Switch 2 Patents Seemingly Confirm Mouse Functionality Rumors
Nintendo hasn’t revealed much about its upcoming Switch 2 console Since last month Show trailerleaving leaks and rumors to fill the gap. However, a new patent strongly suggests that the rumored feature — using a joy controller like a computer mouse — may appear in the Switch 2 after all.
Both new patents are released today, with a series of detailed drawings showing the Switch 2 and its joy instrument, in various positions. this The first patent Explain how a “novel input device” (Joy-Con controller) is used as a mouse (as translated by Google Translate). While not directly confirming that the Switch 2 will let you use its Joy-Con (such as a computer mouse), it shows how much Nintendo has invested and is likely to include it in the final console.
Some drawings from the first patent show joy-con, with the inside facing down and one hand placed, making the fingers curl on the side buttons – when oriented this way, they surely look like mouse buttons. Regarding the patent’s superclinical language, these descriptions detail how light enters the sensor inside the Joy-Con, probably just like how modern optical computer mice operate.
Perhaps the most attractive thing is that other drawings show two joy-cons in the mouse direction of a single user, while another diagram shows the user who is usually using another joy-con in the mouse direction. While previous rumors about this feature suggest that this might make the Switch 2 more suitable for game types that require a mouse, such as strategy and MOBA, Nintendo wants players to use two Joy-Con mice right away, suggesting that the new console may There are some of the companies that use the famous (and singular) control inputs of Minigames 1-2 switch To Zany’s creations Nintendo and the others.
Patent No. 2: Joy-Con magnet and potential charging terminal
this Second patent Details how the new Joy-Cons connect to Switch 2- and aligns with previous rumors, and details how the magnets connect the controller to the console. Interestingly, the patent shows that the magnets are inside the console and attract buttons on the side of the Joy-Con (when the controller holds the controller with both hands, they become shoulder buttons).
These drawings and descriptions detail how to slide the bumper with belt on your wrist onto the new controller when holding the Joy-Con Solo.
But the most exciting revelation in the second patent is at the end of the drawing: a charging rack or dock that allows users to fill two joyous instruments without having to attach them to the console. Patent details also indicate that the dock can have wireless capability to connect to the controller.
Since Nintendo did not publish any specification information when it introduced the Switch 2, these patents are the most formal sources of information on the new console we have discovered. Nintendo plans to fully reveal game consoles Nintendo direct sales on April 2.
