This seems to be the first bootleg GL/GR buttons from an unlicensed 3rd party? MystiForge just released a charging grip in China (imgs 1-3) with system-mappable back buttons (img 4; conventional 3rd party back buttons are not recognized by the Switch 2 system). It comes with 3 sets of swappable button faces that you can mix and match (img 3). Since there are sellers hawking MystiForge split grips on Amazon already, this new product possibly will be imported to the US as well.
For those keeping score, so far the Switch 2 dock connection, C button, 9-axis motion sensing, and now GL/GR buttons have been replicated by unlicensed 3rd parties. The only features not yet cracked are the mouse control and HD Rumble 2.
[Update] Although the NFC reader for NS1 was reverse-engineered long ago, it just occurred to me that NFC for NS2 doesn’t appear to be cracked either.
