Yeah it’s definitely a different class of device. Did you see the mouse connected in any way, like as a controller, or did it just work in the right context (ie in game)?
I wonder if they did it out of some abundance of caution for security, out of fear that some 3rd party controller might find a way to hack the device.
Fair. That’s got me wondering, perhaps if you’re in a game with Joycon mouse support it might lock into mouse mode. One thing that annoys me about using a Joycon as a mouse is that you have to have it on a horizontal surface - I like using a mouse on all sorts of weird things and at different angles (eg curved sofa arms or my belly) and the Joycon doesn’t work for this in UI menus.

No, the system doesn’t tell you in any way that a mouse is connected, but when you move it in a supported game it just works
