Genki at CES 2025: A Closer Look at the Nintendo Switch 2 Mockup

Genki, renowned for its handheld gaming accessories, unveiled a 3D-printed Nintendo Switch 2 mockup at CES 2025, revealing key design features and confirming several circulating rumors. The mockup, reportedly based on a black market unit, accurately reflects the Switch 2's dimensions, showcasing a larger form factor approaching the size of the Valve Steam Deck.

Key features highlighted include magnetic Joy-Con controllers with integrated optical sensors, a second USB-C port, and an enigmatic "C" button. Genki CEO Eddie Tsai confirmed the magnetic attachment of the Joy-Con, explaining a release mechanism involving pins and magnets. Despite the magnetic design, the Joy-Con remain secure during gameplay.

The optical sensors on the Joy-Con suggest potential functionality as mouse-like input devices, possibly via a new accessory. Leaked images seem to corroborate the presence of these sensors. While the Switch 2 is slim enough to fit within the existing Switch dock, design differences render it incompatible. The purpose of the additional USB-C port and the "C" button remains unknown.
