New Joy-Cons
Perhaps the biggest change that we've seen rumored is how the Joy-Con controllers connect to the body of the Switch 2.
Instead of the current rail system, instead the new controllers would slot into the console and hold with electromagnetic connectors.
Videos of the dummy models have shown what appears to be a locking mechanism that ensures you can't just knock the controller off the console.
Additionally, with the increase in size of the console, it appears the Joy-Cons will also increase in size. A nice upgrade for those with larger hands, though even smaller hands could get cramped when holding a single Joy-Con.
