Activision officially dropped the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 reveal yesterday, and nestled among the campaign details, multiplayer upgrades, and return of DMZ, Ninty popped its head up. This is the first CoD title to launch on Nintendo hardware since Ghosts, though we’ll have to wait a while for its Modern Warfare 4 pre-orders, and it comes with full Joy-Con mouse control support. As much as I love this nifty feature, I very much recommend that you don’t take them up on that offer.
It’s not just that you’re relying on softer trigger buttons for your main clicks, or that the taller shape gives you far less stability on a desktop. I don’t know about you, but when I’m in the heat of battle, I tense up – my relaxed palm grip becoming a strained claw with the adrenaline. Maintaining that hold over the tiny Joy-Con 2 is going to be unbearable.
Thankfully, you don’t need to spend hundreds to pick up a far more comfortable gaming mouse supported by the Nintendo Switch 2. In fact, pretty much every rodent I’ve tested with the handheld has worked flawlessly. For everyday play when you don’t want to rely on sticks, though, the Logitech G305 Lightspeed would be my top pick.

Logitech G305 Lightspeed
Pros
- Great price for wireless convenience
- Everything you need for casual Call of Duty
- Tested and works well with Switch 2
- Comfortable for all grip types
Cons
- Smaller size might not work for larger hands
- Replaceable battery
This is the best budget wireless gaming mouse I’ve tested so far, so it’s not going to stand up against made-for-esports high-flyers like the Razer Viper V4 Pro or Logitech G Pro X 2 Superstrike. It will, however, run easily on the Switch 2, keep you comfortably on the couch with a wireless connection, and holds up with a sturdy build quality. Unless you’re playing competitively, you don’t need to shell out on one of the best gaming mice to have a good time here.
Look, the Joy-Con 2 are powerful little gamepads and that sensor is remarkable for what it is. It can’t keep up with a traditional shape though, and I wince at the thought of cramping my hand around the tall, skinny oblong for serious CoD sessions.
It’s lovely for mini-games or the odd break from the thumbsticks, and definitely speeds up my Balatro dopamine hit, but it’s not going to cut it for fast-paced, tense FPS gameplay. Even Cyberpunk 2077 feels a little too action-y and Call of Duty (especially multiplayer Call of Duty) is going to push that unnatural hand position to its limits.
We’re also rounding up all the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, but you’ll also want to check out the best gaming keyboards and the best Nintendo Switch headsets if you’re after more Call of Duty upgrades.
