Polygon has tried the Joy-Con’s mouse functionality, and it does work OK, but it’s a relief to hear that a normal USB mouse will also work on Switch 2.
The Switch 2’s mouse functionality is a nifty idea, but let’s face it, the prospect of scrolling around for hours with something that wasn’t designed from the ground up with that functionality in mind sounds like a recipe for hand cramps. Fortunately, you’ll have options.
In April, Polygon had a chance to take the Switch 2’s mouse controls for a test run. At the time we noted that the Joy-Con 2 was pretty good at tracking a variety of surfaces, including your own pants.
