    It still doesn’t do anything to steer me toward a Switch 2 over a Steam Deck

    Who's claiming that giving away your Deck is a necessity?

    I don't have a Steam Deck yet. Given the choice between that and the Switch 2, at this point, I'm still going with the Steam Deck.

      You can always buy a used Switch 2 once it's hackable.

          Funny you mention it, the next large purchase I have planned is a gaming PC to replace my aging 2018 laptop, and I plan on going all-in on Linux. From what I can tell, AMD seems to be the way to go, and as a long time Fedora user, I'm interested in Nobara.

          What's your setup? Any recommendations?

              He then plugged in a standard USB mouse, confirming that these can also be used with Switch 2 hardware. When the mouse is plugged in, a message on the screen shows that the mouse is connected and takes priority over the Joy-Con 2’s mouse controls.

              Ryu then showed that it was possible to use the USB mouse with the right hand, but continue to use the left Joy-Con 2 with the left hand, meaning all the controller shortcuts are still available even when using a standard mouse.

              I mean, Switch 1 also has keyboard and mouse support. Just not a lot of games support it.

                This could be the coolest thing I will never buy.

                    I've always felt like this would be the ultimate FPS setup. The aiming precision of the mouse, but using analog for movement
