Hi,

does anyone here use a replacement shell for switch or joycon? If yes. Where would be a good place to order some in a reasonable quality? I'm most intereseted in transparent shells.
I know there are some offered on wish or ali express. But what about the qualitiy of these?

Thanks in advance

the eXtremerate from Amazon are great, especially their "soft feeling" ones.
I had cheaper ones from Aliexpress and they were considerably worse in quality.

I always got from AliExpress, they were awesome but there are several price (and quality) ranges there. I'll find the link I ordered from (I made 4 joycons already).

Edit: Found it https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/4000...earchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

They have a more smooth finish than the regular joycons, the screws are much better than the original (this do not means much, as the original screws are awful). I like it a lot.

Superterrificimports on eBay has always come through with good products for me. I've not gotten joy-con shells from him but I have gotten switch shells& they were off very good quality

If you order directly from ExtremeRate's website the prices are a good deal cheaper plus the selection is much wider. The only downside is shipping time will be longer from China. If I remember correctly a D-pad joy-con shell is around $20 via Amazon and about $7 - $10 depending on model direct from them. ExtremeRate definitely in my experience has the best quality products of this type.

    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
