- Nintendo Switch 2 supports traditional USB mouse controls
- This was revealed in a presentation for Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition
- It opens the possibilities for mouse support and wider keyboard on the 2 switch
If you don’t like the idea of sliding the Joy-Con 2 on your desk to access Nintendo Switch 2 mouse controls, it turns out that you may not have to do it.
Michi Ryu, producer of the port of Koei Tecmo Switch 2 Nobunaga ambition: Awakening, revealed that the coming game supports traditional USB mice on the new console (via VGC).
Ryu begins the demonstration, which you can watch for yourself in the video below, playing the game in mouse mode of Joy-Con 2. “The functionality is the same as the Steam version already published, allowing a left click, a right click and wheel operations,” he said.
To watch
Towards the 11-minute brand of the video, Ryu reveals that a USB mouse has been connected to the Nintendo Switch 2 system, prioritizing the Joy-Con 2 as the main control method. Ryu can then always use various shortcuts which are mapped towards the Joy-Con 2 left.
Although the possibility of using a USB mouse on Switch 2 is excellent news, it is always unknown to how the mouse support will be widespread with other Nintendo Switch 2 games. For example, I can see the USB support of the mouse be excellent for Civilization 7 And Cyberpunk 2077 on switch 2.
It should be noted, however, that some Nintendo games from the first part may not be suitable for traditional mice. Who understands DRANT X And Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Both have rather tailor-made mouse control diagrams which will probably be better suited to Joy-Con 2 and its additional buttons.
However, USB Mouse support is a great thing to do despite everything. He could even open the possibilities of, let’s say, a Final Fantasy 14 online Or The elder scrolls online Ports to Switch 2 – Assuming that the console also has the keyboard management as the original switch did.
