Switch Lite has been out for a minute now, how are you all liking it? For those with both models, does fit those needs well?
- Thread starter entremet
- Start date
It's a terrible handheld. The buttons are mushy and the analog sticks started drifting after 100 or so hours of Animal Crossing. I've been really turned off Nintendo's hardware this gen and it mostly is due to how incompetently they've designed all of their controllers, including the abysmal Switch Pro controller which also suffers stick drift and has an unusable dpad for puzzle games.
Those of you who are acting up about 'minute' just cuz you ain't ever heard the word used that way (even though it is... like a lot IRL...) actually sound like mildly ignorant people at best, and complete jackasses at worst, and so it might be a good idea for you to just stop talking about it. There are things that happen beyond your perspective, like slang catching on that you might not know about, would you believe it?
I have both models and prefer the lite for a number of reasons.
- I like how lite it is
- it's less bulky than the og
- my og has an issue with the left joy con randomly disconnecting
- I have no issue with the screen size
- I play 90% handheld
it is however the least ergonomic handheld I have ever had, I think it's designed for smaller hands. But I got a skull & co protective case with the changeable grips which feel awesome and I would strongly recommend.

This:
I'll start using random words from now on to give myself a tone, it sounds cool.
p.s. the joycon drifting is too big of an issue to take the Lite in consideration
My kids got one at it doesn't get used at all. My son also snapped the headphone jack off inside it so you can't use headphones. Huge waste of money.
I found myself playing the switch more as a handheld so went for it at launch but within a few days I was seeing signs of drift just like my joycons on my main switch...I was going to replace it with the idea that it might have been a one off defect but ultimately I'm glad I didn't.
It's a nice little machine though, but honestly, the vanilla switch, while not perfect, at least allows for work arounds to some of its issues. Joycon drift at least lets you remove them while they're repaired by Nintendo. Or in my case I actually use third party split pads that just habe better analogue sticks in general (hori and dobe)
If they ever release a better made lite however, I'd very likely buy one...but I would need some guarantees that drift was fixed...also if they did make an updated one I would hope enough time has passed to have the power overhead to allow for docking too.

It's not random, and has never needed to be preceded by 'hot' to gain that meaning.
If the dictionary definition is absurd given the context, then it's probably not the right one. It's not hard.
Or just don't assume everybody knows every word in the urban dictionary.
I'm here for the backlash against a very common slang saying. I'm about as much of an out of it middle aged white guy as you can get and I'm familiar with this one. Therefore as the arbiter of acceptable slang, I think this is acceptable.
Switch lite tho? No opinion. Only words.
It's common enough for NPR to have a show called "It's been a minute." Once NPR has turned a slang saying into a show title, I'd say it's officially made. :)

It's fine as my secondary system, don't play it enough anymore but I have the PS5 to blame for that. It feels cheap but it was cheap and I haven't used it enough to worry about long term issues like Joycon drift.
It was worth the purchase price to finally play Breath of the Wild though, what a game.

I wish it acted as a copy of my main switch rather than a whole different console. It's gotten a little better but nothing is designed for you to own and play on 2 different switches so it's kinda annoying to own one.
I've got a Lite for myself and a regular Switch hooked up to the TV for the kids. Much prefer the Lite. The reduced weight makes it much more comfortable to hold, the controls don't randomly lose connection with the system, and I play a lot of menu-based games so the D-Pad is nice.
