Use both hands to control two Mouse Controllers

Snap the new Joy-Con 2 controllers into place with magnetic connectors. Each controller can even be used as a mouse in compatible games. Both Joy-Con 2 controllers can be used for mouse controls at the same time, opening up new ways to play—like using both hands to control two mouse controllers simultaneously.

Use it like a Mouse

The mouse sensor on the side of each Joy-Con 2 controller lets you turn surfaces like a table or your lap into a mouse pad. Only in compatible games.

Say “hello” to GameChat

Start a chat with friends at any time using the C Button! Share your game screen while chatting to show what you’re up to. And for a more personal touch, connect face-to-face with the Nintendo Switch 2 camera or other compatible USB-C camera (each sold separately).

New stand with a freely adjustable viewing angle

Place your Nintendo Switch 2 however you like in tabletop mode using a large, stable stand. With 150 degrees of freedom, you can always find a comfortable viewing angle. Perfect for playing together! The top of the system now has a USB-C port, in addition to one on the bottom. Plug in the included AC adapter and play in tabletop mode while the system charges.

Nintendo Switch 2 can transform to suit your game style. Just like previous Nintendo Switch systems, you can enjoy your games anytime, anywhere in TV mode, tabletop mode, or handheld mode.

Powerful processing and immersive graphics
