I recently noticed that both Joy-Cons could not be used as individual controllers anymore. I got the tools and the replacement parts from iFixit and repaired them myself.

    I never had any Nintendo handheld before the Switch. I’m weird though, so I might be the wrong person to give a perspective on that. I’ve got my phone attached to my Steam Deck so I can watch videos while playing games. It weighs a lot and I happily hold that up in my hand for hour long gaming sessions. This is somehow comfortable and manageable for me.

      Yeah, the steam deck gives tons of space to grip comfortably to support the weight, I can see how that wouldn’t be as bad as it might look

      The DS through the 3DS had even tinier controls than the switch, but weigh significantly less which is why I was curious if you’d ever tried them

      I’m glad you find a way of setting up the switch to work better for you, in spite of the very child-centric feeling design lol
