Nintendo Switch 2 Controllers and Joy-Cons

The Nintendo Switch 2 controller lineup offers flexible options for every type of gamer. At its core are the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 controllers and the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, both designed to fit your preferred style whether in handheld, TV mode, or multiplayer mode.

What Sets the  Joy-Con 2 Apart

The redesigned Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 controllers deliver major usability upgrades. They’re about an inch longer than the originals, providing a more comfortable grip, especially beneficial during extended handheld play. The expanded analog sticks and slightly larger buttons reduce wrist strain and improve accuracy, even when using a single Joy-Con 2 controller for multiplayer.

Magnetic attachments now replace the old slide rails, so Joy-Con 2 controllers snap securely into place and detach with a satisfying “thunk,” offering tactile confidence and making tabletop play feel more solid.

Inside, stronger HD Rumble tech delivers richer vibration feedback akin to “GameCube levels,” while the magnetic grips significantly improve the connection’s strength.

GameChat and Mouse Mode: Built-In Firsts

On the  Joy-Con 2 controller right side sits a new “C” button, which launches Nintendo’s innovative GameChat voice/video chat feature for group calls via a built-in microphone and optional webcam.

Another standout feature is mouse mode, enabled by the right Joy-Con 2 controller. Turn it on its side and use it like a cursor for select games, ideal for strategies or navigation-heavy titles like Civilization 7 or Cyberpunk 2077.

Battery life has been boosted to around 20 hours per Joy-Con 2 controller, and they recharge by snapping onto the console or using third-party charging docks.

Experience Classic Comfort with the Pro Controller

The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller remains Nintendo’s full-sized option, ideal for long gaming sessions. It features familiar, ergonomic design, precise buttons, and upgraded joysticks. It also includes an audio jack and two customizable grip buttons for enhanced gameplay flexibility.

Accessories That Enhance Play

• The Joy-Con 2 strap clips on for secure motion-control sessions. Perfect for games like Super Mario Party Jamboree or party titles.
• The Joy-Con 2 wheel transforms your Joy-Con 2 controller into a steering wheel, offering immersive control in racing games like Mario Kart World.
• The Joy-Con 2 grip merges two Joy-Con 2 controllers into a single controller shell, great for longer handheld or docked sessions without needing the Pro Controller.

Choosing the Right Setup

• Families: Multiple Joy-Con 2 controllers mean spontaneous multiplayer fun.
• Solo players: The Pro Controller’s comfort and battery life make it ideal for extended adventures.
• Racing fans: The Joy-Con 2 wheel adds realism to your sessions.

With the redesigned ergonomics, new GameChat feature, magnetic snap-in system, and mouse-mode functionality, the Nintendo Switch 2  Joy-Con 2 controllers and controller ecosystem offer comfort, versatility, and social connectivity, enabling every gamer to play their way.
