The last few months have seen several details regarding Nintendo Switch 2 leaked and one of them have piqued everyone's interest. That is the improved Joy-Cons. This has been the most complained aspect and one of the most requested improvements people wanted in the new console, and Nintendo might be making everyone’s wishes true.
While the official announcement and feature reveal are yet to come, another rumour has claimed that the new Joy-Cons on Switch 2 will be magnetic and feature a more powerful dock. The controller sticks will also be slightly bigger and feature hall effect joysticks, which eliminates Stick Drift.
This comes from a Reddit post made by a person claiming they were able to get a look and hold the final design for Switch 2. While many would call the post a fake without any evidence, the moderator confirmed the user shared evidence in private and the claim is real as far as they can see.
All over, the big complaint was that fans wanted a much more durable Joy-Cons, considering the handheld is made for gaming. Stick Drifts are common across regular controllers and are one of the most annoying aspects that can create a lot of frustration while gaming as players are not able to properly perform actions inside a game.

An upgrade may come with an upgraded price
It’s no surprise that the Nintendo Switch 2 will likely have a higher price thanks to all the hardware upgrades, however, it changes are premium like hall effect joysticks, players can expect to pay some premium bucks for the device.
The reveal as per the leaker is in January, but the information isn’t solid at the moment. Although they did say they will be releasing images on Christmas, so there is something to look out for in a few days. Speaking of January reveal, Nvidia is also set to reveal their latest generation of RTX 50 series GPU early next month, starting with the RTX 5080.
