I think the magnetics would make sure that you can’t connect it in a wrong way anyway even if you would try it. Also i’m sure it’s a bit like how the dock works on switch 1. That wasn’t an issue as well, isn’t it?

Cannot wait for outrage farms to deliberately break these on launch day so my YouTube feed can be clogged up with their open-mouth thumbnails. Good stuff.

I’m much less concerned about this than I was about the rails for the Switch when it was announced.

For all we know there could be a first party accessory to cover them when the joycons are disconnected if not they’re be a third party one

The way it snaps into place looks pretty sturdy. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Reddit post becomes article which then becomes reddit post again.

My number 1 concern is just being able to get my hands on it lmao.
I’m much more concerned about scalpers in my area than I am the connector. I went to Target today for something and was blown away by the line of people there for Pokemon cards.
(Although depending on it’s construction I can understand the concern with the connector when it comes to families with young children.)

I mean, it should be made of Nintendium, right? With tested durability?

I feel like they wouldn’t include such an obvious failure point without thoroughly testing it. The rails on the Switch 1 felt pretty flimsy but I don’t remember any widespread issues with them

I feel like the indentation where they are is where the concerns are going to end, since they don’t jut out. You’re likely gonna have to try to mess with them to break them.

People should be more careful with their electronics. The connector seems to be covered enough and it’s magnetic, it’s not something so easy to detached.
I’m still trying to understand how so many put the strap on the wrong joy-con, when the instructions were so simple.

There’s no way to put strain on that connector with that design. You can’t twist or turn the joycons while removing or inserting them with the way they recess into the system, they’re magnetically guided, and keyed. Also with the contacts at the end of the connector chances are the tolerances aren’t very tight on the other faces.
Short of taking pliers to it I can’t see how it could fail.
