TopicSwitch owners, how are you getting along with your console?

I recently got one, it's the first Nintendo console i've owned since Gamecube. I've owned all the Xbox consoles, and a PS3 since.

I gotta say, it's disappointing overall because how much it's held back. Little things I find annoying, the biggest one is lack of button mapping. It's inexcusable that they feel the need to stick to their guns as "the original button layout!" and i'm constantly screwing up because i'm so used to the A and B buttons being swapped. It's hurt me overall as a gamer because if I play the Switch for hours, then go back to Xbox, then i'm backwards on Xbox. I absolutely hate it.

The inability to rearrange queued downloads is awful also. Why can't I pause a large download and start a smaller one, or push one ahead in priority?

Playing Pokemon Sword, which is my first Pokemon game ever besides GO, the constant need to "connect to internet" to do things is insanely dumb. Just connect me online and keep me connected at all times until I sign out. It's not hard.

The resolution is brutal on a 55 inch 4k, i'm playing Breath of the Wild, and it's a brilliant game so far, but it looks like a 360 game and the jaggies on stuff like grass is distracting. A lot of the textures are very weak also. It seems like for a modern console, it should look better and support 4k. It's just a minor gripe, i'm not too hung up on graphics, but i'm imagining how much better it would look on PC or X1X.

No kind of party chat, or microphone support for online gaming is awful also. I have to sit there on a group phone call to talk to family when playing Switch together.

The stick controls themselves are poor, maybe i'm spoiled on the Xbox controller, but the thumbsticks could be a lot smoother, and even a bit tighter. It's taking a lot of getting used to.

I'd give it a 6/10 overall so far. If it wasn't a gift, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't pay full price for the system. I'd be more comfortable around $200.
