First thought “mouse mode” was a gimmick, but this was one of the best mobile experiences I’ve ever had.

Also, this is a legit Switch 2 killer.

It has a 8.8” screen, runs at 1600p with a 144hz refresh rate. You can also customize the power draw too.

On top of that, you can connect the “Joy-Cons” together, dock it to a TV—and did I mention mouse mode?

Is this done via a control on the "joycon" or on the main device? Seems like good functionality that would be straightforward to implement with other similar devices (and may have enough "prior art" examples to reduce patent trolling).

There's a normal mouse sensor on the joycon
