The functionality of the Switch 2 mouse is a clever idea, but let’s face the truth, the perspective of rewinding for many hours with something that has not been designed from the basics with this function, sounds like a recipe for hand contractions. Fortunately, you’ll have options.
In April, Polygon had a chance to take Mouse Switch 2 to the test. At that time, we noticed that Joy-Con 2 was quite good in tracking different surfaces, including its own pants. In these demonstrations, the mouse worked more or less as you expected on the computer – but it was effortless to accidentally press the wrong button due to the controller’s orientation. It is possible that Quasi-Mysia simply requires getting used to, but ultimately the control scheme was not as intuitive as possible.
However, if you have a lying mouse, it can be easier to simply employ it. As Koei Tecmo revealed in the strategic programmers journal Ambition Nobunaga: Awakening Complete EditionYou can connect a normal computer mouse and play games in this way (noticed for the first time VGC).
One of the arguments for using Joy-Con 2 in these cases is that you can pair it with the mouse. In this way, you can move smoothly, while using the Joy-Con buttons, which are programmed with shortcuts.
Or you can learn to love the Joy-Con mouse! The manufacturer Michi Ryu makes it sound as if all potential speed inequalities you experience, while learning lines can be worth it. “For those who got used to it, acting through these shortcuts can make the game smoother,” he says in the film.
