According to new documents the company filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Monday, Nintendo has a new version of the Switch Lite on the way. The new model has been given the FCC identification number BKEHDH002 – the earlier model was submitted with the ID number BKEHDH001.

jesus, this is a megaton.

edit: to be clear, this seemingly implies that a replacement joystick part has been or is being sourced

Are they gonna recall current shipments?

 

[Tunesmith]

No

That's the Lite Devkit.

But Nintendo of Europe told us there wasn't a problem with Joycon drift.

Dear Customers who bought a launch unit,

Get fucked.

Hopefully while they're fixing the analog sticks they also fix their broken dpads on the Lite and the Switch Pro controllers

Why would a different Joy-Con analog stick casing/contact need a new FCC filing? It thought it needed to be something more substantial than that. I suspect this is totally unrelated to that issue.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

The filing has nothing related to changes made to JoyCon. Is it normal or something else entirely?

It's not entirely clear what's new or different with the updated model of the Switch Lite. We've combed through the documents submitted to the FCC, but most are the same as the previous version.

So basically it's not clear if this has anything to do with JoyCon drift. Clickbait headline.

This needs to be broadcast to every news outlet falsely reporting otherwise.

Thread's done.

Don't worry though, plenty of shitposts to be had.

the lite gets its own devkit? and it's designated as model 2?

edit: saw your edit, tonight I dine on crow

 

[Deleted member 42484]

I knew holding off on buying the lite or new joy cons was the right call.

Nice job spreading bullshit OP.

Your article doesn't even make the connection, amid/=due

Edit:Lol title changed lightning fast

 

[MarcelRguez]

Non-news

It does not. The article explicitly states they have no knowledge whatsoever of differences in the new model submitted to the FCC.

 

[Geobros]

Wow!!!! This is huge news!! :o

 

[Dekuman]

The article doesn't say anything and they don't know anything outside of a model number change.

 

[Hoa]

This should end the topics we have every other week about whether the joycon drift problem is being overblown or not.

Should have been dealt with before the Lite was pushed out. At least it is being addressed now hopefully. Edit: Oh it's not even known if the new model is for the drift issue, just that a new model has been filed.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Sounds like a devkit, not a model recall.

At the very least devs could use to see how tiny and illegible their fonts are.

 

[Ozzie]

Ah damn it, can a mod change the title or perhaps close it since I misunderstood?

 

[Nanashrew]

It's a tales from the ass article.

Aaaand we're done here

 

[LebGuns]

To be fair, the link doesn't mention at all that this new model is specifically to address a prevalence in Switch lite joycon drift: that is pure speculation.

However, if that is true, and switch lite joycon drift is frequent and prevalent, this is now at the extent of the whole RRoD (and maybe even surpasses it). We'll probably call this "Driftgate" in the future.

 

[MegaXZero]

No
