One of the major improvements from the Nintendo Switch to the Switch 2<\/strong> is the change from the fiddly, sliding Joy-Con controllers to the magnetic, snapping Joy-Con 2 controllers. Unfortunately, the strength of the Joy-Con 2\u2019s magnets is causing Switch 2 owners\u2019 fingers to get caught<\/a> between the controllers and their compatible docks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nintendo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the Joy-Cons, which users have to consciously slide onto the side of the Nintendo Switch and Joy-Con Grip, the Joy-Con 2s connect with a satisfying physical and digital snap to the Switch 2 and Joy-Con 2 Grip whenever they come within docking distance. While this alleviates some of the docking problems of the original Joy-Cons, the ease and intensity with which the Joy-Con 2s connect makes it likely for players and bystanders to get hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Switch 2 owners have reported getting pinched by the Joy-Con 2s<\/a>, with some children being injured<\/a>. Despite the Joy-Con 2 manual explicitly stating that you should be careful when using the controllers<\/a>, the danger they pose could be seen as an oversight for a console that is meant for a younger audience. While some have taken their accidents in stride, others are taking things more seriously, going so far as to think of suing Nintendo<\/a> for their console-related injuries. That said, Switch 2 owners should be mindful when connecting their Joy-Con 2s to prevent any unforeseen injuries. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
