OLED Switch Lite display kits to go on sale September 26th

bryceshaw06 · Wednesday at 10:14 PM

The price seems very fair considering everything that is offered and the R&D of making something like this. I may have to pick up a kit.

Come on, man... Be serious. By the price you can get a Lite and this... thing, you can get an OLED outright.

This can only be justified when your screen is broken, and even there, I'd look at Aliexpress first.

I'd be surprised if there's any discernable demand for it.

What benefit does the OLED have anymore after this besides being much bigger? If you want to lug that around then go for it but some people prefer portability and the Lite feels a lot more comfortable in some people's hands.

pay $109 for the mega kit than throw your money down the drain once you get drift (and the lite does) because tendo will not fix a modded switch!

If you know how to replace the screen, you likely also know how to fix the drift, or at least how to temporarily address it every year or so when the problem arises.

never upgraded a tv or monitor before? plus, I'm sure you can sell your screen on ebay for a little bit.

the point is this makes the lite much more desirable to play on. you should look at the comparisons.

People on here sure LOVE to complain about niche products they refuse to understand the niche usecase and are clearly not the market for

oh shoot, no PayPal as payment method..?

I've been waiting for this. Still need to find someone who can repair my Lite though...

Taki previously said the standard bezel colours would be available but it's currently just black or white (or just black, in the case of the preinstalled version), and my Switch Lite is yellow, so I'll have to wait for them to sell a yellow version. I could change the colour but I quite like the yellow as-is.
EDIT: They're still coming, it's on his Twitter: https://x.com/TakiUdon_/status/1835254309598203909

Honestly, the Switch Lite is a much nicer handheld (non-existent ergonomics aside, so I had to get a grip for it) than the regular Switch, and the Switch OLED looks like hell to mod, so I think this is a nice additional extra.

Also, it's worth adding that Taki previously said on Twitter that every OLED screen will come with a pair of hall effect sticks. I assume this remains true since that was only a month or two ago.

I think only the mega kit got the stick, at least that's what listed on the product page. I pre-ordered the mega kit and got a switch lite with a broken screen for cheap. I'm expecting to receive it by December. Hope it pushes through.

Yeah, that seems to be the case, but he originally said that all of them would come with the sticks, so maybe that's something to ask him about.
He did say they're planning to have these available indefinitely, so I'm in no rush to pre-order. Hopefully we get a preview of how the HDMI mod works soon. It says no shell modification necessary, so I'm wondering if they've managed to tie it into the USB-C port somehow. I doubt it'll be possible but if they've found a way to even make it dockable (granted, it still won't physically fit in the official dock), that'd be amazing.

@TankedThomas they have all colors if you choose the standard non touch version

Nephiel · 2024-09-27T11:39:19+0100

If I had to choose, I'd rather have a working touchscreen over a color-matching bezel.
On the Hyrule edition, a black bezel shouldn't look too bad, since all buttons and sticks are also black.

Yes but I want the touch version, and those are still coming. I'm fine waiting anyway.
I linked Taki's tweet above where he mentions this.

I'd probably buy one for the og model if it were made available

actually same, i thought they weren't coming, I'll wait it out then, id prefer to get one with touch function as well,

I'm assuming the golden color version is for the Zelda Hyrule edition right??

lightautodark · 2024-09-27T16:06:09+0100

Looks like he u-turned on more color for touch.

Or simply wait for the new Switch 2 whether it's vaporware or not.

Losing function doesn't feel great even though you're not gonna use it much
