Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “I built the Ultimate Switch OLED π
”.
Welcome my friends to the Ultimate Switch OLED. With the Switch 2 right around the corner. It is time to take this average ordinary, regular Switch OLED and turn it into something. Truly next level.
Or I’m gon na ruin. It and it’ll be a hilarious bit of YouTube. Content., The Switch OLED is outfitted with a monstrous 64 gigabyte, capacity. Double the original Switch, but that’s clearly not enough.. So how about we put a terabyte inside? Can I just say, though I don’t really buy. Digital Switch games’cause Nintendo Online suck, and I don’t trust that they won’t just disappear in a few years when Nintendo decides that they don’t wan na make the Switch anymore.. So now that I’ve test fit the micro SD card, we have a very important thing to do, which is to take apart the Switch..
So the first thing we have is the ExtremeRate clear, Switch OLED replacement.. Now, if you’ve seen my Switch Lite you’ll know that one of my favorite parts of that is that it is a clear back on the shell which I think looks cool. Now to be fair. I’M not entirely sure what the inside of the Switch OLED looks like, but we should have everything we need right, here. And importantly, because we’ve got ta match.
We also have clear Joy-Con housing shells.. So let me ask the room a question.. What is the biggest problem with Joy-Cons [ Matt ] They’re too small.? What’S the second biggest problem with Joy-Cons [ Matt ], They taste bad when you put’em in your mouth.
[ Kinsey ], “ Tokyo, Drift, ?”, (, bell, dinging ), Joy-Con drift., It’s a real problem. My friend., Which is why I have a solution.. So this is the GuliKit Gilkit, whatever you call it hall, sensing joysticks for Joy-Cons. Hall sensing, if you’re not familiar instead of using an actual pressure, point uses magnets, which are much less prone to being worn out over many furious nights of playing “ Smash.”. Oh, my god, the instructions are an hour long [ Ken ], Hey yo, ( crew, laughing ), All right. Two little baby screws and.
Ah. (, Matt laughing ), [ Matt ]. What’S the over under that we even get to two o’clock before he gives up on this Okay, so I’m already in danger of rounding off one of my very first screws, so this is great.. This is going really well.
My friends., Oh wow. Finally.. I did a thing., I did a thing. 700, more screws, left.
[ Ken ] Wow unhinged. ( drum roll ) ( cymbal crash ). That was a good one.. That was a good one., So one thing I will give to this kit is that it has, thankfully included a second set of screws, and those are actually really helpful because the screws that were inside the Switch OLED were awful and soft.
Out of the six side. Screws on the rails, four of them were stripped pretty much immediately. ( crew laughing ) No way. That’S okay..
Is there very big, obvious pieces of tape on it? Yes. [ Ken ]. Wait idea idea, idea: idea. Idea, idea. Yeah go ahead. Idea.
Take your pick.! Oh Put a Pokemon card in here., Oh bro, it fits That actually is not bad right. This is not an incredibly rare or valuable card, but the Lugia V. I love this art.. I think this look cool.. The one problem I’m gon na have – and I think it’s okay – is that there is this antenna – I assume one’s for wifi, one’s for Bluetooth or maybe it’s for dual band wifi or whatever.
But there are these big tape marks.. So essentially, I’m gon na have to slightly bend the card to go flat, but I think it’ll work., Then literally just transferring the buttons and all the little bits and bobs into my new Switch. There we go. Look at that..
Those are some buttons right there. Just like 17 more to go., So the clear backplate is on.. Now there are, with this kit a few additional options that I have chosen to forego., Namely there’s a little plastic piece that could go on the bottom. That would replace the black here. And I’ll be honest.
I kinda think the black looks better than this being clear and seeing nothing but a little bit of metal behind it. Does anyone know know how long this took me. [ Ken ] An hour and a half.. It was an hour and a half of hard work, but we’ve got ourselves a kickstand which is a very kickstandy. Woo. Woo.
And now importantly, I can finish it off by inserting my micro SD card once again, boom. One terabyte of clear Lugia-powered goodness., I’m just stalling Right now, because this was the easy part and the Joy-Cons are going to take me quite literally like two or three hours., So we have gotten lazy and ignored the instructions altogether. And then I just started ripping Joy-Cons apart, which I will say is being actually quite quite useful.. We’Re almost done right, I’m a lot farther than you., But looky what we’ve got here..
This is the original garbage town, little stick.. Why are there so many things underneath here, Bruh., Ah ooh, who needs an X button anyway, Notice how I’ve not had to swear because mine are coming out just fine. (, upbeat, music )? So what’s going on Okay, so I got a little frustrated last night with my Joy-Con, which I will say, looks dope. Taking it apart for the third time..
So basically, when I put it on the Switch, it shows up and it does charge and the stick works, but the buttons do not work at all.. The stick is the only thing that is functional, which is really weird to me, because these face buttons are on the board and they click fine.. So I don’t know why., Oh, have you come to gloat No. It don’t work.? I came to check on you because you said it was gon na be 10 minutes, and that was four hours ago.. So this may look just like the Joy-Con. I was working on a couple of hours ago, but this is the Joy-Con.
I was working on a couple of hours ago., So after assembling dissembling and double checking everything my face buttons still weren’t working on this Joy-Con.. I then took a second Joy-Con swapped it over, which is why you can see. I have my little salmon buttons’cause. I don’t care., I’m just trying to see if this thing works. So lem me turn this Switch on.. Here we go.. Okay, it takes a second., It shows up as red, which is fine.. Now here’s the test.
Stick works excellent.. Yes, Yes, It was actually the stupid PCB. B X Y home button, Congratulations. Thanks., We have the Retroflag Ultimate Switch controller.. Now you might ask, after spending literal days on my Joy-Cons, why would you want to replace it with a Pro Grip And I would say as great as my Joy-Cons are unfortunately there’s one major flaw.: They have batteries.. That is where this comes: in., Joy-Con, charging and game case.. It looks like a little Super Famicom, a regular Famicom right. This is gon na look really cool in a minute.. Also, I’ve never opened this before in my life, and I don’t understand how it works.. How does that even work? Oh, that’s! Neat.! Oh okay! Okay! I got it. Now.
Look, see, look how cute that is.. So my Joy-Cons are charging and then I can just be like while my Joy-Cons are charging. Oh, no, I can’t play my Ultimate Switch. Whatever. Shall I do I pull out the even better controller., My friends hall sensing, what It’s purple? ( people laughing ) [, Matt ]? It’S almost like the transparent purple that we tried to get you to get..
This has gone horribly wrong.. I like that. Though., Though this is really cool., So I’ve seen this in the past, I’ve never actually used it before., So this is essentially a GameCube styled pro controller for the Switch and the Switch OLED.. So, unfortunately, I’m gon na cover up my Switch with this. ( crew laughing ), That’s fine. [ Ken ].
He can’t put the Switch in. [ Matt ], Nope nope.. This is meant for a regular Switch and not a Switch OLED.. Do you want some WD-40 Boy get a close up on that., That’s a really great tolerance.. Can you see how my USB-C fits in there? Hey? Does anyone have a Switch OLED in the office? I could test [ Ken ]. I can grab mine from downstairs.
That’d. Be great.: Can we just double check? The Switch OLED kickstand actually sticks out a little bit., So the regular Switch, if I remember correctly, was pretty much flush on the back, but this one has a little bit of a divot. [ Ken ]. I think what what you mean to say is Lugia’s thick., Look so a normal Switch OLED and a normal Switch..
Oh yeah., The original is a denser plastic, So it’s more rigid on its own.. Oh look! Look at the time.. My Joy-Cons have charged how convenient. Ready to move on to the next item. Hello, friends, I’m back and I’ve got the solution to all our problems.. There’S one thing to make that blurry terrible ugly image quality on the Switch far better.. It’S the graphics, card. Huh, No. Mm-hm., Hello, my friends, and welcome to the mClassic graphics card.. Now this some might call it an HDMI upscaler, which- -‘Cause, that’s what it is.
Is. What might be referred to as an upscaler.. However, the esteemed GameStop has clearly described this as a graphics card for Switch, which will make my games look better. And who am I to question the glorious, GameStop Purveyors of fine products and wonderful deals. Game console graphics, processor..
This is listed on GameStop’s website as a graphics card.. This is not a graphics card.. This is not going to revolutionize your console..
You know what I have seen the light. Did. I call this a scam once Nope, I didn’t.. In fact, I would say it’s a really good product., I’m gon na plug in my HDMI, using a handy little extender, because this is so powerful. It doesn’t fit.. Oh oh oh., Silly me., I was so busy gazing upon the glory of these Joy-Cons.
I completely forgot.. How am I supposed to control my Switch when my Joy-Cons connected to my Switch? That’S crazy! You can’t do it., No, it’s impossible.! Now. Is there some easy to use accessory? That comes with my Switch that I could just attach it and use my Joy-Cons in a slightly more meaningful way.
No there’s not it doesn’t exist.. Instead, I got another controller. There.
You go. Look it’s a Switch controller from PowerA. [, Ken ].
It looks like it matches the blue screen. [ Austin ]. Now my friends, you can see.
We’Ve got ourselves the Ultimate Switch on an Ultimate OLED. There, you go. Suck it Pikachu., [, Matt, ], You’re, about to talk a lot of trash and then get destroyed. ( screaming ). Is there a Virtual Boy in the back? Oh my God., That was wow. That was really good..
Okay, we don’t need that page anymore, which yeah, oh cool., So I’ll say we could end the video here and some would argue we should end the video here.. However, there’s one more thing., There’s one more thing.. What happens when I want a Switch? That’S a little bit bigger, but not this big right, ?’Cause, I’m not gon na. You think I’m gon na get on a plane with this please., But this is too small to use on an everyday basis.. So this. [ Ken ], Oh, we gave him a weapon.. Might wait no, no no. [ Kinsey ]. Is this why you always get stopped on planes? This is not. [ Ken ]. This is Austin’s. Second amendment.
We get it. Behold my friends. ( crew, laughing ). The Switch Ultimate experience., The Switch, is a 720p display.. This is a 768p display. Wow.
You got literal dozens of additional pixels. [ Matt ]. Can we upscale this six pixels? No actually we’re downscaling, because the Switch will output 1080p and then it is thrown out the rest of those pixels and it’s running at 768p.. That’S fine., [, Matt ], But those thrown out pixels are gon na look absolutely fire..
We have diluted the meaning of Ultimate. So much in this article. Hey, look at look., Wow. Wow.! Look at the contrast on C right! Now.! It looks- Look at the beautiful viewing angles. [ Ken ], So different between the three cameras.. You know what Do you even trust me to be a conductor right now: [ Matt ]. I don’t trust you to open a jar of pickles right, now., All right, 55.. Okay, we are exceeding the speed limit.
Now. Go go go. Go.! You were we’re overtime.
Woo! Oh we’re in a station., Wait: slow down, slow down, slow down., That’s the end! That’S the end.! Oh nope, nope nope nope.. We missed it. Okay.
Where’s Toby McGuire. When you need him, ( upbeat, music, ), Good tone.. At least we got good music to go out. On.
