Use both hands to control two Mouse Controllers

The mouse sensor on the side of each Joy-Con 2 controller lets you turn surfaces like a table or your lap into a mouse pad. Only in compatible games.

Say "hello" to GameChat

Start a chat with friends at any time using the C Button! Share your game screen while chatting to show what you're up to. And for a more personal touch, connect face-to-face with the Nintendo Switch 2 camera or other compatible USB-C camera (each sold separately).

New stand with a freely adjustable viewing angle

Place your Nintendo Switch 2 however you like in tabletop mode using a large, stable stand. With 150 degrees of freedom, you can always find a comfortable viewing angle. Perfect for playing together! The top of the system now has a USB-C port, in addition to one on the bottom. Plug in the included AC adapter and play in tabletop mode while the system charges.
