Best Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories

The Joy-Con 2 controllers on the Nintendo Switch 2 work fine, but they're too small for long gaming sessions. The official Switch 2 Pro Controller is a more comfortable, full-size gamepad with well-spaced buttons, motion controls, HD Rumble 2 for better feedback, and a dedicated C Button for quick GameChat access. It also features customizable GL and GR buttons and a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio.

The dbrand Killswitch case wraps your console in an exoskeleton that bulges confidently at the grips and is ergonomically sculpted to fill your hands. There are also precise cutouts for the USB-C port and the Joy-Cons, which still detach freely without you taking off the case. Plus, there's a kickstand if you decide to set it down for tabletop play.

The amCase product is a rectangular case with rounded edges and it's wrapped in a smooth matte fabric. The outer shell is dense and firm enough to take pressure from the outside. The zipper runs around the edge with a tight seal to keep your contents from falling out. The interior has a soft, velvety lining with elastic straps that should hug your Switch 2 in place. There's also a mesh pocket for accessories and a flap in the centre to hold up to 10 game cartridges.

If you prefer to download your games instead of buying physical cartridges, you’ll find that the default 256GB of storage fills up faster than expected. Get a MicroSD Express card to enjoy extra space. SanDisk has been a trusted name in storage for decades and has consistently sold high-performance memory cards. Their 256GB microSD Express card offers fast speeds of up to 880MB/s read and 650MB/s write. The card is also waterproof.

One other shortcoming of Nintendo’s basic grip is that it doesn’t charge. Once the batteries run low, you either stop playing and dock them or swap them out. This charging grip is almost identical to the original one. However, it has a USB-C port built in. You’ll slide your Joy-Cons into the sides as usual, then plug in the cable and you can keep playing while the controllers charge. 

Your Nintendo Switch 2 can stylishly fit into your home decor with an Ankey wall mount. It's a black steel bracket with a custom base. You can mount it beside your TV to give it a floating appearance. You can hook up your Pro controller and Joy-Con grips beneath the console in matching black holders to balance your setup.

Nintendo offers an official screen protector for the Switch 2 that's bundled with a carrying case. But it has received a fair amount of criticism from users. It's not tempered glass, but a thin plastic film that bubbles easily during installation, even when applied with care. There are many good brands that offer tempered glass protectors. amFilm is among them and offers a three-pack product with 9H hardness and a snap-on alignment frame. Simply place the frame on the console, set your glass, and it will rest in place perfectly.
