Everybody Needs to Calm Down About the Switch 2 Screen and ‘Ghosting’

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-03-01 06:38:36

My aging, stick drift-wracked original Switch was stacked with a library of games I honestly forgot I owned. The Switch 2, with its bigger, brighter display, has breathed new life into this backlog, and it has become my new excuse to revisit Hades and Kentucky Route Zero. A new batch of naysayers claim the screen isn’t worth playing your older 2D titles on due to reported ghosting issues, but the specs are much more complicated than any not-a-tweet post on X may imply. The Switch 2’s 7.9-inch d

Asus ROG Azoth X Review: A Space-Age Gaming Keyboard

A lot of mechanical keyboards struggle with aesthetics. It’s hard to get right! If the styling is overdone, you might inhibit functionality or just have too much going on visually. If you stick to the basics, you might end up with a bland keyboard. Whichever way you go, there’s still a chance you’ll get it wrong and have something that doesn’t look good.

This Case Forced Me to Completely Rethink How I Handle the Switch 2

2025 The Nintendo Switch 2 is currently the featherweight champion of gaming handhelds—though largely because nobody can enter its weight class. No other device of its size—whether it’s a handheld PC or another retro device—can slip so easily into a backpack without weighing you down, like you’re lugging a sack of bricks around through every train station and airport terminal. That slim design comes with its own heap of drawbacks. The Switch 2 is a thin device with narrow edges that tends to d

TL;DR Samsung is “intensively analyzing” Google’s switch from Samsung to TSMC for Pixel chip production. The move apparently came as a “shock” to Samsung last month. TSMC is generally considered superior to Samsung when it comes to chip manufacturing. Google has used Samsung to manufacture its Tensor smartphone chips since 2021, but the Pixel 10 series is widely tipped to be made by rival manufacturer TSMC.
