Inside switch, modchip visiblecompleted pic, bad lightingbackside of switch

My modded switch lite with new shell and joycons! Got these from aliexpress since the original shell was cracked and the joycons had some dead zones. Whole process took about 3.5 hours (with child interruptions). I had some pics of the soldering but seem to have lost them.

Nice shell and clean work.

What did you do for the joycons? The last time I went in my switch I finally bit the bullet and dropped the extra cash for Hall effect joysticks. It was pricier but not that costly (like $27 instead of the normal like $3 joycon swap) but they are far more sensitive and will last basically forever whereas I was swapping joycon sticks like once a year before bc of drift and dead zones. Absolutely crazy they didn’t go with a better design for switch 2. The ifixit guide showed the joycon stick is basically the same despite Nintendo claiming it’s sturdier.

I got mine from AliExpress and I think they were "no drift" or something like that.~~ About 18$ so maybe they're Hall effect~~? I've had really good luck with joycons until I bought this one from eBay.

I'm not surprised with Nintendo s decision, they're probably saving hall effect and OLED for the switch 2 pro. I'm disappointed with it, but not surprised.

Edit: they were 4$ so definitely not Hall effect. I had a number of items in my order and got confused.
