Everything you need to know about the new Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con, and how they compare to the old not-so-reliables.

For one, Nintendo promised "a closer look at Switch 2" in a Direct video presentation scheduled for April 2. It would be a little weird for that "closer look" to come after the console itself was launched, so a launch before April seems out of the question.

Perhaps more importantly, the video shows the Joy-Con clicking onto a separate piece before going into mouse mode. This other piece looks like it has some small pads on the bottom, like a computer mouse would, to make it a little easier to slide around.

Nintendo has been showing off the new back button of the Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers and how it works ever since the first official reveal, it's just been hiding on the official Nintendo Switch 2 website this entire time.

Nintendo’s short video offers a closer look at the Switch 2 Joy-Con, showcasing how the controller works and attaches to the console.
