In 2017, the First Nintendo Switch He arrived to revolutionize the way of playing. He did it with his concept of hybrid console, but also thanks to some controls that have established themselves as more versatile controls. It was something they had to maintain with Nintendo Switch 2and with the first trailer of the console, we saw that they could have given a twist to the controls. As? Turning the joy-with a mouse. Like those of a lifelong computer. This is not a tremendously new. In fact, Lenovo Legion Goa Consolidated PC That he drinks a lot of Nintendo Switch, he already had a way to turn his right command into a mouse thanks to an optical sensor. With Windows as an operating system, compatibility was total, but the doubt was to what extent the Nintendo Switch 2 mouse mode would be useful. After playing a few hours with the joy-with mouse, I have to tell you that they work really well and makes sense for certain gamesbut for Shooters, which are perhaps ideals for a mouse, it doesn’t convince me so much. And it will also depend a lot on the endurance of your hands. Turning the Joy-Con Nintendo Switch 2 is not a machine to do experiments. The 152 million switch soldand going up, they are a reflection that the company has achieved a product that people liked. They don’t need something groundbreaking As switch or Wii in your day, but a continuous console. But within that line, it is interesting to see that they have tried to take a step further apart from with power improvement. In the First Nintendo Switch 2 impressions After a day trying it I have already told that I like that the joy-with are larger, because it is easier to control games like ‘Doom‘ either ‘Wolfenstein‘With the sticks and fit better in the palm of the hand. And apart from size, a change comes with optical technology. In the area that joins the Joy-Con with the console, Nintendo has added an optical sensor that basically converts each command into a mouse. There are games that will be controlled with the two Joy-Con in this way, but I think the best uses will be those that convert Switch 2 into a kind of desktop PC.

Image | Xataka And ready, it’s like a mouse, with triggers serving as choice buttons. In the console box comes an addition that is an coupling for that area. The joy-with works as a mouse without it, but in this way you have a somewhat more slippery base, you protect the song of the joy-with of any element that is on the table and it may be suggestion, but I think it slides better. Good Gimmick technological or something useful? Let’s see it And the sensations playing with the Switch 2 mouse Launching, there are several games who take advantage of this mouse function. One is ‘Welcomo Tour’ that “minigame” (of 10 euros) that serves to know the entrails and characteristics of the console. There are some mini -games that allow us to explore that control mode and it is curious, but it does not happen. ‘Civilization VII‘It is also compatible With this way, but I could not try it. The one I have played (in any of its modes) is’Cyberpunk 2077‘. When we first executed it, the game tells us that it allows us to play in several ways. It is one of the most generous in this regard because it takes advantage of the accelerometer of the Joy-Con, in the mouse mode and the touch screen (well by CD Projakt there), and it really is the one that allows me to imagine what it will be like to play ‘Metroid Prime 4‘In this way. By default, the game control is through the ‘normal’ command, but in the configuration section, we can select that mouse mode. There are several configurations that we can do to play more comfortable in this regard and I have to say one thing: the sensor that Nintendo has placed in the Joy-with seems very good to me. Image | Xataka On a completely, flat surface, the answer is great, but on the couch, it works very well when sliding on the furniture fabric. With fine cloth shorts it is not going so well because the fabric wrinkles, but in jeans they are also quite precise. That is, if you play in the living room, you don’t have to look for a table or a flat surface: the control is necessary in another type of surface. The left joy-with (because I am right-handed, but having a sensor in both, left-handed ones can also play perfectly) serves to move the character and point, while the right controls the trigger of the weapon, ABXY buttons still have their predetermined actions And the right stick is a scroll bar. And, as I say, you play well: something straight at the beginning because the triggers are very sensitive and you can throw a grenade easily, it happened to me, but you get used to easy. Now, there is an ergonomics problem. In a conventional mouse (in a good one), the manufacturer has bothered to study anatomy to launch a device that can adapt to many arches differently. My partner John Tones already commented After trying switch a few weeks ago. Image | Xataka That does not happen in this case and the 20 minutes was already fatigued. In addition, as they continue to ask you to press buttons of that command for actions such as jumping, selecting or speaking, You always have the arched thumb of moreforcing a position that, … Read more
