Rumor: Dbrand says it has Nintendo Switch 2 dimensions, teases “Killswitch 2” case
No one is getting off of this wild ride of Nintendo Switch 2 speculation, and now Dbrand – a company that handles accessories – claims it has actual dimensions for the device.
This time around, the fun started with Dbrand announcing its “Killswitch 2” case. Along with an in-motion render of the case, it also has a hardware mockup. Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to be larger than its predecessor, which Dbrand “confirms”.
Rather than guessing here, Dbrand CEO Adam Ijaz says the company has “actual dimensions” based on a “3D scan of the real hardware.” The Verge attempted to follow up with more for clarification, but Ijaz wouldn’t share anything else.
According to Dbrand, the Joy-Con for Nintendo Switch 2 are magnetically attached with an ejection button on back top. The system measurements are roughly 270mm wide, 116mm tall, and 14mm thick, with the console portion taking up 200mm worth of that width. To compare, the previous (technically current) Nintendo Switch comes in at 242mm wide, 102mm tall and 13.9mm thick.
We have some other tidbits as well. Again, based on Dbrand’s information, the kickstand measures at around 55mm. The joysticks are 6.27mm tall, and the d-pad and ABXY buttons protrude by 1.57mm, with a 180mm wide kickstand, and back triggers that extend 14.1mm.
One thing Dbrand has no idea about is launch timing for Nintendo Switch 2. The company itself is targeting a late March or early release for its case, however. Other details, including a possible dock and type of screen, are also unknown.
