Genki at CES 2025: A Closer Look at the Nintendo Switch 2 Mockup
Genki, known for its gaming accessories, unveiled a 3D-printed Nintendo Switch 2 mockup at CES 2025, revealing intriguing details about the upcoming console. This model, reportedly based on a black market acquisition, accurately reflects the Switch 2's dimensions, showcasing key design changes.
The mockup highlighted a larger form factor, approaching the size of the Valve Steam Deck. Most striking were the seemingly magnetic Joy-Cons, a second USB-C port, and an enigmatic "C" button. Genki CEO Eddie Tsai confirmed the magnetic Joy-Con design in an interview with The Verge. He explained that the SL and SR buttons utilize magnets, released by a pin mechanism within each Joy-Con. Despite the change from sliding rails, the Joy-Cons remain securely attached during gameplay.

The Joy-Cons also feature integrated optical sensors, suggesting potential functionality as a mouse, possibly through a new accessory. Leaked Switch 2 images seem to corroborate the presence of these sensors.
Interestingly, while the Switch 2 is slim enough to physically fit into the existing Switch dock, its design prevents compatibility. The precise function of the additional USB-C port and the "C" button remains a mystery, even to Genki.
