Nintendo has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 controllers have been redesigned, hopefully to avoid potential stick operation.
During an exclusive hands-on preview of Nintendo Switch 2, Techradar Gaming Technology Development Division General Manager Tetsuya Sasaki asked if any improvements have been made to prevent Joy-Con Stick Operation.
Sasaki replied and confirmed that the new Magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers have been completely redesigned to smoother gameplay.
“The new Joy-Con 2 controllers are designed from the bottom of. They are designed to have bigger and smoother movement,” Sasaki said.
The Nintendo team did not offer any details, but according to our hardware editor Rhys Wood, there is a noticeable improvement of the Joy-Con 2 thumbsticks and they “feel much smoother and less grainy than the previous model”.
If you own a Nintendo -Switch, you may be familiar with the dreaded stick operation that may occur after using the console for a long time. Hearing that Joy-Con 2 controllers have been improved gives me hope that I don’t have to invest in another couple after just a few years of use.
