As someone who used a Switch Lite for a couple of years, though, I actually think Ayn’s hardware is better. The only real complaint I have about this hardware is the goofy Odin logo underneath the D-pad. The Odin’s design inspiration is pretty obvious: it’s basically a Nintendo Switch Lite running Android.
