like a table or your lap into a mouse pad.

opening up new ways to play-like using both hands to control two mouse controllers simultaneously.

* Only in compatible games.

* Depending on the material or fabric of the surface, the controller’s mouse function may not respond well
or operate properly.

* Rubbing the controller against the surface fabric may cause the fabric’s color to fade.

up, simply press the C Button on the right Joy-Con 2 controller to start an online
chat whenever you like.

Nintendo Switch 2 has a built-in microphone that can pick up your voice even
when sitting far away. It can also filter out the sounds of your surroundings, letting
your voice come through loud and clear.

Share your screen in real time—even if you're all playing different games. Team up
in the same game or watch along as your friends play different ones. It's all about
hanging out and having a good time.
