After 3 days of use

I give it about 6 months before they find out using it like a mouse for prolonged periods damages the controller in some way
 
Looks it has terrible interpolation from the "mouse" movement to the cursor movement, but again its Nintendo so its going to suck and people will eat it
 
I feel like the opposite is true, because most of your hand can remain curled, which should relieve at least some stress from your wrists.

it seems like your hand is also slightly tilted similar to the hand position of some ergo-mice.
I can't imagine it at the moment and I have ergonomic mice at home.
 
will have to try it out in person to see how responsive it is.

definitely lends itself to some pcgaming genres and old school pc games. And some Nintendo innovation/new ways to play. I guess we see it with the wheelchair game and maybe in Mario Party Jamboree add on?
 
Missed opportunity that they didn't use the old Wii-style pointers

I really don't see the point if you're not sitting at a desk. No one plays their switch that way.
Just place it on the living room table. The point is that you always have a mouse right there and you can get mouse controls, if you want, and play first person shooters and strategy games like they were meant to be played. And no digital WASD movement, still analog as on regular controllers. It'll be awesome.
 
I just don't see this being comfortable, lol. It's so tall and thin. I could see it doing a number on your hand after awhile.
 
I don't see Nintendo doing this and not doing another Mario Paint, my money is that it's already in the works.

It doesn't seem uncomfortable to me, at least any more uncomfortable than holding a Joy Con by itself already. I tried mimicking what it'll be like by using a Switch 1 Joy Con like a mouse, and it felt fine. More comfortable than holding it by itself.

The Switch 2 Joy con is like 25% bigger, so it'll probably be even better. It's not gonna be as comfortable as a real mouse of course, but I don't think it'll be as bad as people are making it seem.

Side note, it kinda makes me with real computer mice had other I/O, like a little joystick, or haptic feedback. The standard mouse design basically hasn't changed in 30+ years, it'd be cool to try something new.

I was actually curious about doing the same just to see myself, lol. I know it's not the exact shape, but I'd imagine it's at least close enough to get an idea. Nintendo tends to be pretty good about comfort. I feel like the Joycon is the first thing I've held in awhile that feels a bit trying, and I don't even have big hands, lol.
