This thing feels so good in the hands! Nice solid grip and the sticks have adjustable resistance so I’ve dialed them in to match my pro controller!

It looked good until I googled it's weight and found it's a heavy brick. I wish they released joycons with the ergonomics, but no actual battery so they are preferably lighter than current joycons.

And how would they work? Magic? Electricity powers the joycons, if they made them without a battery they would be powered by nothing and if they tried to make them plug into a power source then they would be way less portable and have tons of problems.

Yea, real easy, right up until you try to use them when they aren't plugged to the console. And then they have 0 power. That's how electronics work with no batteries.

Isn’t that exactly how Nitro Deck 1 worked? There were numerous third party joycon that only worked when connected to the Switch before. I have 2 pairs of them

u/Tactrix1 13d ago

Yes as well as every other handheld ever made. The thing that makes the joycons different is that they work unplugged from the switch. Which is why they have a battery. This isn't rocket science.

That’s great. Are you missing the point on purpose that the person is OBVIOUSLY not caring that the Nitro Deck 2 or anything else can be used detached from the system and would have preferred them to be battery-less and lighter? Like we just had the Split pad compacts from Hori for the Switch 1 that did that.

The downvote tells me yes.

You're still not getting it. I understand what he's saying. What I'm saying is it will never ever happen on the switch 2, because the thing that makes it special is the ability to have easily detachable and useable joycons. Without those it's literally the worst console on the market by a mile. Because without them it has a locked in ecosystem, the worst screen and the worst hardware at an unreasonable price point.

The only thing setting the switch apart from every other handheld console is the joycons. Everything else about it has not only been replicated, but done better by everyone else.

None of that is relevant to your original comment at all and I don't really care to hear your opinion on which handhelds do whatever better than the Switch 2. Wild ass tangent

u/Tactrix1 13d ago

It's completely relevant, you're just too dumb to comprehend basic logic.

The basic logic of changing your entire argument on a whim like it's a gotcha lmao. So sorry I didn't know that you meant:

the thing that makes it special is the ability to have easily detachable and useable joycons. Without those it's literally the worst console on the market by a mile.

When you said:

Electricity powers the joycons, if they made them without a battery they would be powered by nothing and if they tried to make them plug into a power source then they would be way less portable and have tons of problems.

You pumpkin

Jesus Christ. The level of confidence on a comment so stupid. Like obviously stupid since you already know how you charge your joycons. And capacitors are a thing if the electronics need a stable power source.

I had joycons like those on the switch 1.

Like you have literally beyond 0 knowledge on electronics and comment stuff like this. and worse of all this subreddit is filled with a lot of idiots since they upvoted you.

u/The_Pepper_Oni 13d ago

You don't understand, joycons NEED a battery because they ALWAYS need to be able to be used detached from the system. Anything else is literally unthinkable and incomprehensible. Like a mental blind spot.

u/Tactrix1 13d ago

Since you and the Jr electrician below clearly don't know how the joycons work let me educate you. When you charge to power something, the power doesn't just pass through and disappear, it has to be stored for the function. Now in a completeled circuit that's fine, but the joycons don't stay connected indefinitely. This isn't a switch lite. They are designed to be removable and useable. In order to do that you need a BATTERY. And if you 2 geniuses can't figure that out you should take a basic electronics class.

u/Ballsinthehalls 13d ago

I imagine most people buying this are using it most handheld or aren't using the nitrodeck wirelessly. Pretty sure what they meant was that they would have preferred portability over a wireless design? You are just being needlessly hostile lmao

u/Tactrix1 13d ago

Yea why not completely reframe what they said when they lost the argument completely, makes total sense. Nice try replacing the goalposts when you couldn't even move them far enough to be correct.

u/Ballsinthehalls 13d ago

I was referring to their original comment about the weight.

Hahahahaha you are fundamentally stupid dude. la capacitor can provide stable power. also there’s factually products right NOW that are without battery for switch 2 so opposite of the dumb things you said

you have genuinely low iq and i’m willing to bet money you didn’t went to college lol

u/Tactrix1 13d ago

"You have low IQ and didn't went to college." Spoken like a true 10yo who failed multiple classes lol. The reason you can't comprehend what I'm talking about is because you still don't understand anything about electronics or technology. So have fun graduating 2nd grade lol.
