The biggest change compared to the original Switch concerns the Joy-Con controllers. These would be larger on the Switch 2 and have an additional head under the ZL and ZR buttons. A new button has also been added under the home button. Instead of continuing to rely on rails, the controllers could magnetically attached to the console. The SL and SR buttons on the Switch 2 are made of metal.
Despite the many changes, Mobapad claims that the Joy-Cons of the normal Switch and Pro Controllers are still compatible with the Switch 2. The same applies to the cartridge slot. Switch games can also be played on the new console (this also applies to the digital version). Conversely, Switch 2 cartridges would not work on Switch 1 (source: Mobapad).
