The World's First Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller with TMR Glide Sticks

The world’s first Switch 2 Pro controller with TMR Glide Sticks is here.

Nintendo’s approach to the official Pro2’s glide stick was brilliant in its logic. They utilized a "Limit Structure + Silicone Rail + Inverted Hook" system. Here is what that actually means for your thumbs:

No More Grinding: By lowering the limit height, the stick shaft no longer grinds against the faceplate. That annoying plastic dust? Gone.

The Silicone Rail: They added a soft silicone ring at the base. Because the material is elastic, the contact point is minimized. The stick cap doesn’t drag; it glides.

The Inverted Buckle: The stem and cap are locked together with an internal hook design, solving the age-old issue of caps loosening over time. It is a design that turns control into a tactile pleasure.

This controller took Nintendo’s foundation and pushed the material science further. While the Nintendo Pro2 uses standard silicone, this controller upgraded the rail to LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber). This isn’t just a fancy acronym. LSR allows for micron-level molding precision. So it achieved a contact point of just 0.01mm.

The Result: It is self-lubricating and far more durable than standard silicone. The friction isn't just low; it feels like it doesn't exist.

It uses customized the TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) module to address specific efficiency gaps in the Nintendo Pro2.

The Result: Higher sampling precision with lower power consumption. Our R&D team also re-engineered the damping parameters. The resistance is lighter, 'creamier,' and ultra-smooth.
