Here we have a complete walkthrough on how to change your joycon shells. It’s not as hard as you think, but you do need to take your time. The screws aren’t the best quality in joycons and can be easily stripped. Just go careful.
The joycon shells are the “Classic NES” versions and were provided by ExtremeRate.

I took 3 hours to do the first one and 30 minutes on the second. This is such a cool skill to learn, especially for when the stick starts drifting. Thank you so much man. I honestly wanna do it again because it was so satisfying to get it right.
If it starts to drift you probably wont need to Open the Joy con at all. You need to buy cleaning spray for electronics. Make sure the Joy con is turned off and you spray on joystick under the little Shell of rubber. Turn the stick around in all directions to make sure the spray goes everywhere it needs to go. Then wait for 2 hours. After that you can calibrate the joycon in the settings and it Probably works perfect again👍🏼 try that first before you buy a new joystick I bought a joystick totally unnecessarily.
Same, I wish my friends had broken joycons so I could do extreme home makeovers for their controllers.
I don't want to buy any 2nd hand because they're only like 20 dollars less than brand new.
@@yuiop271 sometimes the issue is within the hardware inside the controller though. My flex cable for the joystick was touching the pcb underneath, which meant that the drift didn't stop no matter how much I cleaned it.
Yea anything like this is really just about being patient and careful. But you really dont have to be as crazy people think just dont go rippingthings apart beast mode style. All about practice.
Same!!!
This is the only guide you need, folks. The perfect video.
Thank you. Appreciate it 👍🏻
A tip for those who don't want their springs going missing! Put the whole part with the trigger into a ziplock bag and when it's in the bag, pry the triggers off so they burst out and remain in the bag.
Omg this is so smart and helpful, how did I not think of it? It seems so obvious now haha. Thanks for the tip
What my parents see when I set up the Nintendo switch from my room tv to downstairs tv
lol
For me that’s how I see my dad because his an engineer
Your version of replacing the right joycon looks so much more efficient and easy! Hopefully I'll say the same when I'm replacing mines 😂😂🤣
Just take it easy. The first 4 screws aren’t very good quality so be careful. Do it step by step and I know you can do it! Any questions, let me know.
pro tip for beginners doing this: make sure the buttons work before closing it up because i had to take the joycons apart 3 times just to fix button issues 😭
Mijne does still not work
How did you fix your buttons not working?
The Joy con's motherboard will put there on your garbage bag.🤣😂😂😂🤣
Thats why i still prefer searching for people or store that are expert on replacing shells hahaha
Me watching this even though I don’t have a switch
Great tutorial! I was very intimidated at first because I've never done anything like this before, but it was a lot easier than I expected! Took me around 2 hours total
Truly the best guide on youtube. Not too fast, he explains everything, no important steps cut out. 5/5
Thank you, glad it helped.
I just think people get too worried about it, I just followed you and took my time and I did it flawless (besides one screw) but anyways thx
Glad it helped 👍🏻
thank you for this tutorial! was putting off replacing my shells for a long time because another tutorial i watched a year ago fiddled with the ribbons and motherboard and i'm not really confident with that. found your tutorial and finally replaced mine successfully!
Okay this tutorial is seriously the best out there. I just finished replacing the shells on my brand new joycons and it went perfectly!! Was scary at first but as I followed along with the video, it got much less intimidating. It's tedious and you need patience but it's not hard to do! Thank you soooooo much for this!!! :D I feel like a pro at it now!
Glad it helped 👍🏻
Definitely makes it look easy also i love how you don't take everything apart just the necessary things faster easier install
Thanks for that. Really appreciate the comment. 👍🏻
That song called "Furious, Fearless Fall in Love"
Hey man, I just want to take a moment to express just how much I appreciate the work your doing. I watched the back plate replacement as well to help me get it done myself. The fact that you took all this time to make a high quality video with genuinely good advice and don't charge a dime for it is truly spectacular. Keep up the good work friend, and I wish you the best.
Thanks Ben, means alot to me. Really appreciate you commenting that. Take care. 👍🏻
thanks for the guide man, i found a million guides where people did it in 10 minutes and went fast like the flash, so at first i was a bit scared, then i found your guide, where you took it slow and step by step explaining everything along, it was really useful, you just gained a subscriber :)
cheers pal. appreciate the support.
you werent kidding with "the best tutorial" title! super easy to follow and clear instructions, thanks a lot for this mate!
I’m buying shells in a couple weeks for the first time, I’ll keep this video in my watch later for reference. Will update you on how it goes when I get them!
Top tip is take it easy with the screws. They can strip easy.
Yo man thanks so much. Watched your video countless times before I purchased my shell and buttons. And then watched it countless times again on its way here. Got it all done time shot and all buttons work good 👍🏻
I just did mines , you did it in a different way but honestly , the way you did it was far better I trusted you while doing mine, and everything went good ! Thanks man I appreciate it !
Excellent guide! There's a lot of components on the motherboard that are easier to move to another shell without disconnecting them and I'm glad this video guide tells me what you should/shouldn't do.
Great tutorial! Followed all of your instructions and the change over went without any issues. Definitely agree with swapping out the factory Y screws for the X patterned ones. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for your detailed guide! It helped me a lot, and the whole process wasn't as bad as I thought it would be thanks to you!
Glad it helped 👍🏻
Just changed mine today! Pretty good step by step on how to change it. A little tricky with the springs, but patience and perseverance, it can be done
I truly appreciate this video. I was following a guide and the person was taking EVERYTHING apart. I am so glad I came across your video, saved me a headache.
Had a 100% success my first time changing shells thanks to this video. Been recommending this video to my friends who want to try this out after seeing mine :D
Thank you for the tutorial, helped me a lot! Word of advice to anyone who uses this kit: I did a test where I used aftermarket springs in the left, and the original springs in the right joycons. They do make a little bit of a difference and I'd recommend using the aftermarket spring! Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for your videos! I like how you are chill and the camera is close and clear enough that you can see exactly what is going on. Thank you for helping me make my standard red and blue joycons into awesome clear Atomic Purple!!!
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. I was hesitant on starting this project and I doubted myself, but following your instructions helped me achieved this. Thank you so much!!!
i've just ordered my new shells! i'm going to be replacing 2 sets but watching this has really put my mind at ease, hopefully i'll be a pro after doing all 4!
I appreciate you so much for talking through this rather then just adding music with no explanation. 😭❤️ Just finished changing my joy-con shells with this walkthrough and it was so much easier then I thought because of this walkthrough!!! Happy to report everything is working correctly too!!!!
Glad it helped.
Just successfully completed this tutorial last night. Probably the best tutorial on TH-cam currently and doesn't require disconnecting power or anything - making it really easy to do. Thanks a bunch! :)
Glad it helped 👍🏻
i suffer from a tremor. and you dont understand how much this tutorial helped me. all the other ones went too fast even with pausing. it gave me time to watch and follow along even if i had to redo steps 30 times 😂 thank you man. highly appreciated.
man thank you so much. i haven't even done the right joycon yet, but the left and also the backplate went perfectly. i was so scared at first but this was such a big help!!
This was such a huge help changing my joycon shells, I’ve been wanting to do it for a few years now but was too worried I’d break something. Such an easy swap, well explained so thank you 🙏
actually the best video tutorial out there. He told you exactly what you need to do and didn't add any unnecessary steps. Thanks for the help!
Glad it helped
Your video is honestly better than the original extreme rate tutorial. Thank you so much everything was super clear
Just for clarity, this isn't a critique on your video. I love it cuz it was well explained and gave me confidence to do this. You have my support
ordered an xtreme snes kit today+toolkit. Can't wait for it to arrive, this video helped a lot!
I can't thank you enough for your in depth explanation of how to do this. I completed my right joy con and my left is next. Had a bit of confusion with all my buttons feeling great and working but my controller not recognizing me pressing anything. Then I noticed the bottom zr button felt stiff. Took it off and resituated it and now it's all working. :D
I was absolutely terrified going into this process, but this tutorial seriously helped. Thank you so much!
TYSM!! This was unbelievably helpful. Especially considering the extremeRate kit I got off Amazon didn’t come with any instructions. Lifesaver
Took around 3 hours of redoing and finally finished up my shell replacement! Thank you for the in-depth tutorial, really appreciate it! It was a hassle but still do-able for anyone who wants to replace their shells but are new to all of this :) I'd honestly have a go at it again in the future.
Would you say it's achievable for somebody with basically no experience in tech mods and taking apart electronics?
@@hatrisfan Yes, I have no experience in tech modding nor taking apart a piece of electronic. I would say it does take patience and a stable hand though.
just successfully finished mine, thank you so much! This helped a ton :) Also, for those also doing this, there's adhesive on some parts so it won't pop off as easily as it looks in the video, take your time and carefully remove it
Thanks a bunch! This was extremely helpful, dropped a sub!
Glad it helped. Thanks and take care
I love ur vids bro
Wait what vuxvux?
Thank you so much for this! I am such a novice when it comes to electronic dismantling/re-mantling, but this tutorial worked perfectly for me! So easy to follow and helpful.
Took me so long and a fair load of stress but I’ve never done this stuff before so that’s on me and it’s expected; but the way you did this video is genuinely so helpful. I think in future you’ll want to label what type of nail; I understand it’s a rlly small harmless thing but it did stress me out forgetting what I used and not being told what type. I’d try look but obviously they’re so small I couldn’t. But genuinely I absolutely praise this video. Tysm!!!
Thank you so much!! this Video saved me. The walkthrough was very helpful and I completed it in under two hours with no problems.
Followed this guide as I worked on mine. Really was not as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks for the guide!
Excellent video. Got these for my son thinking it would be a slip on kinda thing. No instructions or guidance in the box. Other videos were trying to do it fast, had no words, or no close ups. This saved the day! Clear, pleasant, and easy to follow. Thanks!
Glad it helped 👍🏻
I’m always afraid to do stuff like this but I finally decided to do it and went and got me some and I’ll get them tomorrow good thing I found your video now I’m less nervous about doing it.
How’s it go
@@henryhr7730 went smoothly but the right jc is a pita
How’d it goooo
@@MiniMeags it was super easy I actually done it a few times now.
This guide helped so much man. Just did it myself in around an hour or so. Thanks again!
PERFECT TUTORIAL!!! Thank you so much, this video was super helpful, got my joycons switched up quick. It’s actually better than the actual extremerate video
This is the only video you need, I promise it is exactly as easy as it looks in the video. Watch this a couple times before you start and it will be CAKE. Thank you SO MUCH for this video!!! I have a wood grain shell on my switch and joycons and it looks amazing
Thank you Brittany. SWEET joycons! Nice.
Amazing video! Finally plucked up the nerves to sit down and change the shells on my controllers and this video made it almost easy hahah. I can't understand how you managed to change the shells, talk through all the steps AND keep it perfectly centered in frame!
Glad it helped. 👍🏻
Best video on TH-cam mate. Well done for doing it... The others I looked at only did half the job!... Thanks!!!
Thank you so much! I was definitely a little scared to start this process, but you outlined every step so clearly that I was able to get it done all by myself. You rock!
I’m pleased. What colour did you go for? 👍🏻
Out of all the videos I've seen this is by far the best! Never did this before but this video made it easy
Glad it helped 👍🏻
thanks for this awesome guide! i had a lot of trouble plugging the bumper back in on the first controller so when the cable was longer on the second one I chose not to unplug it and work around the dangling part, worked perfectly and I didn't have to mess with the annoying plug!
This video is brilliant, my brother really wants purple joy-cons so I'm buying some and giving them to him as a Christmas gift. Never seen a video so perfectly explained thank you so much.
Thank you for the comment. Means a lot. Appreciate it.
The best vid available so far and learn from your mistakes.
My springs didn't went everywhere
And find a wey no to mix the screws and install them exactly in the same hole
Glad it helped in some way 👍🏻
Thank you very much, it is my first time changing the shells of my Nintendo and they have been perfect, it is very well explained, it helped me a lot
I just swapped my joy con shells and followed along with your video which made it so much easier than I thought it would be.
Thank you very much for this detailed video.
I had a bit of trouble getting the original screws off but bought a kit from amazon that did the trick :)
Glad it helped. What colours did you go for ?
This is hands down the best guide to changing joycon shells! I've managed to do mine with no trouble and I've never done anything with electronics before. Sadly my left joycon still drifts, so I'll probably be taking it apart again soon to fit a replacement. Thank you for this! :D
Thank you 😊 Have a look at my other video on replacing the thumb stick if you haven’t already 👍🏻
Just used your tutorial to change my joycons to light pink with pastel buttons and it looks awesome! thanks so much for this
Thanks for the video! Made replacing the shells and swapping out new joysticks a breeze! Took a couple hours, but definitely so much easier with your closeups.
Kept the blue/red theme, and have the clear glacier blue and clear cherry pink. :)
Nice 👍🏻 Glad it helped
I had a problem with the screws being stripped easily. But after I removed them the rest of the tutorial was very helpful. Thanks!
Omg i just did it and it turned out perfectly! Thank you so much for the help! I even got the same brand as you, but they werent the same shells. The ones i got were pastel pink
Perfect! Glad it helped. 👍🏻
Thanks for this pal, it helped a lot. So glad mine came with extra springs and screws because I lost loads of them.
I followed this entire video to a tee, honestly guys if your looking for the proper way to do it then this video is the one. Couldn't thank you enough for going slow and being an amazing teacher in changing joy cons. 10/10 👏🏽👍🏽❤️😊
Thank you for taking the time to comment that. I really appreciate it 👍🏻
my stepdaughter is looking at new casings for hers, so I looked up a vid to make sure i could do it without mucking it up. Did the right one on my own switch, just disassembly and reassembly, worked like a charm. Now i'm kinda looking forward to when she gets hers so i can do it for real, lol
watched this video twice and managed to do both in about an hour and a half. Ive never done something like this but this video is the most helpful one I've seen.
Glad it helped 👍🏻
thank you for the video! took me about 3 hours to complete but its all done and working!!! i was very hesitant because i didn't want to break anything and I've never done anything like this before but if I can do it, you can too! thank you again!
Very clear and straight to the point! After doing the right Joycon the left took me half the time. Though the only issue I've had has been the (-) button sinking in being practically inaccesable. Seemed to be a gap behind the button even with the rubber bit which confused me, but hey I got myself some animal crossing style joycons now so I can't complain ^^
This was such a fun diy!! Even though I broke off the trigger-thing for the ZR-Button (and even tried to to order a replacement, but that would have taken 3 weeks to arrive - so...) I'd just secured it with some tape and it works again. I learned so much about controllers and due to the fixing I really got into it and tried several things to make it work. The best feeling is to push the ZR button and see the joycon lighten up again!
Thanks for the tutorial
Looked at other videos this was by far the best explanation of this. Thanks
Thanks. appreciate it 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video! Super concise and to the point and was able to get mine on with only a bit of fiddling and this was my first time. Will recommend this to my friends :)
used your tutorial but started on the opposite joycon, the left took 45 mins but the right took a little over two hours. THANK YOU!
If I had known how much easier this was than I’d anticipated, I wouldn’t have put it off for so many months! Proud new owner of a clear atomic purple Switch and I have Console Accessories to thank!
Take it slow, have confidence, and it’ll be a success! :)
SWEET!
This tutorial has been helpful in every step I took to replace my Joycon cases. The right controller was much easier to work on.
Thank you very much for the tutorial, man, I really appreciate it.
Glad it helped!
Can't thank you enough for this tutorial, you're an absolute lifesaver!
Only issue I had was assembling it and then realizing the Minus button had fallen out but luckily that was quick to be put back in. You've definitely earned a sub from me.
Thank you for the kind words, appreciate it. And glad you sorted it. What colour did you go for ?
thanks for the video man just did a chrome faceplate replacement and this video made it so much easier
Im so sorry for my comment I didnt know how to replace my shells but once I started to watch your video I followed every step on my left anr gray joycons and I did it perfect without any screw left behind thank you so much. I subscribed!
Thank you. really appreciate it.
When are u planning to do a video about replacing the medium plastic front panel that will be awesome.
You made this whole process a lot easier. Thank you so much. I got the green chameleon shell replacements for my switch and I absolutely love it and it works perfectly.
I wish I could give a mega like or something, this was such a great tutorial. I was able to swap my joy ones to clear and it looks epic. Thanks so much!
Thank you. Instead of a “mega like” I’d appreciate it if you shared my channel around, help out us small channels loads. Thanks for the comment and take care.
This video was very useful! Thank you so much for the video. I couldn’t have done it without it
You gained my sub. Great video to follow. I figured out tyr screw you missed before you mentioned it so I'm proud about that. They feel and work great. You just have to go slow while doing this all. Took an hour for the left joycon and an hour and a half for the right joycon. Probably could do them way quicker now that I know what I'm doing. I did forget to install the round sticky things thst lay on the inside of the shells where the analog sticks lay at but they seek to work like the day I bought them. I hope they wasn't for anything important.
Thanks for this! Super easy to follow along. Just changed my joycons for the first time :)
Thank you so much. So happy with my sakura pink switch. :)
I spoke to extremerate about Sakura pink. They said it’s one of their most popular. 👍🏻 good choice.
thank you for this easy to follow tutorial. very happy with my joycon makeovers!
Thank you so much for this! Took me an hour for the first one because i was so nervous but quicker on the 2nd joycon
10 months after you posted this I still use this video to this day to customize my joycons 😁 only video I ever needed in my life!
I’m so pleased it helps. 👍🏻
Thanks a million. Your video was perfect and helped me do. Exactly what I was aiming to.
Amazing tutorial, used this to swap mine for an atomic purple. Thank you! :)
Thank you so much for sharing this video, I follow your video step by step, and I made it!! Changed my joy on shell to pink, absolutely love it and I m so glad I decide to do it, I thought if I break it then I will just buy a new one luckily I don’t need to 😆 the press spring part is the most difficult one, rest really not as scary as I thought!
Thanks so much for this guide! I reshelled both of my joycons using it, and they turned out perfect!
Excellent 👍🏻
Thanks for this I tried to follow the official video and managed to break a ribbon cable clamp on my right joycon following your video was way easier and saved me anymore stress so I didn't f up another joycon motherboard
thank you so much! I just customized my switch, and it works perfectly! I couldn’t have done this without this!!
So glad it helped
Thank you so so much! Just finished with the joy cons, needed to clean the left one because I spilled some orange juice and it wouldn't connect to the switch anymore 😕
Your step by step tutorial helped a lot, never did something like that before and now it works again and looks nice too!
Nice one. Well, not nice you spoilt OJ on it, nice one you fixed it 👍🏻
Thanks for making this video!! It really helped me out, I was able to put atomic purple shells on my joycons thanks to this video.
Glad it helped
