Actually they are housings with full set buttons for Nintendo Switch & Switch OLED Joy con without any electronic parts . Requires customers to take apart the Joy con to replace the original Joy con shells and buttons. Requires customer with moderate electronic installation experience. Product Feature Totally upgrade your Switch to the exclusive and stylish level. Made of durable non-toxic ABS plastic. Personalize your handheld console. It is semi-slick, matte soft plastic. Package Includes 1x Left Right Joy con housing with middle tray 1x L/R/ZR/ZL buttons, 1x A/B/X/Y buttons, 1x Direction buttons 2x SL buttons, 2x SR buttons 1x Screwdriver handle, 1x Cross screwdriver bit, 1x Y00 screwdriver bit, 33x Screws, 6x Springs Note: The console, Joy con and other parts are not included. The console housing shell is not included. Installation Tips Installation difficulty: High Time spent: 3 hour or more Patience needed: High Go slow. Check every connection. Keep your screws organized. Watch a YouTobe video on how to do it though, pausing and replaying often. When you are reassembling the Joy con you must be conscious of how tight you are tightening the screws as that will affect how your buttons to press. When removing the Joy con 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 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 Joy con are spring loaded so be careful when opening.

The shell design is very nice, and the 'soft touch' finish makes it feels like a first party product. Most of the necessary tools are included, but you'll also want a small plastic pry tool and a good pair of thin nose tweezers. Extra springs and screws are included, which is great because the shoulder button springs get lost easily and the official joycon screws are pretty soft. The buttons come on a plastic sprue & will need to be clipped off and cleaned up with a small file or hobby knife. The actual shell replacement process is a bit finnicky, especially on the right joycon, and you have to be very careful not to damage the fragile ribbon cabled. Definitely only try this on a pair of joycons that you'd be willing to lose if it goes wrong. That said, after watching a few youtube demonstrations, I was able to successfully change out the shell without too much trouble. Everything works great (better than before, since I replaced the drifting thumbsticks), feels great, and looks amazing. One thing to note is that the D-pad is just a plus shaped piece of plastic layed over the normal internal parts of the left joycon's four directional buttons. It's very clicky, and it doesn't have the pivot point in the middle that real d-pads have to prevent you from pressing opposite directions at once. If you press the middle, or press anywhere with too much force, then it will read all four directions at once. It's still better than the normal directional buttons, but if you're just looking for a good d-pad for playing 2d games in handheld mode, then get the Hori left d-pad controller instead. It has a proper d-pad, and you don't have to risk breaking a joycon conttol to use it. But if you want a fancy set of full featured joycons that can't be bought in stores, and you're willing to put some work and a bit of risk into them, then this kit is great. Review: The Great Golden Wave Off Kanagawa - I was searching for a new shell for my Joycons and I can confidently say that the ExtremeRate Great Golden Wave Off Kanagawa is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! The kit comes with the shells and black buttons, but I've decided to purchase the Chrome Gold buttons separately to elevate the look of the shell. The Kit itself comes with extra screws and springs in case you lose one during the shell swap process, a screw driver but i recommend getting a magnetic one instead helps a lot if you don't have small hands or can't sit the screw straight, a set of black buttons that looks nice but I chose to purchase the Golden set instead to personalize my pair more, and the cool shells as well.The shells have a very soft feel to them and the patter is actually textured so you can feel the design instead of it being printed on. I would highly recommend buying a pair if you are looking for a replacement or want something to display alongside your Switch. I don’t normally write reviews but i had to for this product it is absolutely AMAZING!!!! I hope my review helps thank you and have a lovely day :D ## Features - Custom designed replacement housing to perfectly fit for Nintendo Switch Joycon.

The final result looks great, though the installation process was a bit tricky—this is more due to the complexity of working with small electronics rather than any flaw with the product itself. With prior experience disassembling devices like the Switch, Steam Deck, and laptops for repairs or upgrades, I found the process manageable but still challenging. The kit includes useful tools, such as extra screws, springs, and a screwdriver with both Phillips and Y-head bits, which were appreciated. However, I would have liked needle-nose tweezers to be included, as they made handling small components much easier (luckily, I had my own). The installation guide on their website was helpful, but it referenced a slightly different version of the kit, which added some unnecessary steps and caused minor confusion at first. That said, it’s still a good tutorial overall. I don't often write reviews, but this product deserves one. I highly recommend it and might even pick up another set for my second pair of Joy-Cons. That said, if you don’t have experience with electronics repair, this may not be the best project to start with. ## Frequently Bought Together - eXtremeRate Blue Flame Soft Touch Joycon Handheld Controller Housing (D-Pad Version) w/Full Buttons, DIY Replacement Shell Case for Nintendo Switch & Switch OLED Joy-Con – Console Shell NOT Included - eXtremeRate Firefly LED Tuning Kit for Nintendo Switch Joycons Dock NS Joycon SL SR Buttons Ribbon Flex Cable Indicate Power LED - Blue - eXtremeRate Custom Soft Touch Grip Faceplate for Nintendo Switch Dock, Glow in Dark - Totem of Kingdom Black DIY Replacement Housing Shell for Nintendo Switch Dock - Dock NOT Included --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/207715042-blue-flame-soft-touch-joycon-handheld-controller-housing-d-pad](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/207715042-blue-flame-soft-touch-joycon-handheld-controller-housing-d-pad) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-03*
