Nintendo Switch 2 Durability Test Reveals Screen That Easily Scratches - TechEBlog

Zack Nelson, the destruction wizard behind JerryRigEverything, has set his sights on the Nintendo Switch 2, putting the handheld through his brutal gauntlet to see how it holds up. With his full toolkit unleashed, Nelson’s durability test reveals a console that’s tougher than it looks but not without some quirks—like a screen that’s a magnet for scratches.

The Switch 2 rocks a plastic display, a budget-friendly move that keeps costs low but raises eyebrows about durability. Armed with Mohs picks to test scratch resistance, Nelson found scuffs showing up at level 3—meaning your keys or loose change could leave lasting marks. Metal objects? They’re the screen’s worst nightmare, slicing visible lines like a hot knife through butter. But plastic-on-plastic action, like a stylus or your fingernail, is less likely to leave a dent.
