@AnnoyingFrenzy The point isn't that the Joy-Con itself will provide an optimal mouse experience. No part of the Joy-Con in any circumstance is optimal. It's there so it can be used in a pinch. It's also a garbage gamepad experience, which is why the Pro Controller exists.
Nintendo might even make their own official switch "Pro Mouse." The point is that IR-driven mouse input would be an officially sanctioned and supported input that games can be designed around, which means even if Nintendo doesn't make a proper mouse, third party manufacturers can pick up the slack. The bottom line is that mouse input for Nintendo games might actually be a real thing.
