    I love my switch lite. I've had it for over a month now and it runs perfectly. It is a nice hand held one, slightly smaller than my normal switch! Love how small and light it is though.

    I recently preordered the Pokémon Switch Lite and it’s gorgeous, cute, pretty, every adjective I like to describe this beauty. I have fibromyalgia and the bigger Switch is too heavy for me to play on (I tried my friend’s) so the Switch Lite was perfect. It’s light enough but feels premium and complete feeling. The D-Pad is soft but firm enough that it’s really a joy to play the 2D games on Nintendo Switch Online and everything else. I can also see for some if you have bigger hands, it might be difficult to play for longer periods of time. But there are hand grip options so I think it’s still a good alternative for those who have been holding out for a Switch. As for the screen size, I was worried that it was too small but honestly, it’s perfect. Also, very clear! Play time depends on the game. Playing Pokémon Let’s Go gets me about 4.5-ish hours with half of the brightness on with about 30% of battery left. I can’t speak for other games like BOTW but I’m trying the Dragon Quest XI S Demo and it takes about 3 hours until the battery came to 35%. All in all, I think I prefer this over the original Switch since I play in my room with no TV most of the time as I did when I’m playing my 3DS. I would definitely recommend it. And, in case anyone is wondering, no signs of drift with mine!

    I am going to try to leave a review for this product even though my experience with it has been very limited. I purchased this as a birthday gift for someone who I care very much about. He had wanted the Nintendo Switch Console and I could see why immediately. I was a huge Animal Crossing fan. Loved the game on the Nintendo Wii and I credit the Wii with assisting me with the beginnings of my over 100 lb weight loss. Love in the time of Covid... I could not find Switch consoles anywhere other than marketplace sellers gouging or profiting off an investment. It depends on how you see it. I ended up buying him the switch lite. I think I might be playing the game more if the 2 person console was what I had ended up with but it was more important to me that he had this little Animal Crossing buddy to take with him to chemotherapy treatments. I've played for a moment here or there so I've seen the controls and I've heard of some of the new features since Animal Crossing: City Folk. But believe it or not, we're both still playing Pokemon Go. With this gadget, just like many others, be prepared for the 20 others little things that you need to go with it. Screen protector. Carrying Case. Game. Headphone adapter. I hope this helps someone out there debating on the Nintendo Switch Lite for what it's worth or maybe just someone who likes real product reviews.

    The Switch Lite is awesome. The portability is amazing. Battery life is good. The built-in Joy-Cons feel much better than the detachable ones for the regular Switch.

    My Switch Lite goes with me almost everywhere. I'm always trying to find some time to squeeze in a play. Graphics are great, its ergonomic, and lots packed into such a portable device.

    My son loves it so that's what really matters. Nice a portable, seems well built. Battery life has been good. Only gave 4 because of the limitations it has vs the regular switch (unable to dock, no rumble or motion controls without separate controllers)

    I love my Switch Lite. I like that it is 1 solid unit rather than 3 parts (Console and 2 controllers). Great for little hands to hold as it is lightweight and smaller in length.

    I bought this for downtime at work (night shift). I also have a standard Switch but my daughter uses it often, so I bought this smaller one for myself. Works great, I actually like it better than my standard Switch for portable usage. It’s smaller, lighter, and easier to hold that a normal Switch. As long as you have no plans to hook it up to a TV, it’s a better device IMO. So far no issues with stick drift. My other Switch is plagued with it, like many other peoples, but this one, nope. At least not yet.

    This is my second switch. My to go switch. I take it to work and play during my break. For some reason i enjoy playing more on this switch than with my first generation switch. This nintendo switch is great. The battery life is longer and it feels better on my hands when i use it. I was hesitant about about buying it because i already had one. I use this switch lite on the go and I keep my first generation switch on the dock. I will eventually clean it up, repack it and give it to my son for Christmas. In the meantime i will be using it for the next three months secretly. I recommend this nintendo switch lite to everyone 100%

    I love portable games and have always been a Nintendo person. I grew up with the game boy and this switch gives me the opportunity to play great Nintendo games in the go. Now that I’m older, it gives me a very nostalgic feeling. Personally, I never really played console games on the tv, so with this not being able to switch over to the tv and not having detachable controllers does not bother me too much. It’s much lighter and much more convenient than the original switch. My boyfriend has one and I rarely touch his but always reach for mine instead. The screen is a little bit smaller but that’s perfectly okay with me. It’s definitely great to travel with as well!
