"Abxylute, the company behind the M4 magnetic mobile gamepad, has announced a new pair of controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 designed to replace the stock Joy-Cons while playing in handheld mode. Both are "launching soon" on Kickstarter and feature a design where the Switch 2 docks to the controllers so they can connect to and draw power from the console's bottom USB-C port."
"Pricing details aren't known for either controller, but the N9C will feature capacitive joysticks, ABXY buttons and triggers that use mechanical micro-switches, and a dedicated C button for accessing GameChat. Its button layout mirrors the original GameCube controller, so the N9C may only appeal to nostalgic gamers who regularly play the small lineup of GC titles added to Nintendo Switch Online last year, or Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans who still prefer Nintendo's 25-year-old controller."
Abxylute announced two controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 aimed at replacing stock Joy-Cons in handheld mode. Both controllers dock to the console and draw power from the Switch 2's bottom USB-C port and will launch on Kickstarter. The N9C uses a GameCube-like layout with capacitive joysticks, mechanical micro-switch triggers, ABXY buttons, and a dedicated C button for GameChat; the right stick has a swappable gate that limits movement to eight directions for more precise fighting-game inputs. The N6 uses an asymmetrical layout with Hall-effect, drift-resistant joysticks, thicker grips, digital triggers, rubber-membrane ABXY buttons, programmable back buttons, and a resonance chamber that boosts lower frequencies by about 10 percent.
