    100%. I was going to buy a brand new OLED model, but instead bought a used Switch Lite in mint condition for $100. Money saved for the next Switch. Extended thumb grips really helped me play games better on the Lite.

      I just purchased the Switch Lite but used,got mine for about $117 vs the prices that locals here where I live overprice it from $180-$300. I did want to get the Oled but decided to wait for a new switch model like the switch,as long as I can play Splatoon and Super Smash,then I’m all good. Can’t wait for my used Switch lite to arrive.

    I'm super happy with my Nintendo Switch Lite. It was the right option for me. You made me check the compatibility with Amiibo, but I just gotta get me a pair of joycons (soon, soon).
    The things I love the most: the color (Turquoise), the size and weight, the screen (even though the subtitles of some games might be a little difficult to read), the battery (my average playtime is 3 to 4 hours on a charge), the Bluetooth connectivity for earphones. No joystick drift (so far). The compatibility with PD Powerbanks (USB-C to USB-C charging). Oh, of course, the actual D-pad and no creackling from moving parts of the Joycons.
    The things I don't love the most: it needs a case (and joystick protectors, screen protector and carrying case, too) the audio is terribly low (maybe because the speakers are facing back?), the physical versions need a big download file (so the games occupy both the cartridge and SD card), he placement of the Minus button (at least for me, it's super hard to pres without touching the joystick. The bulky charger is a turnoff (but I love the console doesn't heat up when charging). No vibration 😭
    If you love the design or the colors, don't hesitate and get it. I you can afford a regular version, go for that. But If you still love the looks over the extra functionality, get this one as it is amazing 😍

    Ive had an oled and a lite. Sold my lite awhile back to get the oled but today I have rebought the lite. The oled screen is RLY nice I cannot deny. But I dont get much use out of it anyway considering how uncomfortable I find it to play on the oled for anything longer than 30 minutes. I much prefer the lite for the comfort of handheld play and will use my oled for docked play 🙂

      Agreed, I saw the OLED on display at Target and the display was extremely nice and tempting. But I prefer the size, build, and design overall of the Lite. If it was able to be docked and maybe had an OLED display, the Switch lite would be the perfect handheld, it's still great regardless

    Love the Lite.its the best handheld out imo. Perfect form factor and just the right screen size. And while it doesn't have the power of a Steam Deck for example, the games are all optimized for it. So not the highs that a Deck can get you, but the games won't crash or have to wonder If the game is compatible.

      I have both, 99% of games work on Deck, then you can also use other launchers, do cloud gaming, remote play, emulation, etc and about 90% of games on Steam I would guess are optimised, on the other hand the Switch Lite is more portable and cheaper, that's about it

    I've been thinking about replacing my Day 1 OG Switch with a Switch Lite recently. I want to play more Handheld, but the normal Switch just feels "off" when holding. Too heavy and too wiggly with the Joycons, I never really felt that comfortable. I even bought a grip, but that just makes it worse xD After watching too many reviews, I think this would be a great investment. My old Switch is still in good condition, so I should be able to sell it for a Lite model :)

      Don’t sell it, but if you do, sell it for a fairly high price, around $200-$250. OG v1 switch made before 2018 are easily hackable and is a good way to dump all your switch games to emulate on pc with a higher resolution/frames

      I have no problem with the weight of the OG NSW model, so I wonder if the ones that do have a problem are teens because I often saw similar comments with the OG PS Vita model and to me it feels good while the second PS Vita version feels more cheap because of how light it is lol, but it looks great. So I'm guessing those that feel/complain about the weight of the OG NSW model shouldn't bother with a Steam Deck since it weights more.

    Really torn between this and the OLED. I plan to mostly play in handheld but the better battery life and screen of the OLED has me thinking that + grip. Lite is cheaper but is that £100 ish extra worth it for the better experience and general more functionality if I want it. I doubt I’d dock it much as I have a ps5 and I’ll play that at home, this is more for when out of house but I do like the idea of tabletop mode and playing with a controller, or using two joycons so I friend can play Mario kart or something with.

      If you have the money I'd say go for the oled. You can just set the dock up and use it as a charging station, by the off-chance that you want a bigger screen you can just dock it and swap input on your tv. I was gonna get the switch lite as well, but my dad convinced me to get the normal switch instead (oled wasn't out yet), and I'm using the docking feature a lot more than I thought. I wasn't planning on using it at all initially.

    All three were bought from OfferUp. Third time is definitely a charm. The only reason I sold my first one was the left analog stick no longer could turn right after 7 months. Then I sold the coral (pink) one after only 2 days because I didn't like the color and wanted turquoise back.
    I net profited $70 on my two previous Lites. So I really only spent $30 on my third Lite. All three looked brand new but this current one I have definitely feels the most new. Has this anti-glare, smudge-resistant screen protector that makes the display look clear all the time.
    Get Switch Lites on OfferUp if you're living in America. They go for $100 or less a lot. Prices will eventually go up. The 3DS is weaker hardware and goes for $150-$200 minimum. Same with the Vita. But I don't plan to ever sell my current Lite.
    I can't stand the weight and width of the regular Switch and OLED. And I don't own a TV any way. I haven't gamed on a TV since 2019 with my PS4 slim. Now to prevent having my sticks wearing out fast like my first one, I pair my SN30 Pro and will try to do that at least 90% of the time.
    If the analog sticks do break, I'll get them replaced with hall effect sensors. The GuliKit ones go for $25 from Amazon. I'll be more cautious this time knowing drift is a widespread problem. But I may get so used to using the SN30 Pro for the Lite, it may not matter any more.
    Still waiting for my case which can create a kickstand so I can play Switch Lite in tabletop. I was worried with input lag but my SN30 Pro which I bought 2 years ago that looks like the SNES controller (same colors) works like a dream and I get rumble which the Lite can't do.
    Stupid me. I didn't know how to pair my Bluetooth controller to my Switch Lite until last night! I could've prevented having the first one go out like that. Lesson learned. This now makes me open to the idea of getting a Steam Deck mainly because I'll likely play it with a BT controller most of the time and won't mind the large size.
    I can do the same for the Switch OLED which offers longer battery life but I just prefer the rounded sides of the Lite. The regular and OLED are slightly more angular. And what if the SN30 Pro battery needs to charge or I lose it? I'd rather use the Lite over the OLED. It's 150g lighter.
    Paying $100 or less for the Lite instead of double to triple for the OLED is beneficial. I don't get why people diss the Lite so much? It's my absolute favorite form factor of the Switch and it's also the cheapest entry into the Switch library. It's like the iPhone SE and mini of the Switch.
    I also own a modded PS Vita 2K for over 6 years and I love it. I love it more than my Switch Lite. It's my favorite handheld ever. I'm more of a PlayStation guy than Nintendo guy. Just added the nude patch for Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3: Venus and I'm having a blast! It's a great lesbian dating sim! 😂
    I'll be getting a Steam Deck but I'll wait if I can find the 64 GB one for $200 on OfferUp. Maybe $250 will be the max I'll spend on it. My Vita 2K and Switch Lite were bought second-hand and I want to spend as little as possible on anything gaming-related. I'm talking over half the retail price for them.
    I'll buy most smartphones brand new, but with handhelds, I don't mind used as long as the condition is fantastic. And you can find a lot in pristine condition since most of these OfferUp sellers are in their 30s and 40s and no longer have time to game. Or perhaps their children don't use them any more.
    They're just video games! Why spend a fortune? Some get hacked and you don't have to spend another cent for a game. My Vita was used and I got it for $100 off Craigslist. Battery health is still over 90% after 6 years. Although I didn't really use it much. I've been using it a lot more this year since modding it last January.
    The ROG Ally with Z1 Extreme is much more powerful than the Steam Deck but I frankly hate Asus and Windows. I've only had bad experiences with Asus products. Seeing only 30 fps doesn't bother me at all. Switch is already considered weak ass with an SoC from 2015 and I'm still loving the graphics like the AC4: Black Flag port.
    I'm not into Chinese retro handhelds. I recently bought the Data Frog SF2000 for $20 and the damn thing stopped working after 30 minutes of gameplay. Junk! Did get a refund. My smartphones and modded Vita can cover retro games. I'll stick to reliable and reputable companies like Sony, Nintendo, and Valve.

    I have been toying with the idea of a switch lite for a while, my wife has an old 3DS and with xmas coming up wanted to get her a switch/switch lite but, im kinda torn between the two. she does use the 3ds just sat on the sofa with the TV on, but i`m not entirely sure if she wouldnt go for something like the switch where she can play on the TV.
    another angle is I think is multiplayer we would probably play multiplayer how is this on the switch lite?

    I bought one last yeard (a used one) and the only thing I did was to change the left stick because the last user droped something on it and I didn't work properly (when going to the right it instantly go to the center so it wasn't possible to calibrate). Since then i have been playing games that really use the stick and could cause drifting (all Doom games, all RE game, Bioshock and Borderlands, BOTW) and both still work well, maybe one of these days maybe i get drift but after playing all of those games all i can say is that it was worth it since the portability and comfortable holding that the Switch Lite gives is one of my favorites since the og GBA

    I dont have any access to internet (except super slow and unsecured public wifi at starbucks). If i got a switch lite and some physical copies of single player games from gamestop, would i still be able to play without any problems at home? Or do you NEED the console updates and game patches to play consistently without crashing? Im scared of spending $200 plus $20-60 per game just to find out smash bros version 1.0 will crash every time i try to play it haha. Also, if i DID use the public wifi to download stuff, would that allow me to get the old n64 games i love so much, or do the older gen games require an online subscription to access at home? Thx for the help, folks, i appreciate it!

    for people worried about drifting, switch lite uses the same analog sticks as regular joycons, and they are easily (for trained personel) to change them, I have repaired only a few, because the switch lite has better analogs durability wise, same as newer joycons, they rarely drift unless you treat them bad, if you play gently and not 15 hours a day, they will last easily more than 4 years no drift
