  • I, for one, can't wait until my joycon is so scuffed from vigorously rubbing it on a flat surface that it doesn't properly insert into the console. Maybe I'm assuming too much, but why would I give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt here?

    • I think it has normal mouse sliders. There's a thicker black line in figure 25 behind the line with number 33.

      • Good eye. Looking into it further, it looks like this picture seems to suggest that they've forseen this issue and will also provide an attachment for a better "mouse mode" experience.
