Compatibility and fit
Engineered for the Nintendo Switch. Most standard retail units across all regions (NA, EU, JP, AU) are supported. Check the compatibility table in the Specs section below to confirm your exact device model and firmware version are covered. Region-locked accessories or limited-edition hardware variants may differ in internal layout — contact us if you are unsure.
A typical installation takes 15–30 minutes using a tri-wing Y00 screwdriver, a Phillips #00 screwdriver, and a plastic spudger. We strongly recommend watching a full teardown video for your specific device revision before you begin. Work on a clean, well-lit, static-free surface; a silicone repair mat with magnetic screw organizer is ideal. Keep screws sorted by length and location — they are NOT interchangeable and using the wrong screw can damage the PCB or strip a post. If any component resists during reassembly, stop immediately, recheck ribbon-cable seating and alignment tabs, and try again gently.
What is included
- eXtremeRate Mint Green DIY Full Button Set for Nintendo Switch & OLED Joy-Con wireless controller
- USB-C to USB-A charging cable (1.5 m / 5 ft)
- Quick-start setup guide and warranty card
- Not included: protective carrying case, extra thumbstick caps, AA batteries, or charging dock
Buying guidance
Before adding this button set to your cart, double-check the model and color variant to make sure it matches your Nintendo Switch. Keep in mind that product colors may appear slightly different on screen compared with the physical item due to monitor calibration and studio lighting. If you are ordering as a gift or are unsure about compatibility, our support team is happy to verify your hardware revision before you buy.
Invest in a quality precision screwdriver set if you do not already own one — cheap drivers strip delicate tri-wing and JIS screws easily, turning a quick mod into a headache. Always keep your original parts in a labelled bag — you may need them if you sell the console, send it in for warranty service, or simply want to return to stock.
Best for
- Gamers looking for a premium third-party alternative to the stock Nintendo Switch controller with expanded customization options

- Streamers who want a controller that visually matches their overlay, lighting, and overall broadcast branding
- Casual and accessibility-focused gamers seeking improved ergonomics, lighter weight, or remappable controls for comfort

What modders are saying
Was worried the shell swap might affect joystick calibration somehow. After two weeks of daily play, zero issues. The Mint Green shell is purely cosmetic and does not interfere with any electronics.
The Mint Green plastic has a slightly smoother finish compared to the OEM Nintendo shell. Not better or worse, just different. Fit is precise with no gaps. All screws line up and the shell snaps together cleanly.
Each kid picked their own color. The Mint Green one went to my oldest. Easy enough install that my teenager did it with minimal help. Controller still pairs instantly and all buttons work perfectly.
Photos do not do the Mint Green justice. Under normal room lighting it has a beautiful translucency that the stock Joy-Cons cannot match. eXtremeRate quality is consistently good across the three shells I have bought from them.
The shell itself is excellent. Mint Green finish is flawless. Only challenge was reseating the ribbon cables during reassembly. First-timers should watch a teardown video before starting. Once together everything functions perfectly.
