I bought this kit because I got a second-hand Nintendo Switch Pro controller with visible damage to the outer shell. After installing the eXtremeRate front plate with grips, my controller looks practically brand new. The design is awesome and really enhances the overall look.
The installation took me a couple of hours, but by following the manufacturer’s videos and being careful, I had no issues, even though I’m not someone who typically does these kinds of tasks. It was fun and easier than I expected. The controller is now fully functional, and I’d even say that the materials feel better to the touch than the original Pro controller ones.
I’m giving it 5 stars, and I highly recommend it if you want to give your controller a fresh new look.
J’ai un peu galrer monter la coque car il y a des petites visses qui ne faut absolument pas perdre mais aprs 2 jours a y est, la manette est avec sa nouvelle coque et on dirais de presque que on a une manette de gamecube dans la mainnsauf que non c’est bien une manette de Nintendo Switch ^^
Je recommande pour les gamers qui souhaite change la coque de leur manette Switch Pro controller en un style qui pourrait en refaire revenir des souvenirs d’enfance ou d’adolescence ;D
Its really good but it didn’t came with a manual which sucks but it did come with extra screws incase you lose them the feel of the control feels perfec
definitely happy with how it came out, but i researched the process for building it and even still it was a very stressful 30 minutes. the screws and screw drivers that come with the package strip pretty easy. too easy. still, my controller works for now. if you want to take the gamble on this controller be my guest lol
This shell kit for the pro-controller is awesome. Cracking build quality, full set of buttons in each colour so you can combo to your hearts content.
The most awkward part of the swap is the ribbon cables inside and the fiddly z triggers. Once it’s done though the controller looks sick!
For example you don’t get one red B button. You get the entire set. And this goes for everything. 2 yellow sticks. 2 gray sticks. Complete set of purple buttons, green buttons etc etc. So you can make it look different if you want.
I love Extremerate’s shells and buttons. I have them on all my joycon and I decided to customize my pro since I believe the Switch is on the way out so let’s spice it up. That reminds me, I wish it came in Spice Orange. That would match my whole GameCube setup.
It comes with the tools as well which for the first time I had to use. They seem to work really well. I didn’t feel like it was going to strip the screws. I needed to use theirs because with my set the bits are too thick to fit into the deeper screw slots inside the remote.
Taking the Pro apart is easy compared to other controllers but I’d say watch the video they have and be patient. It’s not ridiculous like opening a Joycon for the first time or an Xbox Elote Series 2. Those are not for the faint of heart. This is pretty easy and straight forward.
The shell is also the soft touch plastic which I say gets and holds dirt more than regular plastic. And I still don’t know how to clean them properly so be aware and just you know, don’t eat Cheetos and use it I suppose.
This shell took my regular boring black Pro controller from never being used, to being on full display and used regular instantly. I love it so much.
The look and feel of this product is definitely high quality and it looks amazing on the switch pro controller. It was somewhat easy to install and it did take me about 15 minutes to replace the shell and the buttons on my old pro controller. For those who have no experience doing this, I would highly recommend searching on YouTube for a tutorial on installing the shell and buttons on a switch pro controller for beginners. This will greatly guide you and prevent you from breaking or damaging anything inside the controller. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to makeover their pro controller and make it look stylish.
