Best OLED Accessories for Nintendo Switch in 2022

The Satisfye ZenGrip Pro OLED is the best grip you can buy for the Nintendo Switch OLED. If you find the Switch uncomfortable to hold, the ZenGrip adds more conventional grips to the console for a more ergonomic form factor. It feels just as premium as Satisfye’s previous grips, but is compatible with both the Switch OLED and the regular Switch. The switch slides into the handle for a snug and secure fit. Although the Switch’s kickstand isn’t accessible in the grip, it does come with a built-in kickstand. Keep in mind that this isn’t a dockable case, so you’ll have to remove it every time you want to play on the TV. However, the grip’s protective rubber tabs prevent the back of the console from being scratched. You can buy the grip individually for $30 or a bundle that comes with a special carrying case big enough for the Switch while it’s in the grip.

A protective case is an absolute necessity for a Switch console, and JETech’s case is a sturdy piece of security that can encase your handheld. It’s made from premium TPU and PC materials, the transparent design means you can view your new console in all its glory, and the frame has an ergonomic design factor that should make it comfortable to wear for marathon gaming sessions grasp.

With an integrated high-quality OLED screen, you should make sure that the new Switch display is not exposed to dust, possible scratches or greasy fingerprints. To put those thoughts to rest, you can easily add an iVoler tempered glass screen protector to your console. You still get the full visual experience and touchscreen functionality with this ultra-clear and ultra-thin piece of protection. Even better, you get four screen protectors in case one gets damaged. Just swap them out with the included installation frame and you’re good to go.

The Nintendo Switch may have made its mark as a hybrid home and handheld gaming console, but it’s not exactly the most comfortable device to cradle in for long sessions. Fortunately, this problem can be solved with the Hori Split Pad Pro, an ergonomic solution that replaces the regular Joy-Con controllers with a more familiar controller experience. Each of the controllers features large grips, buttons, and traditional analog sticks. It also has assignable rear triggers and turbo function.

The Orzly carrying case does exactly what you’d expect it to do, but is designed for the OLED switch, and the top section can also store extra Joy-Cons, cables, games, and other smaller but essential accessories. It should also be durable as the hard EVA shell is complemented by soft materials on the inside designed to protect your Switch.

Another tote bag option, the big difference with the Tomtoc version is an increase in storage space. It can easily fit any of the major Switch models and a Switch Pro controller inside. You can also throw in up to 24 game cartridges. If your Switch is running low on power, you can charge it while you play using a built-in kickstand to prop your console up. All that plus some sturdy builds in a variety of durable materials.

It might be the largest carrying case on this list, but the Heystop Travel Case is a durable option designed to carry an entire library of games. You fit your switch, dock, cables, accessories and games in the lightweight case. You can rest assured that it’s made from materials designed to offer protection from the outside world and unfortunate mishaps.

Nintendo’s official controller is an excellent peripheral. The ergonomic design makes it much more comfortable to use than Joy-Cons, the design is attractively transparent, and it has a battery life that can survive multiple ice ages. Even better, you can use this controller on your PC too, but for most Switch users looking for a familiar input experience, this is a must-have extra.

Retro games and titles inspired by the past make up a large part of the Switch library, and for maximum nostalgia points the 8BitDo Pro 2 is a great controller. Sharing some design traits of the controllers of the past, this wireless peripheral still has a smart ergonomic design and is also compatible with PC, Android, and iOS devices. Not only is the D-Pad in a better spot than on the Switch Pro Controller, it also has two programmable back triggers, making it very versatile.

The Switch OLED model has a healthy amount of internal storage – 64GB, to be precise – but more is always better. SanDisk’s 256GB Ultra microSD gives you a significant upgrade to your switch’s storage capacity, and with a transfer speed of 120MB/s, you can move data to and from it fairly quickly.

If you want to isolate yourself from the world around you while gaming, a headset is a must. SteelSeries has long been a popular brand for a number of reasons. This particular headset has everything you could want from an audio device: it’s reasonably priced, it has Bluetooth functionality, and it can channel excellent audio into your head. Also, this is a universal headset, so you can use it with all your devices.

When you’re dying to finish a level but your battery is low, a power bank can be a lifesaver. Antank’s model is particularly good because not only does it keep console lighting on with its 10,000mAh rechargeable battery, but it also attaches to the back of your Switch with a rear mounting clip. It can also charge your Switch in around four hours, it has various electrical protections to prevent damage from an unexpected surge, and it’s also compatible with a wide range of other devices thanks to its USB-C inputs.
