The additional parts like springs and pads are a good addition since I was making a new phob controller from scratch. The dimensions are on point unlike other 3rd party shells I've purchased in the past, so I will definitely be buying more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on 4 April 2023* Pros:1. Shell feels smooth and great2. Package came quick3. Comes with various parts such as:Gray buttons, rumble holder (the back plate of the controller board), transparent button pads which are great, replacement screws (1 extra), replacement springs, and toggles. Essential the entire controller but the board itself is included in this kit.Cons:1. Had to sand one of the studs on my A button a bit so that it could slide easy. It would jam a bit when i was trying to install it. (But this is somewhat expected since this is a third party shell with third party buttons)Overall: I would give this a 4 out 5 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/490561572-extremerate-white-faceplate-backplate-for-nintendo-gamecube-controller-diy-replacement](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/490561572-extremerate-white-faceplate-backplate-for-nintendo-gamecube-controller-diy-replacement) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
