In the video, the trigger is pressed down a tad before a final push releases it from the console. As the Joy-Con moves away, you can also see a small cylinder receding back into t

However, a video does show off the large button on the back of the new Joy-Cons on the official Nintendo Switch 2 website. Originally discovered and shared on r/NintendoSwitch2, the looping clip reveals that pressing this button down is what disengages either Joy-Con from the handheld.

Similar to the first iteration of Joy-Cons, hitting a dedicated button will detach the controller. It's not entirely clear which mechanical function this button affects, but judging by the design of the Switch 2, the animation suggests that the magnetic charge is switched off.

The arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 heralds some much-needed improvements over its predecessor, especially its Joy-Con controllers. Here’s a quick breakdown of what the announcement trailer showed us about the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons.

As it turns out, one of the defining upgrades of the Nintendo Switch 2 is actually an old concept developed for the original Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo’s short video offers a closer look at the Switch 2 Joy-Con, showcasing how the controller works and attaches to the console.

IT之家注意到，在视频中，当按压该按钮时， 可以看到控制器内部的一个小圆柱体随之缩回顶部 。这一设计似乎表明，该按钮实际上是通过推动圆柱体来帮助 Joy-Con 从主机上弹出。这一机制与配件制造商 Genki 在 CES 展会上展示的 3D 打印模型中的设计颇为相似。

Perhaps more importantly, the video shows the Joy-Con clicking onto a separate piece before going into mouse mode. This other piece looks like it has some small pads on the bottom, like a computer mouse would, to make it a little easier to slide around.
