Nintendo Switch 2 to Introduce USB Mouse Support for Console Gameplay

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console will provide full compatibility with wired USB mice, as demonstrated by the example of the strategy game Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition. The system automatically recognizes the connected device and displays the cursor on the screen, providing players with a PC-like control experience. The innovative feature allows you to instantly switch between the mouse and the new Joy-Con 2 controllers without having to manually select the input mode.

Although the current implementation is limited to wired models, this opens up prospects for genres that require increased precision – strategies, shooters and action games. Analysts note that Nintendo is actively developing the hybrid concept of Switch 2, expanding its multiplatform potential. Such a solution will not only simplify the porting of computer games, but also create a unique competitive advantage over other consoles.

The expected start of sales of Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for June 5, 2025. Mouse support could be a game-changer for attracting audiences that have traditionally favored the PC platform due to the control features of certain genres.
