The Nintendo Switch is a versatile console, and every player uses it differently. Preferences in genres, playing in portable and desktop mode, duration of sessions – all these little things determine our gaming experience, making it truly individual. Accessories are designed to ensure that the console is not just a functional tool, but a convenient gaming system that meets exactly your requirements and objectives.
The Best Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite Accessories
Nintendo Switch accessories fall into two main categories: gaming and utility.
Gaming accessories are various controllers whose ergonomics are optimized for specific genres. So, if some players cannot imagine a gamepad without point feedback, others will prefer to abandon additional functions for the sake of light weight and ergonomics. Whatever genre of games you prefer, there is a specialized controller for it: with large thumbsticks for shooters, a full-fledged D-pad for arcades, or a specific button layout for fighting games.
Most gamepads are universal, but there are also highly specialized controllers tailored for specific genres. These include steering wheels and pedals for racing simulators, as well as special motion controllers for sports games.
Utilitarian accessories are devices that do not directly affect gameplay, but make the game more comfortable. Utilitarian accessories include headphones, docking stations, memory cards, and carrying cases.
How to choose an accessory for the Switch game console?
Depending on what games you play and how you use your console, different accessories can have different effects on your gaming experience. Accessories come in a variety of price categories, but the price of a device is not necessarily identical to the benefits of its use. There are no bad gadgets, and each of them serves a specific purpose. Thus, even the simplest attachments for analog sticks will improve the ergonomics of the controller, and an inexpensive film will reliably protect the screen from scratches.
Accessories for the Nintendo Switch are represented by a huge variety of devices of various classes – if you are missing something, then, most likely, a special gadget has already been invented for this. Does the console seem too thin? Check out alternative controllers and cases with ergonomic handles. Do you want to turn your console into a full-fledged arcade machine? Classic controllers are ideal for this. Remember: the capabilities of your console are limited only by your own imagination.
Everything you need for virtual competitions
In addition to standard gamepads, Nintendo Switch users have access to specialized controllers – steering wheels and arcade sticks.
Steering wheels are designed for racing; they are divided into arcade and professional. The difference between these models is the angle of rotation. Arcade steering wheels turn a quarter or half a turn in one direction, providing fast and sharp maneuvers. Professional steering wheels can be turned a full turn, making control more realistic.
Arcade sticks copy the design of arcade machines. Typically, they include eight character control keys and a digital joystick. This joystick does not register deflection force but allows for quick combos, which will be critical for fighting games. Arcade sticks can be wired, wireless, or combined.
Useful gadgets for Nintendo
Useful gadgets are simple and functional gadgets for your collection. These include gamepads, headphones, and controller charging stations.
Gamepads for Nintendo Switch come in a range of different models, differing in shape, design, and configuration. Full-size gamepads are universal models that are suitable for games of any genre. Controllers with an asymmetrical stick arrangement will be more convenient in shooters and action games, while gamepads with a standard configuration are suitable for classic games and adventures. In addition to standard colors, gamepads can be made in an unusual design or color based on a popular franchise. Such controllers will become not only a useful accessory, but also a pleasant gift for any gamer.
Headphones and headsets will help you immerse yourself in the gaming process by isolating external noise and providing surround sound. All classic headphones work with a standard 3.5 plug, which can be connected to the TV or the console itself, even if it is installed in a docking station.
Charging stations are designed for convenient storage and charging of controllers. These devices differ in the number and type of connected gamepads. Linear charging stations will be able to charge Joy-Con controllers, while USB-C devices are designed for full-size controllers. There are also combined stations that combine both interfaces.
What else to buy for the Nintendo Switch console?
If you already have everything you need for a comfortable game, it’s time to take care of your console. The case, made of fabric or metal, will reliably protect your Nintendo Switch on the road. There are many cases to choose from in a variety of colors, simple designs, and bright styles of your favorite games. For convenient transportation of cartridges, compact cases made of durable plastic or aluminum are indispensable. You no longer have to carry a bunch of bulky boxes with you; your entire collection is now right at your fingertips.
If you frequently use your console in public places, silicone and plastic cases can help protect your device from scratches and bumps. Some cases are equipped with additional handles that make the console more grippy and ergonomic.
