Runs LVGL with ease with plenty of storage for sprites, animations and code. The display is crisp and bright with a responsive touch interface. I got one of these to develop a 'handler' watch for cosplayers and fursuiters to control electronics using ESP-NOW. Unfortunately the stack comes apart easily as the PCB is attached to the LCD backlight, which is only held on with a thin adhesive strip around the outside edge. Although stp files and dimensions are available for the module, a sample enclosure model would be beneficial as mine came apart from insertion and removal from test prints of a case. Even when in a case, if the PCB is not held absolutely firmly in place, insertion and removal of the USB cable causes the stack to come apart with the PCB and backlight falling away from the LCD, putting strain on the ribbon. Glue would fix this, however having it all glued in place whilst developing would not be ideal as any removal attempt would certainly pull the assembly apart. Perhaps WaveShare supplying the module with the PCB and display separate in the box would be better. ## Frequently Bought Together - waveshare ESP32-S3 1.69inch Touch Display Development Board, 240Γ—280 Pixels, Micro LCD Display with ESP32-S3, 262K Color, Compact Size, Accelerometer and Gyroscope Sensor - Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32 S3 Sense - 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, BLE 5.0, OV2640 Camera Sensor, Digital Microphone, 8MB PSRAM, 8MB Flash, Battery Charge Supported, Rich Interface, IoT, Embedded ML … - Waveshare ESP32-C6 1.47inch Display Development Board, 172Γ—320, 262K Color, 160MHz Running Frequency Single-Core Processor, Supports Wi-Fi 6 & BLE, with Colorful RGB LED, ESP32 with Display --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/633141288-waveshare-esp32-s3-1-69inch-touch-lcd-development-board-no](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/633141288-waveshare-esp32-s3-1-69inch-touch-lcd-development-board-no) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
