@gedeonm@mastodon.social They don’t slide into/fit in it. But can be used as Bluetooth controllers.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social Only thing the new pro controllers really have are customizable GL/GR buttons — otherwise everything works as it did with the OG Switch!

@gedeonm@mastodon.social yep. Although, if you have a Switch 1 Pro Controller, it works perfectly fine but will not remotely turn the Switch 2 on. You gotta power the console on then connect the controller. Mildly annoying but not enough to drop £75 on a Switch 2 Pro Controller

Sorry I should’ve clarified. I don’t mean the stupid Joycons. I mean the ProControllers I’ve invested in over the years.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social yes Switch pro controllers (and joycons) work on Switch 2. Only difference I found is that you can’t power on the Switch 2 with the old pro controller. Have played a lot of Mario Kart and old controllers work perfectly otherwise.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social yes but it can’t wake the system from sleep - I will say the new ones are very nice and worth getting at least one

@gedeonm@mastodon.social yes they do! Even the third party pro controller that my wife bought for her Switch works on the Switch 2
