Made of durable non-toxic ABS plastic. The shells are clear but not 100%. 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.

Review: 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. ## Features - Custom designed replacement housing to perfectly fit for Nintendo Switch console and controller.

Original: 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - eXtremeRate DIY Replacement Shell Buttons for Nintendo Switch, Back Plate for Switch Console, Housing with Full Set Buttons for Joycon Handheld Controller - Clear Black [No Electronics Parts] - eXtremeRate Clear Black DIY Housing Shell for Nintendo Switch Console, Replacement Faceplate Front Frame for Nintendo Switch Console w/Volume Up Down Power Buttons - Console NOT Included - AUTOKAY Front Outer Lens LCD Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement Part (NO LCD Screen) with Opening Tool Fits for Nintendo Switch --- ## 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.hk/products/378620371-extremerate-transparent-clear-black-back-plate-for-nintendo-switch-console](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/378620371-extremerate-transparent-clear-black-back-plate-for-nintendo-switch-console) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
