Additional Equipment

I love these accessories and have found that they greatly improve my Switch gaming sessions. See if anything catches your eye.

Pro Controller

$60 at Best Buy

This traditional-looking controller features motion controls, rumble, and NFC capabilities. It works great with either the original Nintendo Switch or the smaller Switch Lite.

Hori Compact Playstand

$13 at Amazon

There are times when you want to prop up your Switch or Switch Lite without using your hands. I absolutely love this stand and use it every day.

Gimme some space!

$24 at Amazon

Your Nintendo Switch only has 32GB of internal memory. If you plan on downloading a bunch of games, you're going to want to invest in a quality micro SD card like this one.
