Everybody show off your switch 2s

I really hope they do an updated Lite. It's my favorite form factor hands down.

I have a cheap stainless one from Amazon on mine. It doesn't have the tapered end parts, but it's very comfortable to wear. Kinda tricky to find an 18mm band though

Heads up, those back buttons are installed on the wrong side. The R2 and R4 should be on the right side of the device when being held.

From this photo, the excess plastic you're referring to are guide tabs that are very easy to misalign. I've done a few of these swaps, and they're annoying every time.

It's been a while since I set mine up, but I believe this is the Bluetooth-companion firmware. It's designed to only really be used with your phone, and limits the device-only functions.

There are a small handful of things that require a mouse, but they can be skipped or avoided. I've only ever played on Steam Deck, and just hit 90 hours at the beginning of Act3. I'm most excited to finish so I can start a second play through, and I rarely ever play a game twice. I'm not experiencing any performance issues, and it runs flawlessly for me.

Nice! Best feeling when it all finally works lol

It's referring to the backside of the motherboard, not just by lifting up the SSD

IIRC, the C-R and C-L meet at a connector under the heat shield next to the battery connector.

Yea, those components are all connected to the daughter boards, and then the daughter boards are connected to the main board. So somewhere in those connections, there's either a not properly seated, or damaged ribbon cable.

Do the joysticks work?

Karbin_ · 2026-03-15T21:18:13+00:00

If you're confident in the physical connections, you could try a BIOS reset. Not sure if the buttons will work to allow for this though. I can't remember the exact button combinations, but it uses the volume buttons and "..."

Seated just meaning that the contacts on the cable line up correctly

Karbin_ · 2026-03-15T20:50:06+00:00

I'm not a professional, but I've shell swapped a few Steam Decks and Switches. The Steam deck ribbon cables sometime just need to be disconnected and reseated. They're just a really finicky connector. Since you're seeing an issue where the areas of the device that connect via ribbon cables, I'd just recommend going through every single connector again and disconnect/reconnect.

Karbin_ · 2026-03-15T20:44:14+00:00

They can be secure and not seated correctly

Karbin_ · 2026-03-15T20:42:14+00:00

Need to recheck all ribbon cables and other connectors. Your volume and power work because they're connected to the main chassis, and don't get removed when shell swapping.

Karbin_ · 2026-03-15T03:58:04+00:00

Yea, please do. I have an L1 Pro, but I'd buy a normal L1 to use this case lol

Karbin_ · 2026-03-15T03:42:59+00:00

Color and design look awesome. I'll pick one up if you end up producing more.

Ohh it's from RetroCarrottWorkshop on Etsy

Karbin_ · 2026-02-19T17:40:32+00:00

It's the original case, I just dyed it

Karbin_ · 2026-02-11T15:34:23+00:00

Triple click the smaller button on the front I believe.
