As we get closer and closer to the official reveal of the Switch successor, a sharp increase in rumours and bold claims is bound to happen. The latest comes from Reddit and precariously straddles the line between plausible and utterly bizarre. It also happens to be a rather old idea; one that we could certainly see come to fruition in the future, but right now.

.? We're not completely convinced yet. It's all to do with scroll wheels.



Specifically, scroll wheel shoulder buttons. The idea comes from Redditor ' Adjacent-Adjunct ', who claims to have held a dummy model of the upcoming 'Switch 2'. They state that the model had no innards of any kind, nor any indication of ports or vents.

Hmm...

Convenient. What they do say, however, is that the shoulder buttons can now scroll; much like those you might find on a PC mouse, albeit stiff enough that you can still click the buttons in without accidentally scrolling them. Amusingly, they compare the concept to that of a store conveyor belt, which.

.. okay, fine! Before we comment any further, let's take a look at the exact statement: "Now here's the cool part, the shoulder buttons could spin! I sat there playing with it in my hands and staring at it for like 2 or 3 straight minutes before moving on, spinning these wheel-like things in my fingers because it was so strange but satisfying.

It reminds me somewhat like a mouse wheel where it spins as you run your finger along it but still clicks like a button. These also still clicked in like.
