Y'all, I have no idea why we're just learning this, but the Switch 2𒀰 has the capability to connect a third-party USB mouse "seamlessly" in addition to the mouse functionality of its updated Joy-Cons.
The Switch 2's ability to turn its Joy-Cons into PC gaming mice has been the console's most conspicuous and interesting feature to me since its reveal, and that weird wheelchair basketball game 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Drag x Drive, whi𝔍ch most 🍨of us haven't had the chance to play, is the only real dedicated proof of concept we know about right now.
Suddenly and without prior notice, I'm now infinitely more intrigued by the Switch 2's mouse compatibility, as a YouTube video with less🌸 than 500 views at the time of writing has casually revealed that the console can hook up to aജny ol' mouse as long as it has a USB connection and the game supports this functionality.
At right about the from Koei Tecmo Europe (thanks, ), producer Michi Ryu drops this bombshell (through the video's English subtitles): "In addition to the mouse operation with the Joy-Con 2, you can also connect a USB mouse and it💟 will work seamlessly." Ryu adds 🔴that a message will appear in the top left side of the screen indicating a successful connection.
Ryu then demonstrates that you can switch between Joy-Con and PC mouဣse controls interchangeably, remarking that the "switching sp𒉰eed is incredibly fast."
Whoa, whoa, whoa, why are we talking about this like it's something Nintendo has already revealed? I'm gen💙uinely baffled that this wasn't shouted from the rooftops when the darn thing was first announced. My gaming mouse! In my Nintendo!
This featur🌳e being extremely uncharacteristic for Nintendo aside, the gameplay implications are massive. I mean, when in Nintendo console history have youꦑ been able to just plug in a third-party input device and use it instead of an official or licensed controller? Let alone one as dominant but platform-divorced as the almighty gaming mouse. Never, as far as I can remember.
Not only that, Ryu says "you can use both the mouse and controller simultaneously" for more precise control. This will surely vary game to game, but the potential hereꦛ is enormous.
I've reached out to Nintendo for clarification on how exactly this works and which games will support USB mice, and I'll update this article i🍃f I hear back.
In the meantime, I'll be thinking about all of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch 2 games I might be able to play with a freakin' mouse.
After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor whil🐽e freelancing for places like SFX Mag💖azine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
