Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller Leak Reveals New Buttons and Upgrades

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve seen more console rumors than I care to remember. Yet, the latest Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller leak has piqued my interest, if only slightly.

Speculation and leaks about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 persist across various online platforms. The most recent chatter revolves around a potential new Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller. It’s said that this controller might not only boast upgrades over the current Nintendo Switch Pro controller, but also two enigmatic buttons. These additional buttons could be intended for the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons.

Similar to numerous past rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2, this latest speculation originates from China, posted by a forum member who alleges to work at a factory producing not the Nintendo Switch 2 itself, but rather the advanced Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller.

Based on an unidentified source’s claim, the design of the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller is identical to that of the current Nintendo Switch Pro controller. However, what sets it apart are two new buttons located at the back: GL and GR. The purpose of these buttons remains unknown. It is plausible that they might serve as additional buttons for advanced button mapping, but this is merely conjecture.

The controller features a predominantly black body, contrasting with its gray joysticks and buttons. This creates a dual-toned aesthetic reminiscent of the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller’s design.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve recently noticed something quite peculiar – my latest gaming device lacks a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, which is quite common in contemporary video game controllers. To my surprise, even the high-end Nintendo Switch Pro Controller seems to have overlooked this feature.

Of course, take all of this information with a grain of salt. This leak is not accompanied by any proof or accompanying media like some previous Nintendo Switch 2 leaks, making its claims all the more dubious. In other words, remember this is not official news, but unofficial intel from an anonymous source. Further, it comes through translations, and sometimes vital meaning and context is lost in translation.

Currently, Nintendo hasn’t responded to the recent rumor about a potential leak in any way. Given their past behavior, it’s unlikely they will break this trend, as they haven’t commented on previous leaks about the Nintendo Switch 2, even significant ones. If they do decide to speak up, we’ll make sure to update our story.
