Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons can be used like a mouse claims leak Another wave of Nintendo Switch 2 leaks suggest the Joy-Cons have a new gimmick, as some convincing new images appear online.
These adhesive barriers are typically used for computer mice to allow smooth movement across surfaces, suggesting the Joy-Cons for Nintendo’s next console could be used in a similar fashion – possibly to allow for superior control in first person shooters, strategy games, and other titles designed for a PC setup.
Reddit user NextHandheld, who claims to have a final unit of the Switch 2 console, recently hinted the Joy-Cons will sport functionality similar to Lenovo’s Legion Go, which has detachable controllers with built-in mouse sensors and a stand – so one controller can operate like a vertical joystick while the other acts as a pointer.
The most interesting detail comes from shipping data for Nintendo’s next console posted by Famiboards user LiC – who previously outed technical specifications about the Switch 2 last year – which suggests the Joy-Cons can function like a computer mouse.
Nintendo Switch 2 leaks have accelerated exponentially over the past month, with videos of the seemingly magnetic Joy-Cons, console images from accessory manufacturers, and pictures of the revamped dock all popping up online.
