Rejoice!
The Nintendo Switch 2 will offer USB mouse support in at least one game, it was recently confirmed.
Nobunga’s Ambition Awakening CE will allow a player to plug in and use any USB mouse, Koei Tecmo’s Michi Ryu said in a new video translated from Japanese.
“Once you connect the USB mouse, a message will appear in the top left indicating that the mouse is connected,” the dev said. “When the USB mouse is connected, it takes priority over the Joy-Con 2. As you can see, you can switch instantly. It’s very smooth.”
It’s not yet been confirmed if other mouse-heavy titles including Sid Meier’s Civilisation 7 will be able to offer the same support. We’ll keep you posted as you learn more.
The Switch 2 heads to store shelves on 5 June 2025. We recently previewed the hardware — and its Joy-Con 2 mouse controls — here.
