Keep your screws organized. Watch a YourTube 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. Would be awesome if you combine it with the custom accessories from eXtremeRate Joycon Strap Shell AiryDocky Mini Dock Shell DFS LED Kit Firefly LED Tuning Kit Clear Atomic Purple -Dpad Clear Purple Rose Red Purple 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.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - eXtremeRate Clear Atomic Purple Joycon Handheld Controller Housing (D-Pad Version) with Full Buttons, DIY Replacement Shell Case for Nintendo Switch & Switch OLED Joy-Con – Console Shell NOT Included - eXtremeRate Clear Atomic Purple Console Back Plate DIY Replacement Housing Shell Case for Nintendo Switch Console with Kickstand – JoyCon Shell NOT Included - eXtremeRate Clear Atomic Purple DIY Housing Shell for Nintendo Switch Console, Replacement Faceplate Front Frame for Nintendo Switch Console w/Volume Up Down Power Buttons - Console NOT Included --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/170517672-extremerate-clear-atomic-purple-joy-con-handheld-controller-housing-d](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/170517672-extremerate-clear-atomic-purple-joy-con-handheld-controller-housing-d) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
