@arstechnica Those must be some pretty powerful magnets if they can hold up the switch 2’s tablet while you handheld game. I hope the magnets are on the tablet side and not the controller side, other wise the controllers will be a lot pricier/heavier.

I also wonder if maybe you could still pair old joycons with the pair button

@arstechnica "May"? Of course no modern company is going to maintain accessory compatibility. The eWaste furnaces must be fed.

@arstechnica I could not care less what Nintendo makes. They're never getting a single dime for me ever again

@arstechnica but will they work? That would be an improvement on the current ones
