You already have a Switch, some games, and a subscription — what else do you need?How about some of the best console accessories that can make controlling, traveling, and powering your console a more enjoyable experience
The official Nintendo Switch Pro controller is not only the most comfortable way to play Switch games, it's probably the most comfortable controller on the entire market. It's very important if you want to play first-person shooters and other fast-paced games in TV mode on Switch;If you have larger hands, it will make long gaming sessions more comfortable.
The controller has two full-sized analog sticks for more careful movements, both for on-screen characters and crosshairs. This makes it easier and more comfortable to aim** or traverse tricky platform sections, and the full-sized face buttons have more travel and a better overall feel than the buttons on the joy-con.
The Pro controller includes gyroscope features for motion aiming, better HD vibration, and built-in amiibo features like Joy-Con. The ZL and ZR triggers are not analog triggers, nor do they have an IR scanner, but you won't care when you feel the controller in your hand. It is charged via USB-C and the battery can last up to 40 hours.
Babitdo produces some of the best third-party controllers on the market, so it's no surprise that the Pro 2 Bluetooth controller is at the top of its class. Based on last year's Nintendo controller layout, this sleek gamepad brings a modern twist to an otherwise distinctly retro design.
While it may seem old-school, the 8Bitdo Pro 2 offers Bluetooth connectivity, switch, PC, and mobile support, and even allows you to set up custom profiles. You can also use two customizable back buttons – which is a bit lightweight for a "professional" controller, but a nice touch for this retro design.
In addition to the customizable back button, you can also modify the vibration settings of the Pro 2 Bluetooth controller. There's even a six-axis motion sensor for motion control and adjustable triggers that come in handy in fast-paced multiplayer.
Most players will find this retro gamepad to be a welcome addition to their collection, especially considering it.
Sure, the Nintendo Switch is a portable device, but if you want to play it on your TV on the go, it's not the easiest device to take with you. Sure, you can unplug the base that comes with the Switch and take it with you, but the size of the case makes it a hassle, not to mention that your cable is unlikely to be in a convenient place to unplug.
An easier option is a smaller portable dock, and the Rocketfish TV Dock Kit is perfect for both Switch and Switch OLED versions. It's a barebones dock with no extra bells and whistles, but it meets your needs in a more compact form factor than the official Switch dock, what more could you need?The TV dock kit also has a certain weight, so you don't need to worry about a minor bump moving your console out of place.
That said, it's not the smallest Switch Dock, but Rocketfish's Dock balances size,**, and build quality, making the slightly larger size worth it.
While this charger is marketed to iPhone users, it can be used on any device that has a USB-C connector, including the Switch. You also don't need a separate USB-C cable - the connector is built into the library itself, so you can plug it in and go**. Due to its size, it snuggles up to the bottom of the switch when charging and won't get in the way of you or add too much weight.
However, the main problem with a portable charger is that it has a smaller battery. A smaller battery means fewer recharges, so you can't expect this charger to keep your Switch running for hours. But if you just need fast charging, then this charger is unbeatable.
