Plastic objects, however, like my Lego or the docking station, won’t leave any marks.” (Topic starts at 2:04 in video) Switch 2 passes JRE durability test Despite the plastic screen being easily scratched, the Switch 2 still passed JerryRigEverything’s durability test, partially thanks to how Nintendo attached the Joy-Con 2.
JerryRigEverything, a YouTuber, posted his Nintendo Switch 2 durability test. He was shocked to see that it passed with just one serious defect.
YouTuber JerryRigEverything finds himself testing almost every new major gadget that is released to determine how durable it is.
Although the majority of his videos are about phones, he frequently mentions other significant releases, such as the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck.
When the Nintendo Switch 2 was released on June 5, 2025, JRE uploaded his durability test right away. Despite one significant flaw, the YouTuber was taken aback by how powerful the handheld is.
Screen scratches are common on the Nintendo Switch 2.
In his durability test videos, JerryRigEverything covers a variety of tests, such as heat resistance, scratch resistance, and even testing out items like the Joy-Con 2 attachment points.
With ease, the YouTuber found that the Switch 2 scratches almost everything, including the screen.
Nintendo gave us a plastic screen, which you’ll notice right away, he said. “This is not the best. My keys demonstrate that anything metal that comes into contact with this screen will, in fact, leave a mark. However, plastic items won’t leave any marks, such as the docking station or my Lego. “.”.

In the JRE durability test, Switch 2 passes.
Because of the way Nintendo connected the Joy-Con 2, the Switch 2 passed JerryRigEverything’s durability test even though the plastic screen was easily scratched.
Jerry tried to bend the little piece of plastic that connected the magnetic joycons to the actual console because everyone on social media, including himself, was worried about it when they were first revealed.
According to him, “the Joy-Cons just kind of pop off on their own when a lot of force is applied.”. In my view, this is a positive development. Despite being forcefully ripped off or forced off the console backwards numerous times, the internal pins don’t seem to be harmed by the angle at which the bending Joy-Cons are positioned.
It disconnects at a sufficiently gentle angle to prevent the port from being flexed or disturbed beyond its capacity. I was skeptical, but now that I’ve held the Switch 2 and experienced how the Joy-Cons connect, I’m much more sure of its ability to withstand daily use. “.”.

As he concluded the video, Jerry remarked, “The Nintendo Switch 2 handles my durability test much better than I anticipated.”.
