The Switch 2 Pro Controller also looks difficult to upgrade and repair.

We’ve already seen inside the Switch 2 and the new Joy-Cons, but YouTube’s VK’s Channel has completely disassembled the Switch 2 Pro Controller and it’s more bad news.

The controller’s joysticks are modular, but getting inside the gamepad to upgrade it with Hall effect or TMR sticks, or to just replace its rechargeable battery, looks overly complicated with access through a glued on face plate that needs to be pried away first.

GuliKit says it’s figured out how to make its controllers wake the Switch 2.

The only gamepad that can wake the new console is Nintendo’s own upgraded Pro controller — even the original Switch’s Pro controller can’t. But that could soon change as GuliKit, which previously noted that the Switch 2 “uses a new system protocol,” now says it’s figured out how to get its third-party controllers to wake the handheld.

It demonstrated the functionality in a video shared to X, but hasn’t announced a follow-up software update adding this feature.

Hulu’s first King of the Hill teaser gives us our first look at a grown up Bobby.

Following the release of the new intro for the King of the Hill revival that starts streaming on Hulu on August 4th, we now have our first teaser for season 14. Bobby Hill is all grown up and doesn’t sound much different than he did when the original series ended in 2010, but seeing Hank Hill using a smartphone might take some time to get used to.

Dbrand’s new skins give you a peek inside the Switch 2.

Until transparent replacement shells for the Nintendo Switch 2 hit the market, Dbrand’s new Teardown skin is the easiest way to peek inside the handheld console without actually tearing it down yourself.

Created in collaboration with JerryRigEverything, there are two kits available: a cheaper $19.95 option that wraps just the Joy-Cons, and a more comprehensive $49.95 Deluxe Kit that includes skins for the back of the console and the front of the dock.

<em>You’ll need the $49.95 Deluxe Kit if you also want to wrap the back of the Switch 2.</em>

Boston Dynamics reminds us its robot dogs can dance.

The company brought five of its Spot robodogs to America’s Got Talent where they performed a choreographed routine to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” — although one got stage fright and collapsed.

It’s another attempt to make the company’s bots go viral, but is it enough to sell a $74,500 robot that can’t assemble cars or unload trucks? Boston Dynamics, which laid off five percent of its workforce last December, is now facing more and more competition.
