Q: Will this charge joy con 2 or just older joy cons?
A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about the PowerA Joy-Con Charging Dock for Nintendo Switch The PowerA Joy-Con Charging Dock is designed for the standard Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controllers. The charging dock is designed for the standard Joy-Con form factor, which has been consistent across the original Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch OLED Model. If "Joy-Con 2" refers to the Joy-Cons for the newest Switch model, the most likely answer is yes, it will charge them, assuming the physical charging mechanism (the rail) hasn't fundamentally changed.

Q: Will this charge joy con 2 or only older joycons?
A: Hi, thank you for reaching out about PowerA Joy-Con Charging Dock for Nintendo Switch. A PowerA Joy-Con Charging Dock for the original Nintendo Switch will not charge Joy-Con 2 controllers, which are designed for the new Nintendo Switch 2 system. The Joy-Con 2 controllers have a different design, including a new connection port and magnetic charging, which prevents them from fitting properly into older docks.
