    That was my main point of optimism as well. I couldn’t care less about the Joycon mouse support, but if they supported the Joycons as mice, it would mean that the system needed native mouse support and would likely work with other mice.

      Per my own testing with a Logitech M650, I don’t think you can connect a mouse to the Switch 2.

        Try a wired mouse, it wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of wireless mice might not work. I’ve seen articles that wired mice work.

          Apparently according to other comments a mouse only works in games, but not in Switch UI menus. The Joycon works as a mouse in both.

          I would think a wireless mouse and a wired mouse are functionally the same as far as the device connected to it is concerned. The USB dongle of the wireless mouse handles the wireless part and then delivers the same type of signals to the PC/host device that a wired mouse would.
