The Joy-Con 2 controllers now connect via magnets and can be detached using a release button on the back. The SL and SR buttons on the side have been enlarged for better gameplay in horizontal mode, and the left and right sticks are also larger. Additionally, this segment officially introduced mouse control support within the Joy-Con controllers.

The handheld version of the Switch 2 includes a built-in microphone with noise-canceling technology and supports 3D audio for compatible games. It also features a larger, more robust stand that can be adjusted to various heights. There's a top USB port that can be used for external camera connectivity or to charge the system while in tabletop mode.
