Fits perfectly and works exactly as it should
Fits perfectly and works exactly as it should. The quality is great, and the clear atomic purple design looks amazing on the Switch. Easy to install and gives the console a unique, retro vibe. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to customize their Switch.

Excellent quality, however I'm not a fan of the clear buttons at all.
The installation took me roughly 2 hours and this is from someone who has a lot of disassembly experience and has already taken joy cons apart before. But this is not an issue at all, just something you should be aware of. The installation was pretty straightforward, the worst part was taking apart the triggers but had no major issues. I'm very glad this kit came with so many spare screws and springs as I had to use quite a few of these! The screwdriver was fine, I ended up using a different set for the installation however as the bits kept falling out but I think this would be fine if you didn't have any alternatives. I didn't like the clear buttons and they weren't up to the same standard as the shells so I decided to opt for using my original black buttons which I think looks a lot better. The shell fits really well together however and I'm excited to see how well it hold up over time as my original shell wore down and went shiny quite quickly. I did have one small issue, a few days after I had been using the system, one of the screws on my joy con came so loose it was sticking out, I haven't encountered this again but this is maybe due to me using the stock screws from my original joy cons instead of the screws included with this kit.

A great starter kit
Really cool looking, good quality case kit. Comes with the tools needed to install, which was a great bonus. However... the y00 screwdriver fittings teeth wore against the screws and needed replacement. Not a major issue to add a replacement. Can be a very fiddly process on the joycons definitely worth watching some YouTube tutorials first. Came with multi coloured replacement front facing buttons, but I kept the original black for effect. A shame there weren't any available in the same colour plastic too, or for the bumpers/triggers. Added bonus - you can see the joycon lights through the case which is great!!

Really high quality case
High Quality plastic. Moulding great and everything fits in nice and snug just like in the original housing. Just one issue when installing the left bumper pcb into the housing, screwed it all down and was fine. Went to put the mid piece on and the two suppers had snapped. I Managed to use the mid piece to push the pcb down enough so that the left bumper button works so it’s not an issue. Didn’t take too long to install all the parts. Comes with all the screws and spare sponge pads/fan mesh grills too.

Awesome
Excellent quality, the screwdrivers worked well for me. For the joy cons I followed a great tutorial on YouTube by Lily & Beba Play which avoided removing any ribbons which was great. My switch looks absolutely fantastic now and feels as good as it did before

Pretty cool looking
As recommended by other reviewers, I discarded the tools and instructions provided and instead used the iFixit kit I already had (no affiliation) and their instructions. It was extremely fiddly and took several hours, but once I got the left joycon done (probably you should do that one first too) I was in the swing of it and was able to do the right joycon a lot faster. The most difficult thing about the backplate was finding the screws, though protip on that one - the joycons use PH00 but the switch itself uses J000 which looks like a PH00 but absolutely isn't, so save yourself some trouble there. I ended up using the original buttons rather than the clear replacements it came with (plus a coloured button pack from the same seller) because IMO they look better, but that's an aesthetic choice. All in all I probably would have saved money and not bought the clear backplate since there's not very much to see through it, but it looks good together so I can't complain.

Let down compared to other XR products
Whilst I love the style it seems like a good 60% of screw holes don't take the correct size screws properly. You will need a little bit of sandpaper or some snips to do clean/flush cuts on the buttons. The original boards fit in okay so it is compatible with the original switch (not lite oled etc), with the above issue. Not the easiest install with how fiddly the joycons can be, especially the right with the IR and nfc hardware. The stand doesn't come with the stand hardware (the single screw/U bracket, every replacement stand I've ever gotten comes with that as part of the stand so it's an odd decision to not include it. The buttons (abxy) can be inserted incorrectly (wrong angles, which with see through buttons can be hard to spot) the originals can't be incorrectly installed. The home button going into the bracket feels a bit loose, will need a dab of glue to stop it falling out. Overall it's the worst extremerate kit I've gotten. I've done many controller reshells using extremerate kits and they always felt premium. I'm happy with the look and feel/texture but it feels expensive for a substandard product. Maybe I just got a badly formed one, ymmv.

A must have for any gamer
Quality product. - Decent plastic, comes with everything you need (even screw drivers and a complete set of screws - but no thermal paste, so have this handy if you’re changing out the bezel) - I used the original Nintendo screws for mine just because I wanted to and could. Not for the faint of heart, medium level difficulty. Instructions via Youtube available which is a great help. Just take your time and enjoy your personalised console.

Stripped screws
Returned the item because the included screwdriver did a horrible job unscrewing the screws and stripped them.

Très bien
Couleur et qualité très bonne.

Gave our switch a fresh look
The clear like green with black console go so hard 🔥 The screwdriver quality could be improved as it is easy to strip screws if you're not careful. The video on the YT channel is good enough as a guide, still you should be very organized to be able to put each screw back in its place. (I didn't use the spare screws or buttons that came in the set)

Se Paciente
Esta Perfecta Y Ya Puesta Se Ve Increíble, Aunque faltan herramientas que no vienen incluidas y hay que saber tener paciencia y los conocimientos necesarios

Facil de instalar y muy llamativa
Luce increíble y no fue difícil de instalar, lo mejor es que incluye los tornillos necesarios, bastante útil pues es muy común que falten tornillos en la pata trasera cuando se cae con facilidad, en mi caso la anterior carcasa se termino rompiendo (de otra marca, y seguramente fue por problema mio) así que los repuestos de tornillos fueron bastante útiles
