The Switch 2’s price is set to increase by $50 on September 1st, starting at $499.99, so if you’re purchasing one before that (or you already own one), now’s a good time to also save on accessories while you can. Amazon’s Prime Day has delivered many great game deals, but some of the best sales are also on controllers, chargers, and other related products.
Our own Cameron Faulkner has gone to great lengths to test many of these for the Switch 2. There are great options from well-known brands like Belkin, 8BitDo, and Samsung, but there are some lesser known options from the likes of EasySMX and Tomtoc that are also gems. Like the original Switch, the Switch 2’s hybrid handheld nature allows you to accessorize it in unique ways — some of which can offer very nice quality of life improvements for either on-the-go or at-home play.
Here are our top choices for Prime Day deals on a variety of Switch 2 accessories.
Samsung P9 microSD Express Card
The P9 is great if you need more storage for your Nintendo Switch 2. The microSD Express card offers sequential read speeds of up to 800MB/s, but only gadgets with a microSD Express card slot can take full advantage of the highest speeds. That includes certain cameras, tablets, and drones with a microSD USH-I slot.
Where to Buy:
amFilm three-pack of glossy screen protectors
My go-to screen protector brand for years has been amFilm. Three glossy tempered glass sheets come in the box, and the tools make installation fairly simple. JSAUX’s model is just as good based on my testing, and just as affordable.
Where to Buy:
AmFilm OneTouch screen protectors (two-pack)
In keeping up with some brands that offer faster installations, amFilm offers a two-pack of glossy protectors that includes a “OneTouch” tray. Remove the protector’s bottom film, attach the tray to your device, and then press gently on the protector until it’s fully applied.
Where to Buy:
amFilm two-pack of matte screen protectors
Let’s start with one of the most affordable options if you want to go the matte-textured route. AmFilm sells a two-pack of protectors at Amazon for $8.99. The set includes a plastic frame that serves as a guide to align the protector just right. JSAUX makes a similar product that’s the same price.
Where to Buy:
amFilm OneTouch two-pack of matte screen protectors
AmFilm also sells a two-pack with a OneTouch frame for easier installation. Again, keep in mind that opting for matte over glossy will reduce glare, but at the cost of viewing angles as well as the full vivid quality of the Switch 2’s screen. That’ll be an acceptable tradeoff for some, but not all people.

The Mechanism Gaming Pillow helps gamers stay comfortable for hours on end. Made from soft, high-performance Lycra, it holds tech up so their arms don’t have to, letting them play longer without arm strain. It also comes with a mount to accommodate one of many gaming handhelds, from the Steam Deck and Switch 2 to the ROG Ally X.
Where to Buy:
Logitech Brio 100 webcam
The official Nintendo Switch 2 webcam is expensive, so we suggest getting this cheaper Logitech 1080p model instead.
Where to Buy:

Powerful power banks don’t have to be cumbersome. Iniu’s 10,000mAh P50 is about as thick as a deck of cards, but features 45W charging speeds, two USB-C ports, and one USB-A port. Its braided lanyard also doubles as a USB-C cable, providing everything you need to keep all of your electronics fully juiced on the go.
Where to Buy:

The EasySMX S10 is our favorite Switch 2 controller for people who don’t want to spend twice as much on Nintendo’s option. It offers an excellent take on HD rumble, along with amiibo support and the ability to wake the Switch remotely. It features a swappable eight-way (circular) D-pad, and can also work with PC, Steam Deck, and mobile devices.
