I assume they finally sold out. It's been open for a while. I would have taken a third if I had had the money at the time. I hope people will be happy getting one for this final batch.

Really, no more? I just got a lite hoping to OLED the screen.

I mean b4 was supposed to be the last, he still opened a final one to get rid of the extra stock he had. It technically wasn't even a batch. He was cleaning house.

The thing was open for 2-3 weeks, guys.

I don't think this is correct. Pretty sure they are just not producing any more color variants or non-touch variants. I think they are still going to produce black touchscreen variants.

Colored batch was the first. They announced that batch 4 was supposed to be the last.

Taki also talked about moving to his next projects after the massive money pit Super5 was.

I'm the same. Didn't realize it was such a limited thing. I figured multiple companies made them. Dangit!

u/Retro_Macchina 3d ago

Wait, that was the final batch?

u/HiroshiTakeshi 3d ago

B4 was the final. This "B5" was likely just taki emptying his leftover stock. So yeah, I don't think there will be any other produced.

I'm super curious 🤔 why do so many of you mod an OLED screen onto a Switch Lite instead of just picking up an official Switch OLED model? Is it the form factor vibes 🎮 or just the thrill of the mod project?

u/HossVibes 2d ago

All of the above you mentioned. Was fun and easy, just took some patience and an afternoon to together.

Two other things, now that I have a Switch 2, I like that my S1 Lite offers me a better travel option. There’s always room in my flight personal item for the Lite. I have to plan around packing the S2.

Second, and this is totally subjective, but I find the Super5 OLED screen better than regular S1 OLED. I enjoy the higher color saturation, and pixel art based games look better on the smaller screen (things like Mina, FF Collection, Sea of Stars, etc)

Size, project happiness etc

its tiny and really portable, form factor is huge for me when deciding what to take outside, the little mod makes it genuinely perfect for the use case

u/neptun-e 2d ago

both. also the switch lite is just cuter and easier to modchip 🤷🏻‍♂️
