Review: Looks great! Don't buy separate screwdrivers but you will need tweezers. - Patience, time and steady hands. Three things needed to make this a success. The shells are of great quality (I chose the NES themed black shells with a dpad configuration) and they look great and feel very comfortable. They include a screwdriver which interchangeable heads for Phillips and the Tri type. There are a few reviews on here that said the screwdriver stripped the Tri screws. I believe that the screwdriver supplied (interchangeable heads rather than 2 separate screwdrivers) are the new issued version which is supposed to rectify this issue and I certainly had no issues with it. My advice is to go carefully, line up the shape, apply a good amount of pressure whilst unscrewed, this will still the screwdriver to become unseated and stripping the screw. No need to buy separate screwdrivers. The YouTube video signposted has an incorrect instruction which is in the title but I almost missed it so bear in mind when when watching it. It took me about an hour to do both joycons. I have no prior electronics experience and is the first time doing something like this. I would not have been able to do this task without some nose tweezers - I would suggest you buy a separate tweezers for this job. Search for ESD 15 tweezers and those are the pair that you need. I needed them to pull out and reattach the ribbon that you need to do as part of the task, I have small fingers but I don't think even the slightest of hands could reattach the ribbon without tweezers. Would also advise being careful when you open the joycon, I used a credit card to carefully snap it open so I could just fold it like a book like the video. Try doing this with just your hands and you risk ripping the ribbons and destroying your joy cons.
Review: Fantastic replacement shell and a perfect dpad to boot - Such a fantastic shell replacement, the dpad alone is absolutely brilliant and the perfect replacement for those ridiculous directional buttons. The install was crazy easy, just slightly fiddly due to the tiny screws and small ribbon cable attachments. Honestly, after the reviews here and the sales description I was expecting a nightmare install but reality was the complete opposite. Each 'Con took less than an hour, going steady and accurately, and the end result was something legitimately indistinguishable from a genuine Nintendo Joycon... except far better looking and feeling :) Also, there were no bulge issues with the right JoyCon either, no need to shave any plastic notches. I'm guessing this is a v2 kit as it even came with a v.good magnetic switchable screwdriver set too. I genuinely couldn't recommend this any harder, it makes such a phenomenal improvement to the functionality of the left JoyCon and the overall aesthetics are much more visually pleasing. I love it, and the price was excellent too. Next step; ExtremeRate Switch shell replacement too ^_^ I'd add some photos of the finished product but it won't let me, sorry :/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Acceptable, I like the transparent look
*by I***L on 28 November 2022*

Installing these was a bit of an effort. Lining up the buttons correctly is ideal otherwise you’ll be opening it up again like I did (see image with misaligned < A). I damaged a three inside which meant a screw came out and had to open the case again and glue that screw in. I don’t think the buttons that come with it are very good quality and I only used the z ones and the d pad (you have no choice as it’s different from the original case). I used the black ones from the original jojcons otherwise. It would be great if you could work on meeting the same quality as the Nintendo ones. Buy double sided tape or fold over tape to create a double sided effect with this to keep the battery in place.
