    If you have a joy con handy, take it and place it on a mousepad and move it around. It feels surprisingly good in the hand.

    How great would Mario Maker 3 be if you had a mouse input to place all the blocks and select items and stuff.

    Or maybe even a track editor for the new Mario Kart! That’d be sweet. And with the mouse they could really let you shape tracks and add foliage easier.

      Or just make it where you can plug a mouse into the USB port. Or Bluetooth. Mario Paint for the SNES had a mouse. No need to get crazy designing stuff for dual functions

        I have heard that the current Switch already supports mice, but very few games use it, since no one has a mouse connected to their Switch, since almost no games use it. If there is an (uncomfortable) mouse included in every Switch 2, game devs will be more willing to include mouse controls in their games. Players who play a lot of mouse enabled games will hook up a real mouse to their system. Much in the same way that every game for the current Switch supports Joycon controls even though many hobbyist gamers will use a more traditional controller.

        They can easily do both (have the joycons mouse and ability to use a regular mouse).

        And maybe you want to play a mouse game and only have the switch with you. Boom, you have a mouse with you already.
