7 Best Nintendo Switch Accessories

Specs:

• Bluetooth/2.4g adapter/USB Cable
• Hall Effect Sensing Joystick
• 2 Pro customizable back paddle buttons
• Multifunctional Charging Dock

You wouldn’t want to wear those Joy-Cons out prematurely, would you? They don’t exactly feel sturdy, so best grab yourself one of these babies. The 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller is the most well-rounded controller right now.

It’s available for a wide range of devices and platforms and even comes with back paddle buttons for extra control. But the real winning feature here are the hall-sensing analog sticks which have pinpoint precision and won’t wear out as fast as the usual DualSense or Xbox controller.

Specs:

• 26800 Milliampere Hour (mAh) capacity
• Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0
• 18-month worry-free warranty
• USB Type C, Lightning, Micro USB

The Nintendo Switch isn’t known for its impressive battery life, especially if you have the non-OLED version. So you’ll always want to keep a power bank in the bag for some emergency low-bat prompts.

And for the best power bank right now, the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 remains the strongest option while also being the most reliable. With this, you can charge the Switch around five to six times over in a single cycle.

Specs:

• 100MB/s transfer speed
• Class 10
• Comes with an adapter

Thankfully, Nintendo Switch games aren’t severe storage hogs, because otherwise, you’d need a larger-capacity microSD card whose price can quickly spiral out of control. A 128GB card is good enough.

You can always go higher, of course. But this class 10 microSD will suffice for your needs, especially since you’ll likely be fixated on one game for the moment and a few other small ones.

Specs:

• Full-size grips
• Officially licensed
• Rear triggers and turbo functionality

One of the downsides of the regular Joy-Con would be the rather monolithic design, which isn’t the best for grip. So if you’re going to buy some backup Joy-Cons, you could instead go for the Hori Switch Split Pad Pro.

They’re like Joy-Cons with bigger buttons and an actual full-size grip for better control and stability. You also don’t have to worry about incompatibility since they’re officially licensed.

Specs:

• 40-Hour Playtime
• IPX7-rated protection
• Waterproof
• Microphone

Apart from the display and the brightness, sound is another huge battery drainer for the Nintendo Switch. So alleviate some of its energy burdens with wireless earbuds.

We have here another banger from Anker and it’s one of the most popular budget wireless earbuds in the market. Because it’s not just for the Switch but everything else since its waterproof.

Specs:

• 4K 60Hz HDR Video Output
• USB-A
• HDMI

The default Nintendo Switch dock is a little too bulky for transport so you might want to opt for something smaller but equally capable. That would be the HyperDrive Switch Dock.

It comes with a 60W charger which is enough for fast charging these days; it can also output up to 4K 60Hz which is modern enough for most television sets these days.

Features:

• 11.2 x 4 x 9 inches
• Comes with a strap
• Fits Switch, charger, dock, Switch controller, and extra Joy-Cons

Most Nintendo Switch bundles these days already come with the default case though this case can be a little limiting if you plan to use the Switch for more than a couple of hours. So a larger bag like this one from ivoler should suffice.

It can fit just about any of the Nintendo Switch accessories we have included in this page. If you want the default large dock, then you can bring that as well. Best part is that you can free your hands since it has a strap.
