Switch 2 will feature Joy-Con controllers that connect to the main console using magnets, a new report suggests. Citing…

    They still could have it on rails, just use magnets to secure rather than a latch that can get stuck or broken as easily. I would worry more that magnets = no Hall effect joysticks.

      As if they were willing to give up that revenue stream in any case. It makes them too much money.

        Original switch user…zero drift, never dropped or had controllers just fall out.

        The fuck are people doing?

          Also no drift!

          …but I’ve only used my joycons for maybe an hour total, I can’t stand them. Love the pro controller though!

              Dualsense is my fave! Especially in games where the triggers and haptics work (I play everything on the computer now.) Pacific Drive and Returnal make excellent use of the haptics and triggers.

          I barely used my joycons, but I had drift. I don’t think I was misusing them, I only used them when mobile, and that was infrequent. And yet they drifted.

          I replaced the sticks with Hall effect sticks, and they’ve been fine since.

          You just got lucky, I guess. Or maybe you don’t use the joycons as much? I had to send my joycons back because of drift 3 times. Joycons aren’t full on falling out, but one of them will come out without pressing the button. Kickstand is also pretty useless, falls out from a tiny bit of pressure.
