Of the OLED Switches that we recommend, they have several things in common: a durable and beautiful OLED screen, a fair price point, reliable software, and hardy hardware. Our favorite is the vanilla console, which comes in a clean white color and includes an impressive modern design for durability and reliability. But if you want something a bit more stylish, we recommend the Splatoon 3 Special Edition since both the console and Joy-Cons feature paint-splattered designs.
