        There are rumors the joycon have an optical sensor on the side that would allow you to use them as a mouse on a flat surface

      Does it? They did show the controllers in the sensor down orientation, but the mouse theory is too wacky.

        If you have a joy con handy, take it and place it on a mousepad and move it around. It feels surprisingly good in the hand.

        How great would Mario Maker 3 be if you had a mouse input to place all the blocks and select items and stuff.

        Or maybe even a track editor for the new Mario Kart! That’d be sweet. And with the mouse they could really let you shape tracks and add foliage easier.

        Not just in sensor-down orientation, but sliding around on a surface in the new wrist strap attachment which appears to have sliders on the “bottom” now
