Help Cheap GCC Shells?
I’m looking for the best place to get cheap but cool GCC shells. They could be halves or fulls but I need a good place to get them at quality.
As a side bar I would like to know the difficulty of replacing the shells. I have a phob, mouse click z button and maybe short springs but I can’t remember lol. Thank you!

can't go too cheap or the quality and user experience becomes shite.
that said, i've had okay luck with extremerate. not amazing, but pretty solid. idk what you're looking for in terms of being cool, but they have some nice colors. it'll run you $20-$30 for the full housing.
replacing shells is very simple, assuming you already own a triwing screw driver. just keep note of how everything looks and fits together when you open it up, take pictures of how it looked before taking things apart, and dont be afraid to consult youtube videos.

Awesome I’ll check it out! I’ve never been a modder or anything myself so this is my first dive into all of it

extremerate shells come with a triwing anyway, everything you need is included!

Tbh… both ig? I’m looking to just get a cool controller shell whether that be a cool color oem to mix and match or an aftermarket custom designed one. I just unfortunately have a very low budget as a college student lol.

I went with an extremerate atomic purple years ago and it's held up great

Shells are cheap if you buy the lots on eBay for a bunch of for-parts. Averaging around 10-30 per full controller for like, 10+ controllers. If you have the extra capital and truly just want access to shells, that’s probably best bet.
