Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing significant nerve damage in both of my arms constantly, making it impossible to press buttons without intense pain.

I’m hoping to find a method to enjoy the Nintendo Switch (specifically Animal Crossing when it releases) using my laptop or an external touchscreen controller. Something like the device in this link would be ideal: http://www.8bitdo.com/wireless-usb-adapter/. Would it simply display the Switch screen on my laptop, or would it allow me to utilize a touchpad instead? I'm completely unfamiliar with this process, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

That connection only provides a controller adapter and has no effect on the display. The switch does feature a touchscreen, however—is it possible to operate functions using that interface?
