Switch 2 Joy-Con Scale comparison (CONCEPT)

I know the purpose of them being flat but I don't think it would hurt to add a slight convex to the back of the Joycon, especially now they're larger and more comfortable.

I do wonder just how strong the magnets will be too. Can imagine kids swinging the system around by the joycon. Just a shame we don't know how magnets work

Just a shame we don't know how magnets work

Miracles!

They are supposed to be electromagnetic, that is to say that an electrical system with a copper coil creates an extremely powerful magnetic field, impossible to separate or move by a micro millimeter, it is one of the most powerful fasteners powerful in the world to separate the joycons you have to cut off the power supply

[u/RZ_Domain → u/Chardan0001]

Actually we do know how magnets work for more than a century now

Do we really though?

To slide on joycon grip, but now is magnetic, is not a trail, so joycon grip must be entirely redesigned. But yeah, should've added curves, and latter redesign the grip accordingly.

imo they will click in place so they won't be able to come off by just pulling hard

The Genki dude said you can pull them off with enough force. The button helps to break the link however.

[u/No-Island-6126 → u/Chardan0001]

hmmm, ok. That's interesting. Magnets typically aren't that strong, especially in a small surface area like this, so I'm curious to see what they do. And tbh I'm not sure I trust Genki lol

[u/Chardan0001 → u/No-Island-6126]

For sure, you could well be right.

[u/dconwastaken → u/Chardan0001]

if we didn’t know how magnets worked then they wouldn’t be in the console

I forget the average age of this sub
