eXtremeRate Clear Faceplate Backplate for Nintendo GameCube
eXtremeRate Clear Faceplate Backplate for Nintendo GameCube Controller, Custom DIY Replacement Housing Shell Cover with Buttons for Nintendo GameCube Controller – Controller NOT Included
From the brand
The shell itself is great. Feels like a good quality replacement for the original shell. In my case, the original shell and the left thumb stick were damaged, so I ended up using all the original buttons and triggers. I’m glad I did, because the replacement buttons were not great. Maybe their special colored replacement buttons they sell separately are, but I don’t know that for sure. The fit is 99% perfect. There is a little wiggle room between the buttons and the shell, but it does not effect playability at all. The only thing that needed to be adjusted was the replacement left thumb stick. It was necessary to put a small scrap of paper into the the bottom hole of the thumb stick before installing in order for it to sit a bit higher. If you do not, the stick sits too low and the rubber catches the suede of the shell, creating an unwanted friction when trying to play games. Overall though, the feel of the controller shell is fantastic. It’s a bit smother than the slightly textured original, but it doesn’t feel slippery. With that being said, the finish of the chameleon option is absolutely amazing. Definitely a looker! Overall I would give it a 10/10 in appearance and a 9/10 in feel.

Lo vale
Es de plastico blanco y al mismo tiempo tiene una capa de pintura muy satn, debes jugar con las manos impecables, al parecer con el tiempo se ir manchando fcil, las palancas de respuestos son de mala calidad, pero honestamente lo vale, se siente excelente, ests comprando prcticamente un control de gamecube sin tarjeta madre, y la sensacin es genuina
Surprisingly great buy
Tbh I was kind of expecting the worst when I bought this but, for my purposes, this is some of the best money I’ve spent on my controller. Comes with the shell, every spare part you could need – right down to extra screws and trigger brackets, and even comes with a tri-wing and Phillips head screwdriver. One last thing: the controller shell feels amazing. Some people might find it too slick, but I absolutely love it. It’s hard to get good customization these days so thankyouthankyouthankyou.
P.S. yes, this does fit OEM/Smash4 controllers.
