The Nintendo Switch is already beloved for its excellent
plug-and-play gaming experience. However, gaming with the Nintendo Switch gets
even better once you've picked up some of the right accessories.
This list takes you through some of the best Nintendo Switch accessories you can buy right now,
from microSD cards and controllers to grips and docks.
Keep in mind that these products are all designed for the original Nintendo Switch console, which you
can play on your TV or in handheld mode. While many of these might work with the
new Switch OLED and smaller Switch Lite, such
as the controllers, several items on the list won't because of the size differences in design and screen or lack of video output.
(There may be other versions to buy that are compatible with the Switch Lite.)

PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller
Nintendo's Switch Pro Controller feels better
to play with than any other third-party full-size Switch controller we've tried.
The is also between $60 and $70 to buy. The PowerA wireless controller
comes closest to the feel and design of Nintendo's Pro controller, and you can normally get it for
$40 to $50, depending on the design, from Amazon, Best Buy
and other sources. The PowerA wireless controller doesn't
have HD Rumble, IR or Amiibo NFC support like the
Switch Pro controller does, but it does have motion controls.
It's also available in game-themed versions including Animal Crossing, Mario and Pokemon.
Its one added feature is two extra buttons on the bottom of
the controller that can be mapped on the fly.
Also, while the original version of the Enhanced Wireless Controller ran on AA-size batteries, the newest models have a
built-in rechargeable battery for up to 30 hours of gameplay.

SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless Headset
Attach the tiny USB-C dongle to the Switch and you're good to play with
this lightweight, comfortable gaming headset. It uses the company's lossless 2.4GHz wireless for ultralow-latency wireless connectivity.
I never experienced any dropouts or lag while using them, but SteelSeries includes a
cable if you want to use it if you don't want to risk it.
The noise-canceling mic is detachable and the earcups turn and lie flat for easier travel.
These will work with the , as well.

and the Hori Split Pad Pro controller so you stay protected when traveling and playing.
But you guessed it: This won't fit the Switch Lite.

HyperDrive 60-watt USB-C Power Hub for Nintendo Switch
It's pricey at just under $100, but Hyper's all-in-one hub for the Switch is worth it for its simplicity and design.
Connect up your Switch, external display (the HDMI out supports
up to 4K resolution at 60Hz) and a controller, plug in the HyperDrive for power and you're done.
One of its USB-C ports can be used for powering and charging the Switch and there's an extra USB-C port for charging a
wireless controller or your phone or tablet.
It's small, too, and the power cable detaches, so
traveling with it is no problem at all.

you charge. The PowerCore Plus can deliver 45 watts of charging power through its USB-C port.
It can also charge up other devices like your phone through its USB-A ports.
The package also includes a 60-watt USB-C wall charger that can refill this
massive bank in less than three and a half hours.

. This gives you the comfort and larger controls of the Pro controller
while you use the Switch handheld.
However, unlike Hori's controller, the Binbok Joypad
can be used off the Switch because each has a built-in battery
and Bluetooth. Their design makes them awkward to hold as Joy-Cons but it can be done, and
each has adjustable rumble and motion controls.
They both have a mappable button on the inside of their grips as
well as turbo buttons. The Home button can wake the Switch when you're ready to game and you can even change the color of the LED light rings around the thumb sticks.
The included holder joins the two controllers together to form
a single Pro-like controller like Nintendo's Joy-Con Comfort Grip.
Unfortunately, this won't allow you to charge both controllers
at the same time; each of the controllers needs to be charged separately through their USB-C ports or while
attached to the Switch when it's charging (you can leave the controllers attached when docked).
The holder is unusually wide, too, and with the controllers attached it's
actually larger than a Pro controller. There's some flex where the controllers slot onto
the holder giving it a tenuous feel. That flex, combined with its lightweight, makes the whole thing
feel flimsy. Still, it's not like Nintendo's Joy-Cons are known for their reliability and
overall this is an excellent option if you want to pay less and do more.

, which is on our list and supports aptX LL. Insert the included analog
microphone into the Switch's headset jack and you're ready for voice chat during multiplayer games that support it like
Overwatch and Fortnite. (A quick firmware update is
needed for it to work, though.)
If you also have a PS4 or PS5, the mic can be plugged into your controller for voice chat with that console.
Plus, Creative includes a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter so you can connect your Bluetooth headphones to the PS4.
The adapter also supports regular aptX and aptX HD codecs as well as SBC
(subband codec). You just press the adapter's button to choose.
And while you might buy this for your Switch (or PS4) you can just move the adapter to your phone or computer and instantly
use your headphones with those without having
to connect all over again. For $40, the little kit is a pretty good deal.

IOGear Dock Pro 60 USB-C 4K Station with Game+ Mode
If you want to dock your Switch as well as expand your laptop's port options
when you're not gaming, the Dock Pro 60 is all you need. The slim, small, lightweight Nintendo Switch dock has two USB-C
ports, one of which supports power input. Connect your Switch to the
other USB-C port and use the dock's HDMI port to connect to a TV or external (resolutions up to 4K UHD will
work) and you're ready to start gaming with friends and family on a bigger screen. There are
also two USB-A ports if you want to use a wired controller or charge wireless
ones.
Note, though, that this does require a USB-C 15V/2.6A power
supply such as the YCCTeam adapter below or the
one that comes with your Switch.
Bonus for Samsung Galaxy device users: The Dock Pro 60 supports so you can use your phone or tablet with an external display and a
desktop-style experience.

so you can use your headphones when docked, too.
The Creative adapter's design mentioned earlier in this list
is better for multipurpose use, but if you're just looking for use with the Switch, this is a great pick.

Waterfield Design CitySlicker Case
The CitySlicker is a discreet way to travel with your Switch and accessories. The case looks more like a high-end travel bag than gaming gear, but it is made specifically for the Switch with five game card storage slots in front, a microfiber-faced interior pocket that swipes your screen clean when you insert and remove your Switch, and a zippered pocket on back to hold a power bank, cleaning cloth or earbuds. The two inside pockets are big enough to hold an extra set of joy-cons and cables. The case is available in three sizes for the Switch Lite, Switch and Switch Max, which is large enough to hold the Switch while it's in the Skull & Co. GripCase or any similarly sized protective case. It'll even fit the Defway dock listed above.
