eXtremeRate Clear Atomic Puple Faceplate Backplate Handles for Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, DIY Replacement Grip Housing Shell Cover for Nintendo Switch Pro - Controller NOT Included

Very nice if you know how to take apart a controller. Be prepared to interact with tiny screws and the circuit board

I got this to replace my original housing that has worn down over the years and it does the job and looks nice. The only frustration I have is that the housing isn’t flush at the joints and while most aren’t too bad, some parts feel uncomfortable to run your hand over it. I may have just gotten one that wasn’t up to the normal standards but that is my only complaint. If you haven’t taken apart the controller before, be aware it will take at least 20-30 minutes to fully take apart and put back together with the new housing. While doing that, I would recommend giving it a nice cleaning since you already have to fully disassemble it and it doesn’t add much time to clean up. Just find a guide to do so if you aren’t comfortable figuring it out and make sure to use a high percentage isopropyl alcohol for any cleaning to prevent corrosion. Additionally, I recommend getting a precision driver instead of using the included screwdrivers. Do they work, technically but you will have less risk of stripping the heads if you use a high quality driver. I personally recommend the Wiha 26194 set of “Phillips Head” aka Cross head as the quality is high and they stand by their tools. #1, #0, #00, and #000 which should handle almost all JIS/Phillips/Cross head screws you will find in electronics.

Overall the casing feels great and super sturdy to hold onto. The instructions are super easy to do and transferring it over was simple enough. I have done this mod to my Switch with the same company and the atomic purple and I noticed the pro controller is a darker purple and doesnt give the same effect that the joycons do. It didnt fit my antithetic but that doesnt mean its a bad production. Just didnt meet my color expectations.

Looks awesome! Easy install only about 20-30 mins, will be buying from again.

I got the atomic purple shell which is pretty cool but there is a black plastic piece on the inside that isnt replaced. It makes the purple much darker than its joy con counterpart. Which is what cost it a star.

This shell makes me feel so nostalgic for the old gameboy models! Its easy to install if you know a little about electronics. And not to mention, its such a cute color!

Looks and fit perfectly!

I’d definitely go with a different color choice, not the best but not terrible.

Love the look of the translucent shells, but wish eXtremeRate offered a neon translucent green shell for the pro controllers to match the switch console shell variant. This translucent green is nice, just a fair bit darker than the translucent neon green. Quality of the plastic is similar to the original Nintendo shell and all seams line up perfectly. Also installed the DTFS pro controller LED mod and definitely looks great but does slightly reduce battery life obviously. Going to order the atomic purple next!

I’ve been wanting a see through switch since it came out. I had to use YouTube to figure it all out but took less than 20 minutes
