What are the pros and cons of modifying a Nintendo Switch? - eviltoast

Just found out the Switch I got a while back is a V1 model, meaning that it’s one of the Switches that’s able to be modified. I’m thinking of modifying it, but I’d like to know the upsides and issues first.

    Fair enough, I suppose there’s still some kicking around the supply lines but kinda sounds like you won the modding lotto lol. If you’re not modding though I’d be a bit upset because the revisions have nearly doubled battery life.

      Ha, that’s typical >.<

      We’re not modding, at least for now, as the other kids in the family have Switches too, so they all play online. In fairness though, the battery life has been decent so far, and we’re not usually far from a power supply.

      I’m tempted to mod mine, but I might bite the bullet and get a Steam Deck instead. I don’t tend to play AAA games, so it should be my ideal handheld :)
