Bright-colored controllers were so much better. Also the way they were attached before is much better.

Switch 1 was the work of art. This one looks like the work of A/B testing and “we are losing customers as they choose Steam Deck over us, so let’s make it look like Steam Deck”

it definitely does look a bit like a steam deck

From the trailer the way the new controller attach to the console seems fragile, but they might have done some apple-like magnet magic..

I think the updated "click" sound present in the trailer indicates that yes they will snap on pretty forcefully with magnets.
