I'm sure it'll be fine. And given they weren't in a usable state with drift anyways, it seems like a no-lose situation.
That's awesome. Thanks for testing for us.

I'd say go ahead and try it. Not like it's gonna hurt anything. I'd maybe err on the side of caution and go a bit thinner though. Maybe just cut out a piece of electrical tape and use that. Should be just enough thickness to do the job. And if not, add a 2nd layer.
Maybe go for 0.5 mm thickness, then 0.75 mm, then the full 1 mm thickness.
Typical photo paper is about 0.3 mm thick, so 3 layers of that is just under a mm. If the home button is a bit low, I'd say try cutting down to 0.5, or 0.6 mm if that's easier with 2 layers of 0.3
@JaxonH they had bad drift, and a weird thing with the gyro sensors, so I have been seriously considering buying another pair, but I think this will give more use out of them! The gyro sensor is still weird, but the main problem was the drift and that’s gone for now.
I forget who was discussing this, but the Switch OLED was confirmed to cost $10 more per unit to manufacture. So yeah, plenty of room for further improvements. I was pretty sure they weren't paying 10$ for am Ethernet port lol.
So Immortals Fenyx Rising is $23.99 on the US eShop. Got it for a little under $9 after cashing in my gold points that I usually save for the Black Friday sale. I figured that game is an absolute steal at that price!
@IceClimbers yea its rock solid. It's enjoyable for sure. Kept me busy for 35-40 hours but there's a ton to do. At that price you made out like a bandit.
@JaxonH Took some screenshots from the trailer. The use of color is SO striking. I might need an OLED Switch just to see this game in its full vibrant glory, lol.
Creepy.
This almost looks like a still from The End of Evangelion, which had similarly stunning apocalyptic imagery.
@IceClimbers here the physical version has been at half price for the longest time now. Still cannot see myself playing a BotW style knockoff by Ubisoft...
@JaxonH
I think you're overestimating some of those prices. I mean I'm looking at Australian retail prices for some of these things and even though AUD is weaker than USD the gap is still lower than you say. Going from a 32GB to a 64GB flash drive/microSD card is about $5AU and a Gigabit NIC for $15AU. So that's about $20AU at retail for those two things.
Also lets ignore my estimate of how much the OLED costs and go to this graph from Bloomberg....
Rounding up to $19US, $19US -> $25AU. So adding that all up it's about $45AU for these three components. Storage, network adapter (although we don't know if it's Gigabit) and OLED panel. And they're charging an additional $100AU at retail so there's at least $55AU of additional profit.
Of course this is ignoring that the current Switch also has a screen so it'd be less than that. And it'd be less again because there's no way Nintendo are paying what I'd pay for a LAN adapter and cheap flash.[....]
Not complaining about this, they can do this and it'll still sell so good on them. I'm just not buying into this narrative that a higher spec SKU is somehow impossible because Nintendo's profit margin has been eaten up entirely by the OLED panel. It hasn't.
@Ralizah
The colors are definitely well used. Idk what exactly it is about the game that makes it look so visually appealing. The graphics are good, but it's not just that. Maybe it's the use of color, but... I feel like it's even more than that. Can't quite put my finger on it. Art style? Maybe it's just the combination of everything.
Doesn't matter. It looks stunning. But the OLED model will certainly help the colors.
What also struck me is the music.
