Review: Excellent value and performance, especially for the price. A bit frustrating to install. - These things are amazing. I wasn't expecting much, especially for the price, but while the initial installation was a bit frustrating and finnicky, I've been very happy with the final result. I had just bought my Switch when I ordered these. Their implementation of the d-pad as four separate buttons felt awful and borderline unplayable to me, so the fact that these work so well is awesome. The d-pad is the star of the show here. I went with the cross configuration and saved the circular one to use as a backup or give to a friend. Once it's on, it feels solid and natural. It feels solid and clicky, which I like. Some have mentioned that they prefer a more "mushy" feeling d-pad and if you're one of them, this might not do it for you, but if you're like me and prefer something with some click to it, you'll be very happy. The face button caps get an honorable mention as well. I expected them to be little more than cosmetic, but they actually make the buttons feel more substantial and satisfying to press. As mentioned, the only drawback is the installation. The included stickers are extremely difficult to peel properly from their backing. You're supposed to remove them from the backing, then stick them to the button faces and then lift the piece concealing the glue off. Sticking them to the buttons is easy enough, but lifting the rest of the paper off so that the little glue circle stays on the button and doesn't bunch up or slide off is extremely difficult. I had to use two pairs of tweezers to accomplish it, one to pick at the edge of the glue to make sure it came off the backing, and another to actually lift the backing off while carefully holding the glue circle down. It was a bit nerve-wracking and a wasted a few stickers in failed attempts but thankfully, they give you a pretty generous number and after I got the hang of it, I got it to work, though it was impossible to keep the glue circles from bunching up a bit on the buttons. This doesn't seemed to have stopped the caps from sticking properly though, and everything has worked well since. Another review mentioned that if you can't get the little stickers to work well, using removable wall mounting putty like you can find at OfficeMax or Staples is a great substitute, and if the initially applied stickers ever fail, I may turn to that. So far, though, this has been a fantastic purchase, and aside from the slight initial difficulty of the installation, I have nothing but good things to say. This has caused the JoyCons to go from uncomfortable to nearly ideal in handheld, especially for retro games, and I don't feel the need to run out and spend more money on a pro controller quite as urgently as I did at first.
Review: Probably the best solution for joycon d-pad - I tried many different joycon d-pad: hori-con (I dismembered it more research so there’s no pic now), replacement d-pad shell, add-pad, and d-grip. And to my surprise, the cheapest button cap works better than any of them (in my perspective) The problem this hori-con is that it’s sort of too hard, and I don’t really like it’s clicking feedback. It uses what people use on normal size controller at the size of a joycon and that makes the responses too soft. Also it don't have vibration and gyro. Replacement shell is a good solution for most 2d games, but not good enough for fighting games. As you can see in the picture, it do not have a pivot. And this makes some fighting game input hard to be done quickly. For example, if I do “2147” too fast, it would input the “4”. Another problem of this is that it’s too unfriendly toward people who’s not good at hand working The add pad... it’s just too big. Again, you can play other 2d games with it. When it comes to fighting games, the input is still good, but the pad it self hurt my thumb. I think what they could do is to make a Sega Saturn type dpad instead and that would be perfect. The d grip is actually pretty good. It even make the “-“ bigger so I can reset in training mode easier. But as you can see I applied skin to my switch. And the skin actually influence the d-grip so I must get rip of the skin if I want to use the d-grip. This button cap really surprised me. It have a pivot, it dont hurt thumb, and the skin would not influence it’s functionality. You don’t need to dismember your joy-con to add it. And most importantly, it’s the cheapest! I really can’t imagine that I spend months and bucks looking for a perfect solution and ignored this one several times because I thought a plastic like this would not work. Really good product and design.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A steal for the price, great for fighting games, just follow the instructions.
*by M***Y on January 6, 2020*

Just received the items, I bought only for the D Pads. The adhesive was simple enough to line up and put on the top and bottom D Pad on the left Joycon, once on where you want it just peel off the top. Each D pad has a black circle piece that has to be popped out and placed on the bottom middle. Then make sure the arrow on the bottom of the Dpad is pointing up. Line up the top cover of the Dpad with the top button and it should fall in place. Using each Dpad is distinct and comfortable. I tested a number of fighting games, SF 30 collection, Power Rangers, Mk11, King of Fighters series, all input was accurate and pretty seamless and it didn't matter which Dpad I used. Also used on Sonic Mania, Snipperclips (used sideways) and you can still feel each independent button click, Super Mario Bros 3 (sideways) and everything was just fine. The Dpads work well in fighters where you may slide your finger to do a fireball, or a iceball with Sub Zero. They also allow you to feel each independent button press as the original Switch Dpad has. I didn't use the colored buttons just for the fact they don't have any A, B, Y, X on them. I like anyone who uses my console to know what button is where. A slight disappointment but oh well, maybe they will start to add letters, maybe not. Overall the Dpads are great and feel solid and smooth. I am very happy with them.
