Filed in January 2023, the patent describes how users can slide the Joy-Con across a flat surface, similar to using a computer mouse. It details the internal components necessary for this operation, including a light source and sensor. The ergonomic design allows users to easily access analog sticks and shoulder buttons while in mouse mode, potentially leading to new gameplay dynamics and interactions for users.
The patent describes a controller that can function both as a conventional joystick and as a mouse-like device, enhancing versatility in gameplay.
