    I had a Switch Lite before trading it for a regular Switch. Honestly if the Switch Lite could be docked it would simply be perfect, it's simply the BEST handheld experience I've ever had. The buttons feel amazing and premium, the screen looks sharp and the console is super light. I love being able to detach Joy-Cons, dock it to the TV and being able to customize my Switch with any accessory I want, but my God I don't think the regular Switch can ever mimic how good the Lite feels in handheld mode

    Switch Lite is really the 2DS of the Switch family, and Nintendo exactly knew who its made for with its unibody durable form factor and cute color options. Plus its an option if you have multiple kids in a family and 200$ is an easier price to swallow for Christmas gift purposes for the average parents. Recent sale statistics did showed that its mostly women and kids that owned a Switch Lite, so its great to have more people that can enjoy their games on the Switch that they wouldn't otherwise with the regular Switch! I may not daily drive a Lite, but my siblings does and its always good to have options like this for kids, casual gamers or just anyone who prefers something more portable.

    I really like my switch lite, the only problem is that when you play some games that are a little more graphically intense or more detailed, the screen feels a bit too small. Throughout my playthrough of Luigi’s mansion 3, I spent half the time squinting at the screen with my face several inches away. 2d games like stardew and Celeste are fantastic on it though. Makes me wish there was a just a unibody form factor with the specs of the oled.

    I wish the lite had already been released when I bought my switch, I absolutely would have chosen it over the normal switch for the exact reasons you named here! I rarely play in docked mode anyway and regularly turn off the rumble function because I think it is uncomfortable in many games, so missing either of those would not have been a great loss for me, and lower price and higher durability would have been more important to me personally! Glad to see someone seriously talking about the lite as more than just a "switch for kids"!

  • @kuribo2305

    I'm currently looking for a Switch after 6 years of wanting one. Honestly, the only thing that truly stops me from buying a lite is joycon drift-- if not for that issue I would've bought it in a heartbeat as I (honestly) do not mind the inability to dock to a bigger screen. I'm saying this as a student because repairs can be expensive in my country (Nintendo does not have a presence where I live, so sending it to them would be such a huge hassle). I would rather shell out the additional cash for peace of mind, even if I would never use docked mode.
    That being said, I really appreciate Nintendo for making a lighter and cheaper alternative, making switch gaming accessible to a wider range of people! I just wish the build quality of the joycons were better or improved upon in later models especially after all the backlash these past few years. I hope Nintendo's next gen console takes note!

      About the drift, there are plenty of tutorials on how to replace sticks on both, regular Switch & Lite. It might be a cultural thing or fear of tinkering with our own consoles is somewhat spread around. It's really hard to mess up while following guides, just be careful with ribbon cables. Personally I've even replaced my 3DS shell, buttons, bottom screen and digitizer too.

    I prefer the feel of the Switch Lite by a wide margin, but some of the best games on the Switch platform are Wii U ports that are intended to be played on a TV-sized screen. When shrunk down to the Lite's small screen, certain details can become impossible to see. Wanting to play Breath of the Wild, but struggling to see certain attacks and projectiles led me to get a standard Switch.
    What I learned from having both was, with a Nintendo Online account, your save data is saved and synchronized online, so no matter which device you grab, you can pick up from your last save. I've now upgraded to a Switch OLED, but the usage is still the same: if I'm gaming on the go, it's with the Switch Lite. If I'm going to hang out with a friend at his home, I will take the OLED, but otherwise it lives in the dock.
    So which Switch should you buy? I think the best answer is: both.

      That's interesting cause I basically played breath of the wild solely in handheld mode and it really felt perfect for it but I didn't enjoy it as much when I switched to dock mode as it look a bit too blurry for my liking. Might also have to do with using headphones while playing in handheld, it also felt more immerse to a degree. I was just addicted to breath of the wild when I played it through summer 2019 and played it in bed till I started getting tired.

    I just bought my third Switch Lite today. Sold the first one in turquoise for $110 after getting it for $90. Then sold a coral one earlier today for $120 after getting it only for $70 like 2 days ago.
    That's a $70 net profit. Used it to get a second turquoise Lite an hour after selling that coral and it's in flawless condition like the previous two. I really only spent $30 on it if I deduct the $70 net profit from selling the other two.
    I was going to buy a regular Switch on 4th of July but hated the weight of it. I'll only stick to Lites for now on. Only reason why I sold my first one after 7 months owning it was the analog stick would no longer turn right.
    If the analog stick gets bad again playing hours of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I'll get the hall effect sensor parts from Amazon and get them replaced from a repair shop. I'll also buy a compatible wireless Bluetooth controller for it..
    For my needs, Switch Lite is the perfect form factor. I don't want anything larger than this. Switch Lite is as large and heavy as I want to go. It's perfect next to my black, modded Vita 2000. This also means no Steam Deck for me. I can't tolerate carrying large handhelds.

      As someone who has a ps5 I actually prefer a Lite, the Switches aging hardware blown up on a big TV will look muddy over time. Although Nintendo 1st party usually gets around this with excellent aesthetics and art direction the switches limited power just looks more appropriate on a smaller screen.

It's also good for trading pokemon to myself and shit, I am probably going to get one tbh

    The Switch Lite would be better if it had the option to charge wirelessly similarly to most recent smartphones. If they made another revision with it included, then that would be great to have!

What i think they should done was stretched out the screen like they did and had brighter screen like th oled. Also shape it a better where felt better in grips. I didint mind you couldnt dock it an dplay on screen, as it was supposed to be handheld. Shame nintendo didint try making Nintendo switch lite pro or switch lite oled.

      OLED is suppose to feel "premium" by customer. If Lite would be oled then why regular one is lcd? If there is no lcd switch model left in offer then nintendo can`t charge ton of money for "premium" oled version because it would be standard nowadays. Oled is almost everywhere, only low-end phones are getting lcd now.

    I've had my switch lite since they launched. It has been so good to me! I never have had the joystick issue and mine is one of the first generation. I think people were honestly just treating the switch lite like trash and setting it down face first, or dropping it onto the sticks. I have played lots of "joystick heavy" games and i get no drift.
    The battery is not bad at all, i dont play on full brightness because the screen is so bright anyway! You dont need it on full brightness even outside in the sun.
    It is perfect for games that are remasters of gamecube or older games. I really enjoy the ty the tasmanian tiger series and its perfect on the switch lite. Skyrim, Stardew Valley, are other amazing portable options. Even Green Hell, a survival game, looks and runs decent with 30fps and lower resolution.
    Im a gamer of all sorts. Pc, console, emulators, etc, i would recommend a switch lite to anybody looking for a "lazy" gamer day. You just wanna curl up on the couch/bed and have some snacks and play whatever game, even at a friend's house because its fully portable.
    One of my only complaints is that the shell of the switch is so flat that my hand can cramp if im laying down and holding it, but a case with some grip or the little handles on the side like a controller fixes that problem %100.

    I love the lite. It's so lightweight, portable, and solid. You can hold it with one hand by the sides without damaging the joycon rails, because there are none. The screen is small and dense. It has a d-pad and it's great, even though comments on the internet say otherwise, which is not true, at least for the revision I use. In other words, it feels like a true handheld, honoring the value proposition of the GB, GBA, DS, and 3DS.

    A couple more selling points ... The switch lite doesnt have the asemetric color design of the switch. You can get it in really pleasing colors without a high price point. And although it doesnt plug into the tv, this actually makes charging a bit easier.... Since i dont haveto dock it to charge, i cant literally go anywhere with it and use my phone cable to charge.

    I got both lite and OLED models. And I actually use the lite model far more frequently than the OLED one! Never regretted having both of them.
    But to be honest, which model to pick is largely depends on what kind of game you usually play if you want to have the best experience.
    I usually play games which you don’t have much expectation on the picture quality or a relaxed style game (such as Animal Crossing, Story of Seasons etc) on lite.
    3A games such as Zelda undoubtedly have to be played on OLED.

I reverted back to standard model. Sure it's not as portable and the joycon place is somewhat wobbly but with my Switch Lites having issues, I'll just use the standard switch.

    Honestly, if you have the money then it would be beneficial to have both the Lite and the Full Switch. You can use the full one for a more complete console experience that others can easily join in on, and use the Lite to have the mobility and all the unique benefits of a smaller, lighter and more complete handheld. It’s a costly investment though, and unless you’ve got a lot of extra money to spare then it might not be worth it. You could ask your family to pitch in for some of the cost, but then you’d have to convince them to make the investment since they might not initially see the purpose to it. Either way, it’s up to you if you want to do it. Personally I don’t have the money to do so and want to invest in other things instead, but if you do then you may reap some benefits from it.

I'm a girl with little hands and while the switch lite fits my hands and fits in my mini backpack very well. The OLEDs bigger and better screen + tabletop mode is awesome to have. I always switch between the 2 because the handheld experience is really good on the lite but then I miss the big screen of the OLED.

    Imo, it's the best option. I have all 3 models and if we are talking about portability, bang for buck, form factor and usability, it's the Lite for me. Imo, the Oled can sometimes add too much color and the draw distance isn't as good on it compared to the Lite. It also cramps my hands over extended play times. Most games that you want to play on an oled, you might as well play on an oled TV if you already have one. Imo, an oled switch lite would be the GOAT handheld
