One of the biggest improvements to the Nintendo Switch 2 has been the bigger and better-feeling Joy-Con 2 controllers, but fans (especially children) might want to be careful when using them, as some players are reporting they are receiving minor injuries because of the new magnetic-grip design. The Joy-Con 2 controllers have a few upgrades over their predecessor, like somewhat restrictive mouse functionality, larger sticks, and improved gyro, but overall, they're not particularly different at their core. The way they come on and off, however, may be causing some problems.

As reported by Automation MEDIA, the Switch 2 Joy-Cons are apparently causing some pinches and minor injuries to users. There is a very small, narrow gap between the controllers and the console itself in both handheld and docked modes. That small gap is necessary for the magnets to attach and detach horizontally, but some players are reporting that they are accidentally hurting themselves.

The prospect of injuries, while minor, should alert fans to be careful when pushing the button on the Joy-Cons to detach the controllers from the controller grip when playing in docked mode or from the console itself when playing in handheld mode....
