The Nintendo Switch Lite is the compact, handheld-only member of the family, and usually the cheapest way onto Switch. It is smaller and lighter than the standard console with the controls built in, so it is easy to pick up and play anywhere, from Pokémon to Mario Kart. The one thing to know is that it does not dock to the TV, so it is made for handheld play. Every console is tested and graded by our team, and if you want to compare the models the refurbished Nintendo Switch hub has them all in one place. Take a look at what is in stock below.

The Lite is built for handheld gaming and nothing else, which is exactly why it is smaller, lighter and cheaper than the rest of the range. The controls are part of the console rather than removable, so there is less to carry and lose, and it slips easily into a bag for gaming on the move. It plays the vast majority of the Switch library, which makes it a great first console for younger players or a handy second one for the house.
The trade-off to be clear about is that the Lite does not connect to a TV. If playing on the big screen matters to you, the standard console is the one to choose instead. If you only ever play handheld, none of that is a loss and the Lite gives you the same games for less.
Each console is fully tested, cleaned and graded before it goes on sale. You will see the grade on every listing, from A+ Pristine down through A Excellent, B Good and C Grade, so you can decide how much cosmetic wear you are happy with and pay accordingly. A lower grade performs exactly like a top one, it just carries a few more marks from its previous life.
Want to play on the TV as well? The standard refurbished Nintendo Switch docks to the big screen, the refurbished Nintendo Switch OLED adds a bigger, brighter handheld screen, and the refurbished Nintendo Switch 2 is the latest generation. Buying refurbished rather than new saves you money and keeps a good console in use rather than sitting in a drawer.
No. The Switch Lite is handheld-only and cannot dock to a TV, so all your gaming is on its built-in screen. If you want to play on the big screen as well, the standard refurbished Nintendo Switch is the one to choose, as it docks to the TV and also plays handheld.
The Lite is smaller, lighter and cheaper, with the controls built in and no option to connect to a TV. The standard Nintendo Switch is larger, docks to the TV and has detachable controllers. Both play the same games, apart from a small number that need the TV or separate controllers the Lite does not have.
It plays the large majority of the Switch library. A handful of games are built around TV play or detached controllers, which the Lite does not support, and those will say so on the box. For everything else, the Lite plays the same games as the rest of the range.
Yes. It is compact, hard-wearing with fewer loose parts, and the most affordable way onto Switch, which makes it a popular choice for younger players. A refurbished one keeps the price down further, and every console is fully tested before it leaves us.
Each console is graded so there are no surprises. A+ Pristine looks close to new, A Excellent has very light wear, B Good shows some visible marks, and C Grade carries more noticeable signs of use. Whichever grade you choose, the console has been fully tested and works the same. The grade only reflects how it looks.
Yes, every console is covered by our warranty and returns are straightforward if anything is not right. The exact cover is confirmed at checkout.
