Unveiling the Nintendo Switch 2: Genki's CES Mockup Reveals Key Details

Genki, a prominent handheld gaming accessory developer, showcased a 3D-printed Nintendo Switch 2 mockup at CES 2025, revealing several key features. This model, reportedly based on a black market acquisition, provided precise dimensions and highlighted significant design changes.

The mockup confirmed speculation surrounding magnetic Joy-Con controllers. Genki CEO Eddie Tsai confirmed the use of magnets for the SL and SR buttons, employing a pin release mechanism for detachment. Despite the magnetic design, the Joy-Con remain securely attached during gameplay.

Furthermore, the Joy-Con incorporate optical sensors, hinting at potential functionality as mouse-like input devices via a yet-to-be-released accessory. Leaked images appear to corroborate this feature.

While larger than its predecessor, the Switch 2 maintains a slim profile, fitting within the existing Switch dock. However, design modifications prevent compatibility. The purpose of a new "C" button and additional USB-C port remain undisclosed.
