I'm thinking it will get the job done for casual use since the Joycon is a bit bigger than last time and the shoulder buttons extend out a bit.

I'd be all about going for an ergonomic pro version since I'll be using the feature while docked anyways though. I'm sure a compant like Hori will jump at the opportunity. Hell, maybe even any wireless mouse will work? Just happy that it means lots of games will have the functionality. Analog character movement plus mouse aiming is the best of both worlds.
