Question 1

Why is it so ixspinsiv

Accepted Answer

It everyone speaks and writes English. English might be this person’s second language. But I guess that might not occur to the lesser educated people of the world.

Question 2

Do the classic nintendo style shells fit on the charging grip?

Accepted Answer

I have the wood grain shells, but yes they fit. There is absolutely no difference in the shape or size of the shells as far as I can tell.

Question 3

On my son's switch, the trigger stoppe working on one of the joy cons. Will using these shells help that problem without having to buy completely new?

Accepted Answer

If the issue is a simple mechanical problem with the trigger or the spring resetting the trigger then it is possible that opening it up may help to fix the problem. At the very least it may reveal some kind of debris or obstruction that can be cleaned/removed to help fix it. In truth, you do not necessarily need this set in order to open it up and take a look. If I recall correctly, the set comes with new buttons, but you re-use the springs in the controller, but it's been a while since I swapped my controller shells so I can't recall at the moment.

However, if the issue is with the connection on the motherboard from that specific input, it becomes a bit more complicated to fix with the potential need to find replacement parts and/or perform minor soldering work. At which point it may be more practical to purchase a new joy-con altogether.

As for these shells, they are a wonderful product in terms of aesthetics, texture, and performance. There may be minor flaws in shape and fit, but they are hardly noticeable once installed. The greatest bonus is the experience of opening up the controller and seeing how it all works together. The videos are a HUGE help.

I would say that if you are willling to give it a shot, try investing in a mini screwdriver set and WATCHING Extremerate's videos on the joy-con shell replacement. You will be able to see how everything SHOULD look. If you open up the controller and find something wrong, you may be able to determine what is causing the button to fail. If you feel that this may be too much effort, I would say that you are better off buying a new joy-con than dealing with the process of opening up the controller. It is NOT a process that should be rushed, and deserves great level of attention to detail. I hope this helps you come to the best decision for your situation. But I would say even if you do end up getting a new joy-con, consider getting these shells to spruce them up a bit. And on a side note, I believe that they do sell the joy-cons for individual sides instead of buying both joy-cons.

Question 4

This is unrelated to the Joy con shells, but are you guys planning to make shells for the pro controller for switch?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Pro controller shell is expected to be released in May 2019, please stay tuned.
