I agree these ribbon cable connectors are pain and the inventor should get [insert your favorite torture here]. I have a mobile phone where i broke the small plastic lock from the connector. To solve the appearing connection issue, i put a small plastic piece which i cut out from a common blister pack, under the ribbon cable to give a bit more pressure to the connectors. The phone still works.

Who can recommend a really quality D-Pad replacement case for the JoyCon?
My favorite color would be this:
My favorite color would be this:
(but green or purple would do as well)
The link I posted on page 1 is for a/the manufacturer on aliexpress, they have all those colours with d-pad, and I can vouch that the d-pad is nice.
The seller of that color also has dpad versions, that's what mine is (but in green). I can say they are good quality
I have been planning on getting these (color undetermined) for a while. I am curious, did they include anything like a rubber pad to make the buttons softer? I hate these hard clicky ass buttons, only pet peeve with the Switch honestly.
Thats most likely the case those ribbon cables on the rail sliders are extremely flimsy when taking off the backplate. I ended up having to buy a replacement cable from ebay b/c It got detached from the rail.
Everything works perfectly fine now just waiting to give this sexy baby homebrew

This saddens me. I was hoping they'd include a thin rubber pad for the buttons to reduce clicking. Oh well, can't win them all. Still badass shells though.
They're isn't really a good way to add rubber to it without ruining the functionality. Pretty much every mobile grabbing device uses this type of button. I sent really see any problem with it, and I honestly prefer them because you can usually get more precise inputs with them.
Functionally, they are absolutely fine. It's the annoyance of the click which can be heard over the full volume of a game. I couldn't care less if it is standard or not, the shells sure aren't. And sure they may be more reliable, but from my point of view, they are no better than newer controllers using soft buttons. It's a matter of preference I guess, not reliability or functionality.
Rubber membrane buttons work differently than these clicky ones. It would require a mainboard mod to make it a rubber membrane type, a simple case mod won't be able to change the click.
Ah took me a bit to find it. Guess I'm right here?
Please look at the link (under the quote above). Is the first color (named "blue") the one from the picture I quoted before? I'm not sure and usually I'm more the "green guy" than the "blue guy" but the green looks too Playmobil/LEGO like to me.

I actually have that same color with a dpad. Just look around on Aliexpress, or go with amazon if you want to pay more for faster shipping, they're all the same thing

Right, but a rubber membrane manufactured to fit snuggly should/would reduce their volume a bit.
No it really wouldn't do much based on how they work. The tactile buttons underneath would still click. At best it would maybe slightly muffle the sound while simultaneously make the buttons function slightly worse.
