Nintendo confirms mouse functionality for Switch 2

As has been previously hinted at and rumored, Nintendo Switch 2 will feature a control scheme that lets players essentially use the Joy-Con as a mouse.

If you paid close attention to the system’s announcement video in January, it seemed all but a sure thing. We saw a glimpse of that with the Joy-Con being placed onto an attachment that has a flat surface and moving around in the same way that a mouse would on a mouse pad. Additionally, in February, a patent was discovered that further pointed to the feature being a thing.
