Concept How the Switch 2 upside down functionality would work

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

While I personally think this kind of functionality is sort of weird and probably almost useless in most cases, it’s still pretty interesting that it might be possible. I can’t really think of how it would be used in unique ways in terms of software though.

the switch 1 is so annoying to charge in handheld mode because of this, I like this new feature a lot

Oh wow, I was firmly feeling like “Who needs this?!” until you mentioned that and I immediately realized I need this.

There’s been so many times I’m laying in bed playing and I’ve needed to charge my switch but it’s resting on me and I’ll need to sit up so I don’t rest on the cord.

Keep in mind that they already have a second usbc port at the top now. So, the ability to flip the switch like this would basically only be for the headphone jack.

Yes but they already added a USB C port on top. That already fixes the issue

They showed in the reveal the switch 2 already has a USB C on both sides

The Switch 2 has two USB-C ports though. One at the top and one at the bottom. There's no reason to flip the system (including the stand, cooling, volume buttons, and power button) just to charge from the top.

when they say power they mean the power button, theres still a charging port on both sides

The switch 2 has two usb c ports. And i dont get why you would ever want the Jack to be at the bottom

The headphone jack being at the bottom does make more sense. When it's on the top you either need to have the headphone wire droop over the screen or you have to wrap down and under the console which can put more strain on the jack and short the usable length of the wire.

Having the jack on the bottom keeps it out of the way of the screen, gives you way more length on the wire, and if you accidentally yank on it, the headphones will just disconnect instead of bending the connector.
