I Took Apart The Nintendo Switch Lite...Here's What's Inside

[@SpawnWave]

The Switch Lite is a pretty cool little system. Time will tell if these Joysticks end up drifting later on. The DPAD is great though for Tetris!

[@solonepeon5805]

I know I covered the part on the OG Switch if you turn on the Joy Con with no Joy Stick you get auto drift. Is it the same thing with the Lite if you remove the Joy Sticks & see if the character or camera drifts without them?

[@mrconroy4672]

Solo Nepeon They might have improved the durability of it.

[@jmzyboy]

I have an Idea for a video. If the physical size of the battery is the same as the OG switch you should swap it out and see how long you can game on it until it dies!

[@jmzyboy]

@@NintenDub the old battery capacity is bigger in the normal switch so it should last longer.

[@Diwasho]

Can't someone just hook the sticks up to some machine that rapidly spins them non-stop for a day or two, burning through months of regular use an average gamer would put them up to in a matter of hours? We can hypothetically get the answer to the drift question now, waiting half a year or more is not ideal.

[@ct2651]

@@Diwasho nintendo is in the habitude of doing that kind of test with everything they get out, it seems that a robot is not able to simulate a human completely for this. First, human finger when you play handheld arent clean most of the time. Second, some people that didnt got the problem were using there joystick by placing their thumb on the side and not over them while moving it. (They didnt have drift even after years). If we want a robot, probably we need to talk first to someone that got the problem to make the robot act like it. That way, we will be sure.

Thank you, finally got my answer regarding possible dock video output.

[@jokerzwild00]

I'm impressed with the build quality. It feels very solid, much moreso than my old Switch. I do very much prefer the screen on the original though. I'm trying to decide if I'm keeping the Lite or giving it to my kids, I think I'll give it to them since it seems so much more sturdy and I like the bigger screen. Don't care about hdmi out, we used the old one as a handheld only anyway. This is a glorious day though no matter which one I keep, no more fighting for Switch time with my son! Now if they would only give us a decent way of handling accounts on multiple Switches. The current way fucking sucks, but I've heard that with the release of the lite they're working on a better solution.

[@REPVILE]

hey yo Im sure it feels more solid since there are no flimsy controllers docking points.

[@willmiller82]

Love the tear down vids, so interesting and much appreciated!!

[@icantbiteice]

The only reason I don’t want it is because of drift, I mean I always buy joycons since I prefer those but with my OG switch I can get new joycons or use a pro controller with a tv, if I’m going to use a normal controller I want it to be big, if I’m holding the switch with joycons then I get to move the switch if I want to get a closer look and if I have a controller I can get a bigger screen to make up for the lack of not being able to move it, I’d be fine if it didn’t drift but this thing will definitely be drifting like my OG joycons soon.

[@dreamsdeep1076]

WOOD MINER hori joycons are best

[@zaraguth]

I love the vanilla Switch more because of the docking ability and the split joycon share / table top mode / motion control. The original is really something special. Will I get this for my niece? Yes (IF it doesn't drift)

[@Itzsfo0]

i have an original system, and I have a Xbox One X (GOW 5 edition, first time owning a x1) and PS4 Pro as well as N2DS XL. and last gen (360 and Wii U) systems...and Phone (Galaxy) and desktop PC (Asus All-in-one, 2016 model) among others...including somewhere a Vita Slim collecting dust lol. So at this point I've owned the "OG" (original) Red/blue bundled switch. for about 2 years...and thing is 1) I never cared about IR/HD rumble (hell even during the 4-5th gen of consoles w/ the N64) era...late 90s/early 2000s - I never cared about the rumble pak then (before HD rumble, when it was just....rumble lol) 2) I dont care about the dock (my dock literally sits in a drawer with my X360 and Wii U unhooked collecting dust) no point to sell it, but also no point in using it...as 99% of my gaming on the Switch is indies and platformers (both AAA and indies) and the occasional first party nintendo exclusive (Octopath, Xenoblade, you know Breath of the Wild, etc) ...only BOTW = was the only game that so far I've used the DOCK/TV play for...and even then (220 hours of play) I only put...maybe 100 hours on the dock/TV play (using the default HDMI that comes w/ the system). But all the rest of my gaming...indie, including Binding of isaac (over 1,300 hours lol) among others....i play table-top + Hori table-top stand + the smash bros pro controller (which is like the xenoblade pro controller has the central pivot added underneath the d-pad, to make it a proper dpad, not that I care, cause I dont use d-pad that much, but its nice to have). I used handheld first 9-10 months of owning system...2017 into 2018...then by end of 2018 when the Super Smash Bros Ultimate launched in december along w/ the new pro controller, I got my hands on a copy, and I went straight table-top ever since. and the system sits under my TV (on the TV stand) but only 1 foot from my bed, so I can literally rise out of bed, grab pro controller, push the SLEEP/HOME button andturn system on, and it has the AC adapter plugged directly into system...the dock & HDMI sit in a drawer collecting dust (alongside my last gen X360 and Wii U also unhooked and collecting dust). So basically the switch is a table-top-exclusive-indie-gaming-device. I dont worry about battery life, and/or kick stand (cause it stays on the table-top) and its only 1 foot from my face when I'm sitting upright in bed...I can sit in bed, and game in table-top mode w/ pro controller so its easy... I do however (after owning the system for nearly 2 years) and I have a few other accessories outside of the HORI table top stand and PRo controller, the only other 2 accessories I have are: 200GB Micro SD (SanDisk) which I haven't even begun to fill it up, so memory isn't an issue either)....and lastly I got well its not an accessory its just the NSO (Nintendo Switch Online Service) ...and I didnt get it for the vintage games, I got it solely for the Cloud storage. which I think should have been free, but oh well. $20 isnt much. SO I want a second / cheaper / bang around system that is solely a handheld (for short-travel) here n there (which I do quite often)...I may be the RARITY here, the small % of those who have an OG switch and STILL want the Lite...but I have my reasons...and its not related to "children" whatsoever. I realize thats prob the main reason for owning it...that makes sense...but for me, having a back-up system that you know...is cheaper, bang-around, don't have to baby it "as much" ( still gonna take care of it naturally ) but...the fear of it getting scuffed ...well you know not as big of a deal And its nice that the SATISFYE company (my nephew has the Pro gaming grip along w/ the carrying case) he got last christmas for his regular switch) and they have already unrolled/unveiled a PRO LITE Grip along with a carrying case for the Switch Lite. and its not much $...so its like...I can get the Lite, and now a grip (which will make it an even MORE proper handheld) and a carrying case.... I know the Switch revision (the one w/ the red box-art) has a longer battery life then BOTH the OG switch and Switch lite, I get that...but again - I'm not going on 7-9 hour road trips every week...but I am using a handheld a few times per month, for a few hours (2-3 here, 2-3 there) and the Lite = being a lighter weight, single-body, design...with a PROPER d-pad, and now a Satisfye gaming grip + bundled carrying case (and I've felt/used the original before...so I know what I'm getting into) I dont care about the in-ear-buds, and the shitty thumb-stick attachments, I only want the Pro Grip (the main unit) and the pro carrying case...thats it. And as for the $ aspect...well people are talking about $200 + tax (which here in maryland is 6%) so basically it would be out of store a total of = $211.99 with tax. Well I have 2 gift cards from my birthday (I turned 36 back in March...) and at my age, you don't get fancy gifts, or ...any gifts lol you get a card, with some plastic in it lol which is fine, Visa Gold Pre-paid gift cards...and being...I didn't want anything back in March/April/May and I owned basically all the hardware/software I wanted...and nothing else in my life I could think of...I just held onto both cards (1 is worth $75 even, and the other 2nd card is worth $25 even) neither have been used. So I can walk into a Gamestop, or Best Buy, Target, Walmart Super Center, or the local ma&pa retailer "Gamerz Paradise" (they are a local 1-store retailer only...they are inside an Amish Market, which has numerous vendors/stores) Gamerz Paradise is one of them. they buy/sell/trade games (discs, cartridges, mini discs, any system you can think of going back to the original Atari 2600 to present day Xbox One and PS4 and N. Switch. Not to mention PC physical (from past games) and figures/toys related to gaming and a pokemon TCG (card) selection. Basically anything hobbyist/gaming related. So...I can use these cards anywhere....so $211 (tax included) you might as well knock $100 off the top...your looking at me walking out of the (whatever store) having only paid ALITTLE more then $100 for the system (to be exact basically $111) lol...thats less then the New 2DS XL costs even. I realize not everyone has a gift card or multiple cards ready and waiting, most people dont, but this is why I say..for me...my reasons...its an easy choice. New lighter weight system w/ proper d-pad, and what I'm hearing is "more durable feeling...since its a single body...feels quite nice, and surprising....and even the screen could possibly be a few "nits" brighter (peak brightness) ...mostly everything is the same, minus slight increase to battery life ..which isn't much but STILL...these are minor changes and upgrades..and for what ? a system I can buy for UNDER $150 w/ my gift cards ...$110 - $111 w/ tax for a new system...thats an easy pill to swallow. And of course, something (god forbid, but eventually it does happen to most devices) they brick...my Switch OG is already 2 (almost) years old...another year, another 2 years...a few more thousand hours (possibly) ....who is to say It wont happen anytime...and I take care of it (its never been dropped, or in extreme weather conditions) but still...you just never know...so it would be kinda cool to have something as a backup be it 1 year, or 2 years or whatever...of course the only issue / stick in my plans...(spokes) ...is if Nintendo unveils / announces in (sometime 2020) a "Switch XL Pro" or "Switch XL" variant of some sort....lol I can see it now....eh...but then I would prob just sell my OG switch, get whatever I can back from that...and IF its worth it, then I'll get the new[er] switch. Thats all, quite simple. But I can completely understand someone not wanting the Lite, or having 0 interest..esp if they already own a version of the system (the OG switch or the recent revision/red boxed system) thats fine, no hate here - not trying to convince anyone or anything. I just think the Lite may have more then "1" reason to buy, thats all

I watch your channel usually 2x a day and I have been eagerly awaiting your Switch Lite video for probably 2 weeks now.

[@thewoosp2782]

This week my left analogue stick gave up, makes like a small clicking sound. 10 months they lasted. I now have one set of fully functioning joy con. One set has drift on the left and broke shoulder button on the right. Dogshit.

[@chan13153]

Send them in to nintendo. Repairs if ur in US wont cost you anything.

[@jessiem9960]

It's a crapping thing Nintendo did. They should have made new and improved joycons a long time ago (I heard they have new colors, not sure if they changed the analog stick on those though) and set the switch lite to a later date to fix that also. They ignored the issue so long to the point they were sued. My 3ds lasted years before I sold it and it was still in great condition. I want a switch/lite but want to invest in something I know will actually last. They went downhill on those joycons and now possibly the lite. So disappointed.😓

[@thewoosp2782]

First joy con drift issue got fixed in UK no worries (right analogue). Moved to Indonesia for work, dropped switch and broke shoulder button. Went to Singapore and bought a set of red joy con. Red were later release, thought I dodged the drift batch. Bummed.

That was awesome. Love your teardown videos dude. I really wish they had a solution to the joycon drifting issue apart from replacing the module.

[@MrZozue]

So it's another "Tokyo Drift" version, but you cannot replace joycons this time. You have to discard the whole system. Nice.

[@mr.aizawa5257]

You watched the video, right? You saw him take out the sticks semi-easily, right? You do know the sticks cost less than 10 bucks on ebay, RIGHT? Why would you say you would have to get a whole new system? Even if you did, because you weren't confident enough to fix it yourself, nintendo covers it under warranty! Think before you say something stupid.

[@MadOrange644]

kickbeez it’ll take a few months before the first case of the Lite drifting, Nintendo will deny the shit out of the problem and slowly update the future Switch Lites and joycons. If anyone wants a Switch I recommend getting the regular version because the joycons are easy to replace or fix.

[@lukealexander3639]

I've had mine for two days, already drifting. Didn't know about the issue before hand. I won the lottery

[@doclouis4236]

Let's just keep suing Nintendo until they fully address the problem and not just tip toe around it by giving free joy con fixes that only replace the stick with the same kind as before. This needs to be completely fixed with more quality durable materials to be used. This is like the red ring of death but for a controller that comes with the console and with a handheld version.

[@sayftaleb6020]

[@damarlboromans]

Thank you for this video you saved me 199 dollars it's a no buy for me I thought they would be smart enough not to use the same parts in the joy-cons.

[@The.JZA.]

I've seen a lot of people being perplexed by the chamber that the speaker sits in. The chamber and channel/tube that is connected to the speaker is called and transmission line and it acts as a ported box which allows the manufacturer to tune the sound based on the volume and length of the chamber. The sound waves resonate in the tube and based on the length of the tube you can tune it to perform better at certain frequecies and smooth out the sound signature. If you google image search "Transmission Line speaker" youll see lots of images of speaker boxes with similar squiggly ports leading from the speaker to the outside. You could do the same thing with a long straight tube but then it would be a very big assembly so the "tube" is "folded" on itself to make it easier to package.
