The arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 heralds some much-needed improvements over its predecessor, especially its Joy-Con controllers. Here’s a quick breakdown of what the announcement trailer showed us about the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons.

Now that one rumored Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con feature seems to be confirmed, the console just needs a specific companion peripheral to go with it.

Perhaps more importantly, the video shows the Joy-Con clicking onto a separate piece before going into mouse mode. This other piece looks like it has some small pads on the bottom, like a computer mouse would, to make it a little easier to slide around.

The new Nintendo Switch 2 trailer has just dropped, confirming the existence of what might well be the most leaked console in history. In addition, this debut look at the successor seemingly confirms that the Joy-Con controllers will indeed include mouse functionality.

The day we've been waiting for has finally arrived. Nintendo has officially revealed the Switch 2, and its Joy-Cons are getting a few major upgrades.

After the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal this morning, those rumors that you might be able to use your Joy-Con as a mouse are looking preeeeeeeeeetty good. During the reveal trailer, there's a moment where a pair of detached Joy-Cons are lowered onto a surface,
