Nintendo Switch 2 will support USB Mouse

This was a showoff to demonstrate the capabilities of the device, and he said, “Once you connect the USB mouse, a message will appear in the top left indicating that the mouse is connected. When the USB mouse is connected, it takes priority over the Joy-Con 2.” The ability to support a USB mouse is a bigger advantage for the Switch 2 because many serious gamers like to play games using their mouse, and Nintendo giving that extra option is a gift to gamers. Most of the strategy games are more comfortable with a USB rather than a controller. It will be more precise and faster compared with regular controllers.

But there was no mention of wireless USB mouse support.  The company is hiding many key options and the device capabilities, which will all be revealed once the device launches on June 5, 2025. It will be available as a single device and also with a Mario Kart bundle pack. The most exciting thing about the Nintendo Switch is its ability to handle high-graphics games. They are expected to support popular games like Elden Ring. Nvidia claims that the new Nintendo Switch 2 device can handle 10x better graphics than the original Switch. 

As the release date is nearing, the gamers are getting more excited. The pre-booked numbers for the upcoming Switch 2 device are also huge. The US is a big market for Nintendo consoles, and the official stores are well aware of the demand. So getting the device on day 1 will be difficult, as the company says it received more orders than anticipated. It is the biggest gaming hardware launch this year, and the supply will be free-flowing throughout the year.
