This is the test Nintendo Switch 2.



First, we used needles with different

Mohs hardness ratings to test whether they would scratch the screen.



A needle with a Mohs hardness of 2 can scratch a typical plastic-faced display, but it will not scratch the Nintendo Switch 2 display.



Next, scratch the screen with a needle with a Mohs hardness of 3.



A Mohs hardness of 3 is the level at which a glass display can be scratched, and the Nintendo Switch 2's display was also scratched at this Mohs hardness level.



You can see that scratches can be caused by rubbing the Nintendo Switch 2 screen with keys, blocks, coins, etc.
