The article explores the new mouse mode introduced in the Nintendo Switch 2, allowing players to navigate system menus with a pointer triggered by Joy-Con mouse sensors. Users can adjust sensitivity settings for the pointer, enabling precise control for various tasks. Additionally, the feature assists vision-impaired players and those with smaller screens via zoom functionality. Notably, a sound function enables users to locate misplaced Joy-Con controllers, enhancing the overall user experience and usability of the controllers in playful scenarios.
I stumbled on this feature when I was holding the Joy-Cons normally and one of my fingers accidentally passed over the mouse sensor, activating a mouse pointer on the system menu screen.
Mouse mode also lets you zoom in on specific areas of the screen with a quick double-click, which should be useful for both vision-impaired players and those playing on tiny and/or far-off screens.
In some quick testing, I found the high-sensitivity mode to be especially useful when using the mouse on a small surface, such as the top of my thigh.
Lose a Joy-Con somewhere in the depths of your couch? Not to worry-a new menu option on the Switch 2 lets you play a distinctive sound through that Joy-Con's improved HD Rumble 2 motor to help you find its precise location.
