycon outer screws make sure you are using a Tri-wing screwdriver. Be careful not to strip the 4 outer triangle screws or over tighten any screws. There are multiple very delicate ribbon cables in the Joycon that need to be removed and reattached. Use tweezers instead of bulky fingers at all times to help with the little pieces that you'll take to move to the new case. Note that the ZR and ZL on the Joycons are spring loaded so be careful when opening. Installing the console back-plate is easy. Simply disassemble your original back housing and kickstand from the Switch, then replace it with eXtremeRate back plate and kickstand. Package Includes 1x Back plate for Nintendo Switch console with Kickstand 1x Left Right Joycon housing with middle tray 1x L R buttons, 1x ZL ZR buttons 1x A/B/X/Y buttons, 1x Direction buttons 2x SL SR buttons 1x Screwdriver handle, 1x PH00 screwdriver bit, 1x Y00 screwdriver bit 55x Screws, 6x Springs 1x Adhesive sponge pad, 2x Speaker dustproof net Note: The console, Joycon and other parts are not included. Come with Various Accessories for Switch to Custom Your Handheld Console AiryDocky DIY Kit Shell DFS LED Kit Console Front Frame Shell Dpad Version Shell Dock Faceplate Replacement Shell

Review: Looks good, feels rubbery - Looks great once everything is shell swapped from the original but the joycons are very fiddly, very fragile in places and it's a bit of a nerve wracking experience. There's lots of video guides made by people online to know what you're in for and how to complete the transfer. Take things slow and be VERY careful; I've seen social media posts of people breaking the joycon battery connector clean off the board during shell swaps and other general repairs. It does have a slightly rubbery coating to it which does feel good right now but I do have concerns about its longevity as I once had an MP3 player with a similar rubber coating that dissolved into a sticky mess after around ten years in storage so here's hoping this finishing treatment avoids the same fate. Does come with a bunch of optional replacement screws (which I didn't use), although I didn't see any replacement screw for the kickstand so make sure you don't lose that original screw and the metal clip for it when swapping the back part of the LCD Switch.
Review: Perfect fit & great feel! - This backplate/joycon replacement both looks and feels great (super smooth!!), and it fits perfectly as well. Only issue I had was an original screw that stripped and took some finessing to get out. The backplate itself is super easy to change otherwise. Joycons are a little more fiddly with some cables and stuff to disconnect and re-connect. My only issue with my order was that I didn't get the dustproof net/mesh for the speakers, so I had to remove the ones from the orginal backplate, and use a thin, double sided tape to get them onto the new one. Another note is that I bought separate screwdrivers for this, and didn't use the ones included so I can't speak for their quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good bar one issue
*by C***F on 23 May 2025*

Well, this shell is great to work with, everything's within tolerance and fits perfectly together and over the Switch. The kit comes complete with everything you need to a reshell, including screws and every button. I'm giving it 4 stars however for 2 small problems of the same issue - the screw holes. 2 of the screw holes were not formed structural very well and stripped out the inner plastic. And no, I wasn't being heavy handed, and yes, I used the correct (new) screws. The core immediately started to strip out a thin reel of plastic, so the screw would not tighten. Luckily it was a simple fix of using a slightly oversized screw to cure the issue. Maybe it was just a bad shell.
