They've been inadvertently tossed, smashed together by two people throwing "air punches" who weren't standing far enough apart, and torqued on in ways I'm certain would have threatened lesser remotes. I have yet to drop the Switch (Nintendo cautions against it), but I've certainly abused the Joy-Cons, which have yet to complain.

There are no bending limbs or hidden robot heads lurking beneath its vivid capacitive multitouch 720p screen or beveled matte-finish plastic housing.
