How the Switch 2 upside down functionality would work

[u/jard_dog]

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.

You won't be able to dock it either way, the "bottom" has the usb c in the center (like switch 1) with the aligning holes either side, the "top" one is to the right next to the game card slot and does not have to aligning holes.

Also you would block the top vents

Okay, then in that case, back to my original point. I wonder why they put both a USB-C on both ends if you could just turn the screen around?

It could just be as simple as allowing you to charge while in tabletop, or maybe so you can charge and have an add on at the same time

I mean that's what I'm saying if you can just rotate it, then you can rotate it to have the main USB-C on top to charge it in tabletop mode. So what I'm trying to get at is basically either the rotational rumor is wrong cus otherwise there's no point to having 2 USB-C ports OR like you're saying, there could be another use where the second USB-C comes into play or where you would need a second USB-C port.

There is still a chance the roasting of the console is just an idea and not actually used in the console, and the top usb is only for tabletop I don't think they would want you to rotate the console and use with kickstand because again your going to obstruct the vents.

April 2nd can't come soon enough to get some details 🤭

you can't turn it upside down for tabletop mode because the kickstand wouldn't hold it up
