German tech site reported on Mobapad’s new Joy‑Con alternatives for the Switch 2. The Mobapad M12 S and M12 HD controllers use TMR‑technology for higher‑resolution analog sticks, feature 9‑axis gyroscopes, ergonomic designs, rear‑paddle buttons and their own 800 mAh batteries that save console power. The M12 HD adds HD Rumble, a macro‑programming M‑button and RGB lighting, while the M12 S includes a C‑button for voice chat. Both models support Wake‑From‑Sleep and can be used with a charging grip and hard case. Reviewers praised the improved grip, battery life of 15‑20 hours and the ability to control the Switch 2 without draining its battery.
