Im not interested unless it has; Hall effect thumb sticks to reduce stick drift

An OLED screen

Backwards compatibility with Switch 1 games.

A headphone jack that allows game chat and game audio

And is designed to be easily repaired, like not having tons of adhesive, uncommon screw types etc

They're never going to get rid of the tri-wing screws.

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a practical reason they use those obnoxious screws or is it simply to discourage home repairs? When I had to replace my Switch's fan last year, those insanely tiny screws were a pain in the ass to not accidentally strip.

It's purposeful to discourage user servicing. I recommend purchasing a quality tri-wing driver, e.g. from iFixit or Proskit.

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

iFixit have the best driver at the price point, period

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

iFixit's pro kit is great even if you only open up one device a year

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I figured as much. And yeah, when I replaced my fan I bought the iFixit kit which was really useful.

I'm usually not one to advertise, but they provide extremely accurate and complete guides for precision electronics repair, and sell the necessary tools and parts with sufficient quality and reasonable prices.

So you want a modded steam deck?

[–] Violette@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, you can put a OLED screen on the Steam Deck?

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago

You're not going to be interested then.

Lmao keep dreaming then. The switch aint ever gonna be that.

[–] gwildors_gill_slits@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's already a version of the switch that has an OLED screen

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes and the switch 2 needs to continue with this trend
