For stuff that wasn't obviously gonna be added probably the mouse controls. Time will tell how much it's utilized but something like Mario Maker 3 could be a worthy sequel thanks to that addition alone. There's obviously the benefit for first person games but it could also benefit a ton of third person ones since neither K&M or a traditional controller are ideal for ones that have you doing stuff like shooting guns since either the movement or aiming is rough.

Gyro helps controllers out a lot with the aiming aspect and this could potentially be even better than that. On PC you can use something like the Xbox Adaptive Joystick and a mouse at the same time but this comes with the system so in terms of controls the Switch 2 could be a contender for the best way to play certain games without needing extra hardware.

In general with the Xbox Series controller being basically identical to the Xbox One controller and the Dualsense not being that different from the Dualshock 4 it's nice to see Nintendo still trying to really innovate with controllers since built in mouse functionality has a lot of potential. Including a couple back buttons on the new Pro controller is another nice feature though since it's on an optional controller it won't be properly utilized so hopefully the next Xbox and Playstation controllers include that so developers can start taking better advantage of those extra buttons.
