Review: Excellent Quality Sonic Shells - Just Invest in Proper Tools First - These Joy-Con shells are absolutely stunning - the Sonic-themed design looks fantastic and the build quality genuinely rivals OEM Nintendo parts. My son was thrilled with how they turned out for his birthday, and honestly, people would believe these came straight from Nintendo. What Works: The shells themselves are top-notch. The plastic quality matches the original Joy-Cons perfectly, with no flex or cheap feel. The fit is precise, and once assembled, they feel indistinguishable from official Nintendo hardware. The Sonic artwork is vibrant and professionally applied - no concerns about it wearing off. The Challenge: Installation took about an hour, which is manageable but requires patience. The biggest issue is the included screwdriver - it's not magnetized, which makes handling those tiny screws unnecessarily difficult. I'd strongly recommend purchasing a proper magnetized precision screwdriver set from desertcart (usually £5-10) before starting. This single upgrade transforms the experience from frustrating to straightforward. Tips for Success: Watch YouTube tutorials beforehand - they're invaluable Clear a large, well-lit workspace Set aside 60-90 minutes without interruptions Keep a small container for organizing screws by component Seriously, get magnetized screwdrivers Overall: These shells punch well above their price point in terms of quality. With proper tools and preparation, this is a rewarding project that delivers professional-looking results. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to customize their Switch, just don't rely on the included screwdriver.
Review: Rendered two left joycons useless. - Pro: The installation is easy and it comes with quite a few extra screws and springs. Con: In the parts package there is an unknown white, round plastic part, which appears to neither fit anywhere, not is mentioned at all on the YouTube video description for the assembly. The plastic of the shell is too soft - through no effort at all several screw holes have been wound through as there appeared no difference from winding the screw in to "no further". This means several holes have no grip and the shell is rather loose. Specifically the ZL button appeared to be a particular pain in the backside which has destroyed some connections on that part when clipping it in - making the controller pretty much useless. Not only have I spent £32 on two shells which are basically broken - I now have to find myself two new left joycons. Gutted. Absolute waste.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you remove these shells once you have fitted them? I wanted to practice on an old controller first, then remove it and put it on a new joycon**
A: Yes, though I would be extremely careful with the screws, and buy a good quality Y00 screwdriver separately to remove the screws. The screwdriver supplied with the kit has a tendency to shred the screws real easy.

**Q: Does this come with everything you need?**
A: The package includes a set of replacement housing shells, buttons, and a set of toolsets.

**Q: From reading the reviews, I don't want to use the tools provided. What screwdrivers are needed? And is there any additional tools that will help?**
A: Hello, replacing these requires a 1.5mm PH00 screwdriver, and a 1.5mm Y00 screwdriver.

**Q: Could you just put the shells on and not the other stuff?**
A: No unfortunately it’s not that easy, but it’s not overly complicated the only advice I can give when changing the shells is don’t force anything together or apart, do one at a time as one side is more difficult than the other and watch some videos on YouTube. I found it easy to do but I’m a IT geek, once you’ve done it you will probably do it again. Hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to assemble... No... Worth it? YES!!
*by L***Z on 23 July 2019*

Firstly I'd like to point out this is not a 'snap fit' style kit, you will have to take apart your joycons and you will need the right tools and confidence to do it. This kit is brilliantly well made and the parts are fantastic quality. The difficulty factor is on Nintendos part manufacturing their products in such an obtuse manner. That being send with plenty of patience and good lighting you can easily manage it. The set comes with full housing for the internals, replacement screws (you'll definitely want to use these as triwing screw are the worst) buttons and everything else in between including the tools to fit it. The red set I chose has the 'soft touch' effect and feels really well made, the contrast against the black of the unit itself looks really good. The original button fit with the casing so you can choose to keep them, as I did, or you can use the replacement one the set comes with, it's entirely up to you. Sadly, and this is the only downfall I have, is that the set comes with no instructions what so ever. Whilst this can make it challenging to go ahead and attempt to fit the new covers (in some cases it took me and the other half as on pair of hands just wasn't enough lol) the result is definitely worth it and I love the new look its given my Switch. I will point out I found a fantastic step by step guide on YouTube that helped me fit this set and its really worth having a look yourself for one to watch watch of before you attempt it if in anyway unsure... I've included during and after after pictures for anyone curious.
