Is it normal for a switch to scratch the contacts of game carts? Literally all of the game carts I own have thin long scratch marks that was probably caused by the cartridge slot making contact and scratching the back of the carts when inserting them in. Is this normal? I have the v2 switch. Does this happen on the og switch as well?

This is caused by the pins in the switches cartridge slot making contact with the pins on the back of the cartridge. This is perfectly normal.
