Nintendo confirms with a patent the new functionality of the Switch 2 joy-con

Nintendo has officially announced the arrival of the Switch 2, scheduled to launch in several months. This new console will feature a larger screen and significant improvements in its controls, the Joy-Con. Although the exact details are yet to be confirmed, the recent trailer has hinted at innovations that promise to change the way players interact with the system.

The Most Revolutionary Feature: Controllers That Are Also Mice

One of the most exciting features of the Switch 2 Joy-Con is their potential to function as a mouse. They are expected to have an optical sensor that detects changes in reflected light, allowing for precise movements over a surface. This could offer players a more versatile and dynamic experience across multiple game genres. Through this technology, one Joy-Con could be used traditionally while the other is operated like a mouse, thus expanding the available control options.

In addition to the innovative functionality of the optical sensor, the new Joy-Con are expected to include features such as HD vibration, gyroscopes, accelerometers, LED light for notifications, and NFC communication in the right Joy-Con. These improvements should make the gaming experience more immersive and technological.

Likewise, rumors indicate that the Pro Controller could have the ability to split into two parts that would magnetically join, allowing its use as a mouse. However, this feature has not yet been confirmed by Nintendo. As the launch approaches, the company is expected to reveal more information about the Switch 2 and its new features, keeping the excitement among console fans alive.
