The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't even out yet, and you can already invalidate one of the console's new innovations with one neat trick.
During the big Switch 2 reveal Direct, we got a look at some interesting gizmos and gadgets Nintendo came up with to help move copies. Among them, a way to get the PC gaming experience on a home console. You can use the console's controllers in mouse mode!
Alternatively, just buy a USB mouse.
No, really. It's just that simple. In a recent livestream from Koei Tecmo, producer Michi Ryu was showing off their progress on Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening CE. During the stream, he shows off how easy it is to switch from JoyCon mouse controls to an actual USB mouse.
It really is just plug-and-play.
Ryu explained the exact ins-and-outs of the process (thanks, Insider Gaming), but don't worry, it's pretty short: “Once you connect the USB mouse, a message will appear in the top left indicating that the mouse is connected. When the USB mouse is connected, it takes priority over the Joy-Con 2.”
There are still a few things we don't know about the Nintendo Switch 2's USB mouse...
