At PAX East, I had a brief opportunity to experience the Switch 2's mouse controls through a demo of Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster. Although I faced some discomfort due to an awkward setup, the mouse feature proved effective and promising. Nintendo aims for versatility in using Joy-Cons as mice, though this may not be ideal for prolonged gaming sessions. I see potential in using this feature comfortably when the Switch 2 is placed on a desk, enhancing my gaming experience.
One of the features I was most curious about: the mouse controls. Surprisingly convincing tech demo for the Switch 2's mouse controls in Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster.
Nintendo has been adamant that the Switch 2 Joy-Cons work as a mouse even if you're using them on your pants, and while that's cool and novel, it really doesn't feel like a good setup.
If I could put the Joy-Cons at about the level I would normally use a mouse, a lot of that discomfort would go away.
I could see the mouse controls becoming a standard control scheme for me when I have my Switch 2 propped up on my desk.
