Our own Cameron Faulkner has gone to great lengthsto testmany 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tomtoc’s hardshell case for the Switch 2 features a soft touch and a slim fit; it also includes a flap that protects the console’s screen while providing space for up to 12 cartridges.
Jsaux’s protective case covers the front and rear of the Switch 2 as well as Joy-Cons. It has a cutout for the kickstand, and under its top lid are slots for storing 10 game cartridges.
The 8BitDo’s latest adapter resembles a flash drive, but once connected to your Switch’s dock, it allows you to wirelessly pair it with a variety of PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers.
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.
Anker’s 10,000mAh Zolo Power Bank is the epitome of an everyday carry. The clever USB-C charger can quickly supply up to 30 watts of power to phones and other devices, and it’s outfitted with a built-in 5.4-inch cable so you needn’t worry about grabbing your cord before heading out the door.
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.
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.
A compact and comfy gamepad with silent sticks and buttons. Its shape and curves feels much like Nintendo’s Switch 2 Pro Controller, but it uses drift-free TMR sticks.
The Pro 3 features swappable ABXY face buttons and joystick caps, providing players with a highly customizable experience. It also features new L4 and R4 macro buttons between the triggers and its USB-C charging port, along with more durable and power efficient TMR joysticks. Read our review.
