Nintendo patents show that Switch 2 Joy-Con actually works like a mouse-thus may be a new control unit


The newly-published Ninodo Patents shows that the company has explored a version of the Joy-Con control units that can work like a computer mouse, a feature that has not been hinting that will come to Switch 2. Nintendo has offered Joy-Con sliding along the Earth, just as you move the mouse.

But mouse -like functions may not be limited to joy only: the patents also appear that Nintendo has explored the addition of mouse -like functions to a division control unit with a larger and more traditional grip.

the pictures In a patent Show a horizontal detained joy, facing SR and SL buttons down, and the person’s thumb on control sticks. This appears to indicate that the visual sensor will face down so that you can keep the control unit transfer to a surface like a mouse.

Another image shows that the left joy is used in a straight position while the right Joy-One is used in this mouse mode-imagine WASD, but with the switching units. In the automatic translation of the patent, which is in Japanese, the term “mouse operating sensor” shows 28 times, indicating that there will be a technique inside the control units that make it work like a mouse.

Joy-Con Sequaked rumors have been rumored for a while, but I was wondering whether this job would be translated into a more standard control unit or how. Depending on the patent graphics, Nintendo designed a divided console with a more traditional control unit, and it seems that at least the right side of the surface control unit can be placed like a mouse.

Another patent He explains that these Joy-Con will be able to open it in the association of a wrist belt similar to the original switch. The automatic translation of that innocence includes the word “Magnet” 355 times, which seems to indicate that the wrist belt can hang a magnetic on Joy-Con. I think this means that Joy-Con themselves can also comment on the Switch 2 unit as well. Who is popular.

This second patent also appears to appear to be a type of control unit berth where Joy-Con can be placed and fees on it.

The patents are not always translated directly into actual charging products, so these designs that have been explored Nintendo are likely to be not followed. But given the rumors about this technology, the Nintendo hints in the same direction, there is a good opportunity to offer this early look at how some new features of Switch 2 work.

Nintendo has been set for version Switch 2 At some point in 2025, the company plans to unveil more Switch 2 control unit that focuses on Nintendo Direct On April 2 And make preparations to try Meet the request.
