So the Hori D-pad is just straight up better than the Lite one?
This doesn't sound good at all.
The Hori d-pad joy-con is totally underrated. It's an essential accessory IMO.

Nintendo doesn't need superfans defending their shitty quality control. Letting other users know what to watch out for isn't silly. It's called being helpful.It is really silly watching people talking about 'lotteries'. The first batch of everything is bound to have some lemons. It's like you're new to this shit. Calm down.
One thing is being helpful and other being an alarmist, which is the vibe I'm getting from a lot of posters.Nintendo doesn't need superfans defending their shitty quality control. Letting other users know what to watch out for isn't silly. It's called being helpful.
Really nice. could you tell us how's your dpad and speaker working? Thanks!

My apologies if you just want to help, but concern trolling is a true problem in this forum.
Target only requires you have everything that was included. They don't stop exchanges or refunds. I'd return it and order another for in store pickup. This week they're giving 10 dollar gift cards if you do that on orders over 100 dollars.Going to head to Target for an exchange. Have all the packaging + receipt. Should I anticipate any trouble? Gamestop was like pulling teeth to return my revised Switch.
What's consistent across all Lites I've used is that when in use or charging, it's always noticeably warm.
There's good news on the thermal side too. A smaller device running the same processor at the same clocks as a larger equivalent - the new HAC-001(-01) model - is more likely to retain heat. However, the Switch Lite pulls off a neat trick: while the vent is marginally hotter, the actual skin of the machine itself is actually cooler to the touch based on measurements from a thermal camera.
Thanks, that's good to know. I'll report back if the new console is different than the one I'm taking back.Target only requires you have everything that was included.

Speakers seem louder then my regualar switch, had to turn it down when usually had it maxed on the other system. No complaints on sound quality, they sound great.
As for the dpad, seems as good as the modded one I had on my regular switch, tried out sonic, metal slug and a few shooters. All played fine. Don't have any 2d Fighters or I would try one of them.
You really think people that have 2-3 switches, checking and testing things are not being helpful?
Just exchanged mine, it's noticeably louder than the one I just replaced. About the same as my OG Switch now. Unfortunately, it has two dead pixels. Fuck my shitty luck. Think I'll just refund and wait for Switch Pro. The quality control is just piss poor.I was one of the people that thought my Switch Lite was a lot quieter than my normal Switch. I finally compared them side by side and they're a lot closer in volume than I thought. The Lite actually sounds a little bit better (less tinny), but it does seem to be ever so slightly quieter. But yeah, anyone that says it's much quieter like I thought mine was, I encourage you to play a video from the eShop on both to compare.
It IS quiet, though. I just thought it was a lot quieter than the OG Switch, but it's not.
Tested all mine and the seem to work really well, too. Thank goodness.I just did the button text in settings and received no erroneous inputs. I'm very happy with the Dpad on my gray unit. Only issue is hand cramps due to how small it is and how big my hands are, but I'll solve that with the Satisfye grip next month. If I had any gripe it would be that my screen temp is cool, but the colors are popping so no biggie. This might be the goat handheld.
Mine is basically a Lumines, Tetris 99 and Picross machine, so I just wanted to make sure the Dpad wasn't a repeat of the Pro controller. I'm very happy. Hopefully Panel De Pon makes it's way to the Switch in some form and then it will be the perfect handheld.Tested all mine and the seem to work really well, too. Thank goodness.
I'm sure it's not great for something like Street Fighter, but I literally never play fighting games, so.

Do all of the Lite colors feel sorta rough on the back? My gray model feels a lot rougher than my OG Switch.
It sorta feels like a rough paint job or something. It could be for better grip, but I'm wondering if the other colors don't feel like this.
(I have some nephropathy so fine textures feel weird to me.)
Are the D-Pads not all the same?It's a shame that it seems like some are getting poor dpads, all 'new' hardware has issues of some kind (it's hard to know exactly how widespread this issue is) but all I can suggest is returning and trying to make sure the next one is ok by asking to quickly try it out.
I played the same game on two Lites and noticed very different behavior. There's definitely something odd going on with some dpads. Most reviewers loved it, so the assumption is that there's far more good than bad.Are the D-Pads not all the same?
I assume anyone saying their's is better than what others are reporting are aren't playing games where diagnals need to be incredible sure and precise, like fighting games and SHMUPS.
ESPECIALLY concerning older games before developers began tuning 2D games to be played with analog sticks and more lenient input detections.
Really interested to see this confirmed in a technical analysis. The thing is, I don't put a lot of stock in those hardware reviews because I have no idea what those people tested the games on and if any they tested would really put the D-Pad diagnals through their paces or if the reviewer is sensitive enough to notice dropped or incorrect inputs.I played the same game on two Lites and noticed very different behavior.

Anecdotal, but for those who care about color popularity, our remaining stock in our front-of-store display at Target as of this afternoon (do not know starting counts to compare against):
Gray: 5
Turquoise: 1
Yellow: 0
Like, lots of people say they have no issues with the OG Joycon "D-Pad" but those people are obvious not playing oldschool 2D arcade games.
My Walmart has one turquoise, one gray, and two yellow.Anecdotal, but for those who care about color popularity, our remaining stock in our front-of-store display at Target as of this afternoon (do not know starting counts to compare against):

Yellow is best colourPeople have poor taste.
Honestly I think they launched 3 colors that aren't great and they will get some people to double-dip for the inevitable Zelda / Mario / Animal Crossing Switch Lite.. or even more fun colors.
I just tried LttP for SNES on it, since I haven't tested diagonals yet, and diagonals worked on it 100% of the time. Didn't have to press down hard or anything.At least on the nihongogamer video, the problem seemed to be that the dpad is too pressed in, so when trying to hit diagonals his thumb was hitting the plastic in the diagonal and not registering. He could get diagonals but he had to press it really hard, harder than is probably comfortable when playing normally.
That also makes I think two posters here who said the down diagonals are worse than the up diagonals, but I'm not sure what would cause that?

Nope, unfortunately not.
No, but the speakers at max volume vibrate the console.

I wanted a Lite partially for the built in D-Pad bit it's honestly a downgrade since the unit can't use the Hori JoyCon.
Well sure, if you put a u in it. Anything looks snazzy with an extra u.
Not sure. I played the same video from the eShop on both and the Lite was slightly quieter, but slightly better sounding (the highs weren't as harsh).Are the Lite's speakers not suppose to be as loud as the OG Switch?
Man. I really don't want to play the lottery on consoles.I specifically tested old, 2D games as a first order of business upon using my Switch Lite for the first time: Street Fighter 3, Ikaruga, Danmaku Unlimited 3, Super Castlevania IV (diagonal whipping), and Blazing Chrome all worked flawlessly. I had minor issues trying to crouch and move in Contra 3, and in trying to slide while ducking in Super Mario Bros. 3.
I wouldn't say so. I have a Hori d-pad joycon and it's really mushy, it feels cheap. Lite is currently my favourite d-pad option on the Switch, although I prefer the feel of the Pro Controller overall but it has those notorious input issues.So the Hori D-pad is just straight up better than the Lite one?
This doesn't sound good at all.
Yeah, dpad doesn't work on Link's Awakening, unfortunately. No idea why. But the poster you replied to mentioned Link to the Past (for SNES via Nintendo Switch Online), not Link's Awakening.How do you use the d-pad in Links Awakening? I can't see an option in the settings and only the stick works for movement for me.
