    Yeah it’s definitely a different class of device. Did you see the mouse connected in any way, like as a controller, or did it just work in the right context (ie in game)?

    I wonder if they did it out of some abundance of caution for security, out of fear that some 3rd party controller might find a way to hack the device.

      No, the system doesn’t tell you in any way that a mouse is connected, but when you move it in a supported game it just works

        Fair. That’s got me wondering, perhaps if you’re in a game with Joycon mouse support it might lock into mouse mode. One thing that annoys me about using a Joycon as a mouse is that you have to have it on a horizontal surface - I like using a mouse on all sorts of weird things and at different angles (eg curved sofa arms or my belly) and the Joycon doesn’t work for this in UI menus.
