Hardware Joycon case replacing tutorial

[screw_ball69]

Are there any good tutorials on replacing the case of Joycons with the after market ones?
I'd like to see how hard it is before I buy one.

It's definitely not something a beginner should try. You'll need the proper tools including a triwing and small Phillips screwdriver, a spudger to help separate the case, and a set of tweezers to work with the small ribbon cables.
If you have some experience working with small electronics then you should be fine.

Is a spudger and some tweesers a must have for the 'operation'? I have all the other gear and im waiting for my clear replacements to come

Ive taken stuff apart before (from PC building to modding gameboys) so it could be worse?

Spudger not really. But I would definitely say tweezers are a must.
