Last week the video game industry started its engines with the official announcement of Switch 2, Nintendo’s next console that promises to take a significant leap to play more demanding games and, above all, bring exclusives from the likes of Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda. . Something that stood out in the revelation video was that the Joy Con will connect with a magnet, and just recently an additional detail about these peculiar wireless controls was revealed.
Unlike the previous model, the controls incorporate a button on the back that must be pressed to separate them from the console. This mechanism activates a small trigger that disconnects an internal magnet, allowing the Joy-Con to be removed easily and safely.
The introduction of this new system could respond to criticism about the durability of the first generation. Although it has been rumored that the Joy-Con of the Switch 2 could be separated by applying force, specialists advise using the back button to avoid damage to the magnets or the docking system. This design appears to offer a more practical and robust solution, aligning with Nintendo’s philosophy of improving the user experience.
