He then plugged in a standard USB mouse, confirming that these can also be used with Switch 2 hardware. When the mouse is plugged in, a message on the screen shows that the mouse is connected and takes priority over the Joy-Con 2’s mouse controls.

Ryu then showed that it was possible to use the USB mouse with the right hand, but continue to use the left Joy-Con 2 with the left hand, meaning all the controller shortcuts are still available even when using a standard mouse.

    It’s getting a little older but if you find a refurbished one I’d say it’s well worth it. I enjoyed mine for the last few years, just built my first Linux gaming PC because of it!

      Funny you mention it, the next large purchase I have planned is a gaming PC to replace my aging 2018 laptop, and I plan on going all-in on Linux. From what I can tell, AMD seems to be the way to go, and as a long time Fedora user, I’m interested in Nobara.

      What’s your setup? Any recommendations?

        Happy to help how I can!

        Yeah I went AMD CPU/GPU as well. 9800x3d + 9070. Got an aorus b650 motherboard, very happy with it. Did bazzite for now, so far happy except controller support gets a little wonky when you play a game, close it, then try to play another one. Other than tiny quirks like that it has worked fantastically out the box. I haven’t even had to open the terminal yet.

        Playing expedition 33 at 3440x1440p at all max settings. Consistently pulling 80fps
