One of the latestNintendo Switch 2rumors suggests that the Joy-Cons for the new console will not suffer from the stick drift issue that plagues the existing one. TheNintendo Switch 2still has not been officially revealed by Nintendo, but that hasn’t stopped all kinds of supposed leaks about the device from hitting the internet.
TheNintendo Switch 2 leaks have claimed to show the console itself, indicating that the device is essentially what many have expected: an iteration on the Switch concept with more power and better graphics. Switch 2 leaks have also claimed that the console will use magnetized Joy-Cons, which should be an interesting spin on the existing Joy-Con controllers.
It’s now being claimed that the magnetized Switch 2 controllers will not suffer from stick drift. As many Nintendo Switch owners have come to find out, the console’s Joy-Cons are susceptible to stick drift issues, a problem that seems to plague modern gaming hardware in general. This information comes from a Reddit user who has claimed to have seen the Switch 2 console and has seemingly backed up their claims with enough evidence to convince the mods that they aren’t just making things up. According to them,as reported by VGC, the Switch 2 Joy-Cons will use “Hall effect joysticks” which should eliminate the stick drift issue.

Withstick drift such an annoying problem for Switch owners, it would be fantastic if the successor console fixes the issue. However, fans should take all claims about the Nintendo Switch 2 and its features with a massive grain of salt. Nintendo has confirmed that the Switch 2 is on the way, but it otherwise hasn’t revealed much about the console in an official capacity.
While Nintendo has not properly unveiled the Switch 2 to the masses yet, it has confirmed a few interesting details about the device. According to Nintendo itself,the Switch 2 will be backward compatiblewith the original Switch, meaning it will have access to that console’s vast library of games from the get-go. Not only that, but Nintendo Switch Online is expected to transfer to the Switch 2. We also know that the Switch 2 will be unveiled within the next four months, so fans will soon have concrete answers about the console and its capabilities.
Otherrumors about the Switch 2 claimthat the console’s release date will be in March with the reveal happening in January. The uptick of Switch 2 accessory leaks definitely seems to point to the console launching sooner rather than later, but again, fans shouldn’t get their hopes up.
