The article discusses the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, focusing on its new Joy-Con controller featuring mouse capabilities. A hands-on event showcased games like Drag x Drive and Metroid Prime 4, where the author experienced discomfort due to the awkward ergonomics of the controller's mouse function. The design requires users to contort their hands at unnatural angles, causing tension and soreness in the wrist and shoulder. Despite its innovative features, the usability on various surfaces, outside a table setting, raises concerns among users.
After moving my arms up and down across the table to mimic powering a wheelchair, I could feel tension shooting up my wrist all the way to my shoulder.
The new Joy-Con controller features mouse functionality that may not be comfortable for prolonged use, as it forces awkward hand and wrist positions.
You can use your lap as a surface, but not on bare skin - it might have issues with certain fabrics.
The developers of the Switch 2 understand that most people don't play console games with a handy table nearby ready to go.
