I think we all know that patents don't usually mean anything and aren't an indicator of a product actually coming to launch, but what do you all think of a potentially smaller, more portable Switch?

Semi related but for my switch and switch oled I have this grip thing that attaches to it in handheld making it shaped like a wide traditional controller. Makes playing in handheld for more than a half hour so much more enjoyable

If that’s not built in to this I can already feel my hands being extremely sore

I'd just like a wider grip for the joy-cons when detached and playing docked than the one provided, to make it as wide as a pro controller or other traditional controller, but I haven't found any. Don't count too much on any Switch 2 controller grip being any wider, though, in Nintendo's eyes they're still mainly a children's toy company and will design their hardware primarily sized for children. I get cramps using even the DS and 3DS.

I got crams when I was younger even on my 3ds when I was in middle school

My timing might be off with these events but yeah they’re not comfortable deceives
