Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con Innovation Revealed

New Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Patents Reveal Magnetic Attachment and Mouse Functionality

While Nintendo remains officially silent, recent patent filings strongly suggest significant changes to the Switch 2's Joy-Cons. Reports of magnetic attachment and mouse functionality are now virtually confirmed by these patents.

The patents describe a game controller with magnetic mounting to the Switch 2 console. The text specifies: "This game controller is detachably mounted to a body device that has a recess, that comprises a first magnet and a second magnet at the bottom of the recess, and that can execute game processing." Detachment requires pressing two buttons, each magnetically attracted to a corresponding magnet within the console's recess.

Patent illustrations depict innovative mouse functionality. Holding the Joy-Con sideways, the R1 and R2 buttons function as left and right mouse clicks, with joystick movements potentially providing scrolling. The patents showcase both dual-mouse and hybrid configurations (one Joy-Con as a mouse, the other as a standard controller).

The magnetic attachment was an early Switch 2 leak, while the mouse feature emerged later. A January teaser subtly hinted at this functionality, showing Joy-Cons smoothly moving across a surface.

For a comprehensive overview of the Nintendo Switch 2, consult our detailed analysis. Mark your calendars for April 2nd, 2025, when Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct will unveil official details.
