While the Switch remains firmly established at the top of handheld device lists, Valve’s Steam Deck isn’t far behind. This accessory makes the Switch transform into a Steam Deck with its unique setup. The accessory offers unique functionalities as well as a modified gaming experience. The device feels more comfortable than a regular Switch and the USB connectivity ensures lower latency-related issues.

2. Mumba Game Card Holder

Mumba is one of the oldest protective case makers for the Nintendo Switch. This keychain game card holder has the looks of a Swiss knife and can hold all of your (well, most of them at least) games in one place so you don’t get FOMO-hit when you’re not at your home. This also has an industrial vibe and can be carried easily because of its fitted design.

3. Pad Pros

These slightly larger-than-stock Hori Split Joy-Con heads can be a great cheap alternative to what the Switch comes with from the store. The pads feel fantastic in handheld mode and also work when docked. The pads come with a turbo function that doesn’t lose its accuracy or precision. While the Joy-Con pads won’t fit in a Nintendo Switch case, it’s also worth it because it’s totally worth it.

4. 8VBitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller

This Bluetooth Switch accessory can become a game changer with its feature that allows for mirroring the Nintendo Pro Controller. In addition, the 8BitDo controller also has back panels for custom mapping and can be connected without any hiccups. Its elevated gaming experience makes this controller the go-to option for many Switch users who enjoy feeling their controllers rumble (oh, and the rumble intensity can be adjusted to your preferred levels).

5. Genki’s Switch Dock

Genki is a brand known for its authentic third-party Nintendo Switch products. The latest dock is a device that lets users connect their Switch consoles to their TVs with a bare minimum of hassle. This is the world’s tiniest Switch docking device that does away with the complexity of other third-party docking devices entirely.
