Redditor posts photo of Switch Lite without a B Button

In a case of random things that happen during manufacturing, a reddit user got a Switch Lite that had two Y buttons instead of the one B button normal on Nintendo controllers.

someone asleep on the assembly line that day?

It's in early alpha release

HD Rumble? Check? on a Switch Lite SMH >this Dumb***

Did China ban the B?

Pro*a*ly

Makes me think of the twin blaster Samus Amiibo. How does this happen. Lol

I'd hang onto this Switch and not play it it could possibly be worth cash down the road. I am surprised Nintendo hasn't stepped up and tried to reach out to the customer about this mistake they made.

[luckytrouble]

Nah. Buttons are real easy to swap out, and it would be incredibly hard to validate whether or not it was opened since it's a fairly easy system to take apart. A silly mistake, but not a profitable one.

[Knightofelemia]

No necessarily people can tell when a system has been popped open especially on the newer ones minus the void warranty stickers. Screws missing, sticker residue does not line up, new thermal paste screws with screwed up heads, or my fave the system rattles because someone put something back the wrong way. And I said it could possibly be worth cash down the road.

I’d be keeping that! It’s practically a one of a kind Lite Switch at this point.

[anonymousfan]

Except it's easy to open and modify...

[CobraKai]

But i know it wasn’t modded and that’s all that matters to me. I don’t get something like that with intentions of reselling. I keep em as curious oddities.

[TheHateTheyGive]

Big deal the button still there, any nintendo fan knows that B comes before A.

This is about an amusing manufacturing mistake, not knocking the system.

Mistakes happen, dude. Chill. lol

[rob-GP]

Depending on how the buttons are crafted in the backend (as they usually have notches so they slot into the right hole) it may be the Same on all buttons this time. If so, they could have opened it and swapped the buttons with another unit.

This isnt like the samus which was literally a manufacture defect, this unit isn't worth any more than a regular switch lite second hand.

B'have

[Shuckylad]

‘Y’ did this happen?!

[strayanalog]

Y is this news, amirite?

[NonShinyGoose]

"We have got go back"

[Vanfernal]

So... There was a manufacturing defect... How is this news? Anyone who's ever worked at an assembly line knows these are bound to happen every once in a while.

[ShadowWolf712]

Because it's interesting and kinda funny?

Better question, why does it bother you?

[KickSpinFilter]

Now worth a whole lot a money!!

[Christopher]

Not all. Easy enough to just mod in a duplicate button like this without any damage to the case.

I'd keep that as it will be an ultra rare console

Y no B?
