Nintendo Switch 2 Owners: Keep the Screen Protector On
Nintendo advises new Switch 2 owners to leave the factory-installed screen film intact to prevent damage, and recommends using additional screen protectors. The console's magnetic Joy-Con controllers require careful handling to avoid wear, and users should avoid sticking stickers or metal objects to the device. Despite concerns about Joy-Con drift, Nintendo continues to use traditional joysticks with protective covers, with third-party companies developing Hall effect replacements.
