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.

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.

iFixit have the best driver at the price point, period

[-] Lesrid@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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.
