I think you’re missing the point. A standard mouse lacks a lot of stuff. Sure there are mice with peripheral buttons, and some with a lot of them, and even some with joysticks, but the Switch 2 JoyCons come with not just that, but a paired controller for your other hand that fits there much better than a full Xbox or Playstation or Switch Pro gamepad. Having a mouse built into the controllers would be just like having the Deck’s trackpads, except with more precision.
I see
All I can think up now is having the deck on a stand, using the left part of the deck with my left hand and aiming with the mouse at its side
I'll try this setup out
Lol that sounds pretty cool tbh. Assuming your mouse has ~12 inputs like the right side of the Deck or most gamepads do
Yup, these mouses exist
They're called MMO-mouses and come in all shapes and layouts
Yeah that’s the one I was picturing lol. Not sure my thumb is adept enough to tell all those buttons apart
