Nintendo’s upcoming console, widely referred to as Switch 2, seems to have had its design leaked by accessory manufacturer Dbrand. The company recently showcased a new version of its “Killswitch” case designed for the Switch 2, with images on their website revealing a 360-degree view of the device. The design includes curved Joy-Cons and new buttons, aligning with earlier leaks.
Dbrand’s CEO, Adam Ijaz, confirmed the design is based on actual dimensions obtained from a 3D scan of the hardware. He also noted that the Switch 2 is larger than the Switch OLED, measuring 27 cm wide (compared to OLED’s 24 cm) and 11.6 cm tall (OLED was 10.2 cm), while the thickness remains unchanged.
“That is correct: it is the Switch 2 with our Killswitch case on it (similar in principle to our Killswitch for the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and ROG Ally X),” said Ijaz.
A significant change is the rumored magnetic Joy-Cons, which detach via a button on the back, with Dbrand’s case tailored to accommodate this feature. Additionally, a mysterious new button labeled “C” under the home button has sparked curiosity, though its function remains unknown.
What do you think of the design—assuming it’s accurate?
