Any word yet on what the joystick tech will be? Mouse operation is all very interesting but drift is my main concern for the new joycons.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

There is absolutely no reason in a fair and just world why my Pro Controller wouldn’t be able to sync to the Switch 2. So foolishly assuming we live in a fair and just world, I’m probably never going to use the Joycons ever.

I haven't seen anything official, but rumors are suggesting Hall Effect joysticks.

Nintendo playing against type on that one then. They tend to go for the cheapest worst option.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Well the warranty repairs and replacements certainly weren't free. Hall effect may be the cheapest option. Especially at their manufacturing scale.

Any word on the screen? Would be sad if it wasn't OLED but it wouldn't surprise me if they wanted to cut cost for the base model.

It's actually just leftover 3DS screens.

Stereoscopic 3D would be awesome. I loved it on the 3DS.

I mean the latest version of the Switch 1 went OLED. It’d be weird if v2 downgraded from that.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 10 points 14 hours ago

V2 switch was LCD just like V1 with no physically obvious changes. Only the OLED model was OLED
