- Nintendo Switch 2 users are reporting pinched fingers from Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons.
- The magnets are strong enough to cause minor injuries, especially in children.
- Nintendo was aware of this and included a warning in the Joy-Con 2 instruction manual.
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons might not have Hall Effect sticks, but the magnetic attachments are generally considered a highlight of the new design. However, users are reporting that the magnets are so strong that they’re pinching fingers, causing minor injuries.
Most of the reports are coming from Japan (via Automaton), but several users on Reddit have suffered the same fate. Essentially, holding the Joy-Cons with your finger overlapping the edge risks getting pinched between the Joy-Con and the console. The same is true when attaching the Joy Cons to the controller accessory, which also features magnets.
