The rumor mill surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 continues to churn, with the latest leaks focusing on a potential Pro controller for the console. These leaks not only suggest upgrades over the current Switch Pro controller but also hint at the addition of two mysterious buttons, possibly indicating new functionality for the Switch 2 Joy-Cons.
Originating from a Chinese forum, the leak comes from a user claiming to be an employee at a manufacturing facility producing the new Pro controller. While the source remains anonymous, the details offer intriguing possibilities.
The leaker alleges the Switch 2 Pro controller retains the same form factor as its predecessor, but with the addition of two new buttons on the back, labeled “GL” and “GR.” The purpose of these buttons remains unclear, with speculation ranging from enhanced button mapping to entirely new functionalities.
The controller is described as having a two-tone design, featuring a black body with gray joysticks and buttons, mirroring the current Pro controller’s aesthetics. A notable addition is a 3.5mm headphone jack, a standard feature absent from the current Pro controller but present in many modern gamepad designs.
It’s crucial to approach this information with skepticism, as the leak lacks concrete evidence or supporting media. The information is sourced from an anonymous individual and has undergone translation, which can sometimes lead to misinterpretations.
As of now, Nintendo has not commented on this or any other Switch 2 leak, and it’s unlikely they will. However, if an official statement emerges, this article will be updated accordingly.
