Fairly even, but handheld probably edges it!

Docked 99% of the time. Be interesting to see the results of this.

Always docked for Zelda and Mario but handheld for Skyrim because the novelty cant wear off.

Handheld 100%, only exception is the launch week and the Mario release week.

Handheld on my commute, docked at home, but mostly handheld.

Haven't used the dock mode since Splatoon 2 came out. Can't see myself using it docked for the foreseeable future as it's just so good as a handheld.

Docked. I don't take my switch out ever, so playing it handheld with a tiny screen over playing on a 50" screen and usually getting a game running better is borderline retarded.

Docked most of the time. 65" inch screen at home is a no brainer for me.

I guess that portable mode usage just about edges out docked mode for me.

If I’m playing Kart or Rocket League with other GRcadians then I play on the TV but most other times I use portable mode. I have never used tabletop mode and barely ever removed the joycon!

It’s great to have the option to play in either docked or portable modes. Until trying it out I hadn’t appreciated how neat that is.

I'd use table top mode if you could adjust the angle of the stand, but I find it too upright to be useable.

What I'd also like to know is, is anyone else now playing with split joycons most of the time? It took me a couple of hours to get used to this in Mario O but now I don't see the need to go back and attach them to a piece of plastic that effectively glues my hands together. It's such a relaxing way to play - reminds me of wii-mote and nunchuck.
