The '''{{PAGENAME}}s''' are the main controllers of the [[Nintendo Switch]] that can be used in [[Splatoon 2]].
{{Real}}
 
'''Joy-Con''' are the main controllers for the [[Nintendo Switch]] and one of two types that can be used in {{S2}} and {{S3}}. They use Bluetooth LE technology and have a battery life of over twenty hours of continuous gameplay. They also feature finer haptic feedback called HD Rumble instead of traditional vibration technology, and replace the traditional {{Button|DPad|Switch}} on the Joy-Con (L) with a four-button array identical to the {{Button|A|Switch}}{{Button|B|Switch}}{{Button|X|Switch}}{{Button|Y|Switch}} cluster. The latter feature is intended to make for more comfortable controls, and to give the Joy-Con (L) the same single-controller experience as the Joy-Con (R).


==Description==
==Description==
The {{PAGENAME}}s are the main controllers for the Switch, and two are included with every Switch, with extra's sold separately. They are small controllers, that can be slotted into both sides of the Switch Console to form the [[Gamepad]] esque Handheld mode, slotted into a Joy-Con Grip to form a more conventional controller, or used separately such as one in each hand, or as a controller each for multiplayer games. They {{PAGENAME}}s include SL and SR triggers, HD Rumble, and motion controls, and the {{PAGENAME}} (R) contains an IR camera and NFC pad. The {{Button|DPad}} is replaced by directional buttons, to help 2 player modes.
A Joy-Con (L) and Joy-Con (R) pair, two straps and a grip are included with every Nintendo Switch, with extras and individual controllers sold separately. Minus {{Button|L|Switch}} and {{Button|R|Switch}}, they are exactly as tall as the console itself to create a continuous rounded rectangle shape when they are attached to it.


==Joy-Con Grip==
The Joy-Con (L) has eleven buttons, including a directional four-button array that replaces {{Button|DPad|Switch}}, the clickable {{Button|LS|Switch}}, the {{Button|L|Switch}} shoulder button, the {{Button|ZL|Switch}} trigger, the {{Button|Capture|Switch}} Capture button, {{Button|SL|Switch}} and {{Button|SR|Switch}}, {{Button|Minus|Switch}}, and SYNC, which doubles as a power/reset button.

The Joy-Con Grip is an accessory included with every Nintendo Switch that forms a more conventional controller. The player slots the Joy-Cons into either side of the Grip. The Grip does not add any more features. The Joy-Con Charging Grip is separate accessory that charges the {{PAGENAME}} while using it, and has a translucent plastic backing rather than the matte style plastic used in the regular grip.
The Joy-Con (R) also has eleven buttons, including the {{Button|A|Switch}}{{Button|B|Switch}}{{Button|X|Switch}}{{Button|Y|Switch}} diamond, the clickable {{Button|RS|Switch}}, the {{Button|R|Switch}} shoulder button, the {{Button|ZR|Switch}} trigger, {{Button|Home|Switch}}, {{Button|SL|Switch}} and {{Button|SR|Switch}}, {{Button|Plus|Switch}}, and SYNC.

However, it does not add any other features or establish any communications with the console or controllers. The Joy-Con Charging Grip is a separate accessory that charges the controllers while using it, if connected to the Nintendo Switch, and has a translucent plastic backing rather than the matte opaque plastic used in the regular grip.
