It was time to replace my joysticks, as they were drifting so I decided to give it a facelift at the same time.
A quick disclaimer for anyone considering this product: It is necessary that you have knowledge/experience with disassembling complex electronics as you will need to nearly COMPLETELY disassemble your switch lite to replace its shell. The screwdrivers needed are included but be sure to have thermal paste on hand.
My first thought when unboxing this product was: It's matte. I clearly missed "Note the shell is clear but not 100% transparent." in the product description but it definitely wasn't bad because it still looks fantastic.
My only complaint about the appearance of this shell, it has the manufacturing date indicators in two very visible spots (bottom right near joystick in image 1, top left of heatsink in image 2) and I find it slightly unsightly.
The plastic feels very good in the hands with its matte finish. The quality & precision of the shell is very good, everything closes perfectly flush and I had no difficulty seating anything at all. The package comes with two screwdrivers that I'll never use because I have a million of them, some fun classic Nintendo-style a b x y buttons that I decided not to use, screws and springs for the R and L buttons in case you lose anything. It also comes with a grey screen protector that in my case had pretty bad quality, there were two scratches already on it but I won't let that take away from the rating because I didn't buy this for a screen protector.
Overall, this product is a very solid option for your project if the colour you're looking for is in stock.
