Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 may boast a surprising innovation: magnetically attaching Joy-Cons with potential mouse functionality, as evidenced by newly surfaced patents.
While Nintendo remains officially silent, reports and now confirmed patents detail magnetic Joy-Con attachment and intriguing mouse-like capabilities. The patent describes a controller with magnets embedded in the console's docking recess, requiring two buttons to detach the Joy-Cons. These buttons, magnetically secured, ensure a firm connection.
The patent illustrations showcase a novel use: the Joy-Cons functioning as a computer mouse. Holding the controller sideways, the R1 and R2 buttons mimic left and right clicks, with joystick manipulation potentially providing scrolling. The patent even suggests dual-mouse or hybrid configurations (one Joy-Con as a mouse, the other as a standard controller).
The magnetic attachment was an early Switch 2 leak; the mouse functionality emerged later. Interestingly, a January teaser subtly hinted at this feature, showing Joy-Cons smoothly gliding across a surface.
