I was talking about these buttons. And in terms of locking in, thats a possibility but a strong set of magnets with a recessed area and a connector seems like it would be quite secure.

Ohh that makes sense!

Now that I am looking at it again, I wonder if those buttons you circled are actually little plungers that push the joycon away from the body to help release it.

Edit: Whatever way they attach, I hope the new joycons don't loosen and flex like some of the current joycons do. Some of my joycons have "wobble" when attached and it makes me sad.

There's a little square recessed area on the bottom of the pink part, which I just now noticed. Might be some kind of locking mechanism?

Or it could be for the strap portion.
