So, if you play games like I do you may be able to get away with the switch light. Actually, compared to the small screen on the Nintendo DS portables, even the switch lite is a massive improvement. Thats what I am use to doing and how I’ve played games my entire life. I just bring my face closer to the screen. So, for me personally, I enjoy using both my switch light and switch in handheld mode. I have no blind spots or issues with my visual field. I primarily have issues when things are too far, too small or if it’s too bright. So my up close vision is a lot better then my far away vision. For me the trouble with my vision is at it’s root a problem with seeing details. Moving on to the second half of the question: Can you use the switch light if you are visually impaired? Unfortunately it does really depends on your vision. Photo Description: switch with docked Can you use the Switch Lite if your Visually Impaired? The switch light doesn’t have this functionality so you’re stuck with that small screen.

Given the limited number of vision specific accessibility features the biggest advantage that the larger models have is the ability to dock and display the game on TV or monitor.
#Switch lite full#
The primary reason why the full sized switch models are better for low vision users and the visually impaired is that the Switch and Switch OLED have a docking feature. why is the Full sized Switch (and the OLED) a better Choice However, in my opinion this difference isn’t significant enough but to be a deciding factor. So in handheld mode the switch and switch OLED do give you slightly more screen real estate for reading and zooming in than the switch light. This makes the switch OLED the best of the 3 switch consoles when it comes to reading or playing anything in handheld mode. The OLED switch has a larger 7 inch OLED screen which allows for better color contrast than the LCD displays on the the other switch models.

So assuming the text hasn’t been optimized for the switch lite, text on the switch light is about 10 percent smaller than the switch.

The switch has a 6.2 inch lcd screen and the switch light has a 5.5 inch lcd a screen. They have more options based on what I have researched.

If you are looking for systems with more vision specific accessibility options i recommend checking out the xbox series or the PlayStation.
#Switch lite software#
The Switch, Switch OLED and Switch Lite have the exact same software and thus the same accessibility features and the switch lineup as a whole has the fewest accessibly options of the three major consoles. It also useful for looking at stationary in game objects. While this feature isn’t very helpful in faster paced games, I have found it useful for reading text (especially because some games have text that’s uncomfortable for fully sighted people to read).

To access these setting go to system settings > System. There is no text to speech, you cannot adjust text size, improve contrast, etc. While, some games have additional built-in accessibility features, this is what is available on the console. You really only have access to a zoom feature and the ability to invert or gray scale the display colors. Lets Talk about Accessibilityįirst, its important to note that the Switch doesn’t have a lot of accessibility features. Let me explain how I came to that conclusion. Can you use a Switch Lite if you have a visual impairment? Which one is the better console from a visual accessibility prospective? The short answer is: the regular Switch (the OLED model if its within your budget).
