Yup, this is it!! My first time hearing about that sensor between the ZL and ZR buttons and people speculating it could be so the controller can be used like a mouse… How cool if so, maybe we could get some PC ports like StarCraft if so - ThreadSky

This here.

I saw comments on Reddit speculating it could be used as a mouse and I wonder if so maybe this could have something to do with the stuff @luigiblood.bsky.social datamined on the NSO apps regarding SNES Mouse? 🕵🏻

I'll be honest I don't believe this is for a mouse-like feature.
It does look optical but I don't really buy it is for a mouse-like thing, and the datamine is about emulation of a virtual SNES peripheral which has nothing to do with actual devices that could work with it.

You could emulate the SNES Mouse with a stick, with a gyroscope, a USB Mouse or whatever you can think of.

I could see it being an optical sensor, but have an entirely different, Nintendo-esque gimmick

Seeing people assume Nintendo is just gonna add mouse aiming to their games because of it is weird and not at all what they would do

The IR camera is in every Joycon and has what, half a dozen use cases?

It's just speculation and discussion, nobody is saying this is what it WILL 100% be what it is used for. Loosen up.

It could be used for games like Mario Maker as an option, not as the only way to play.

Here's a video if you can't visualize it:

I can absolutely visualize it, no issue there, it's just that I find it unlikely for Nintendo to care for other reasons...

lyokoby.bsky.social•51 days ago

Fair enough! We will see soon enough what it is, can't wait!

Right, I was more thinking if this ends up being a mouse feature then they could’ve perhaps been testing it with the NSO, not that the datamine leaked/ hinted at the device/ controller itself.

I hope it happens, even if it has nothing to do with NSO. Seems like a cool idea
