Which Nintendo DS do you have, if any?

My first ever Nintendo was a DS Lite! I used it until the hinges were loose and everything terribly scratched (I was very young and didn’t really take care of things). I then bought a DSi with pocket money I had saved up. Later I got a 3DS XL to buy the new games. All three of these still work and by now I have two more DS Lites because I love buying broken ones and refurbishing and fixing them myself 😊 the intention was to sell them again but somehow they are still in my drawer. I also plan on buying a 3DS and fixing it up, it’s just a fun hobby for me! I love tinkering with technology.
 
I’ve had way too many. Over the years I’ve had the DS Lite, original 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, DSi XL, original DSi, and finally the New 3DS XL in that order. The DS Lite had by far the best battery life, but I still think the New 3DS XL is the best one. It can run some games faster, has face tracking 3D, faster download speeds, a second analog stick substitute that helped with camera control in some games, bigger screen, and a much more comfortable grip. Some even had nicer IPS screens too. Going back to other DS systems feels like such a downgrade for those reasons. Whenever I play on my DSi my hands get super uncomfortable, but I’ve never had that issue with the New 3DS XL.
 
I've got a lovely crusty little rose gold DS (the hinges are barely holding on), and a New Nintendo 3DS XL that has a slightly broken touch screen, so here's my artist rendering of how it's broken:

if I draw or type anything in that side area it gets pushed outward, creating a line 😢
it also means that when I want to type the letter A I have to go into the weird mobile dialing keyboard thing and press 1
