So, I've been MIA for a few months. I got bored this evening and grabbed my pi gear. I have an official Pi display ad pi3 and a "Smart Pi Touch" housing... in hand, this thing feels about the same size as the switch though a little thicker. If it has some controllers on the side (making it just a hair wider) this thing could be a really good portable. There is plenty of room in the back for a battery and a couple small speakers.

Anyone good at planning and drafting?

I was thinking about this too. Switch has 7 inch screen, so the size is perfect. However I am not sure how that official screen perform. I had 3.5inch touch screen for Raspberry and it was horrible for running retro pie. I mean, I wasn't able to run retropie at all, only raspbian which was slow.

There are some 1024x600 hdmi 7inch screens available for a good price, they might work better. They run on 5-12V.

the official pi touchscreen is as good as using HDMI!! its the 3.5" screens that use the gpio pins you want to avoid

Yeah, the official display is FAST. RetroPie doesn't have touch support but as a display is great!

Actually, grab two of these or something like them and you have the controls for said "Pi Switch".
