Overview
- Modder KOUZEX transplanted Switch Lite internals into a Wii U GamePad shell to create a working handheld that preserves the original controls.
- The build keeps every GamePad button functional with one-to-one mapping, using real Switch hardware rather than emulation.
- Upgrades include an OLED display reported as sourced from Taki Udon, a PicoFly RP2040-based modchip, and a larger battery.
- Current trade-offs include no cartridge slot access and internal temperatures roughly five degrees Celsius above a stock Switch Lite.
- Coverage highlights extensive soldering and board trimming, with reviewers noting the result appears more comfortable than a standard Switch Lite.
