Nintendo’s short video offers a closer look at the Switch 2 Joy-Con, showcasing how the controller works and attaches to the console.
Nintendo has been hiding how the Switch 2 Joy-Cons come apart in plain sight this whole time, and it's just as simple as I thought it would be

Is the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con really a mouse?
Perhaps more importantly, the video shows the Joy-Con clicking onto a separate piece before going into mouse mode. This other piece looks like it has some small pads on the bottom, like a computer mouse would, to make it a little easier to slide around.
All the things Nintendo didn’t tell us about the Switch 2
