When you got yourself a Nintendo Switch, you'll be too preoccupied scanning through various games you can start playing. But like all game consoles, Nintendo Switch comes with accessories. Here are some you might want or even need for your handheld console.
1. Tempered Glass Screen Protector
You can be the most careful person in the world, but you still can't risk the possibility of cracking your screen or even just scratching it. Since the Switch is a handheld device, they are more prone to damage along the way, and you'll want to avoid that.
Get yourself a screen protector, preferably a tempered glass kind. Not only will it prevent your screen from having scratches, but it will also take the damage if you do drop your device. A cracked tempered glass screen protector is much cheaper to replace than the screen itself.
2. Charging Dock
If you're an avid gamer, it's possible that you have spare Joy-Cons at hand. The thing is, you can't really charge them all at once with your Nintendo Switch. HyperX Chargeplay Quad has four slots just in case you have four extra Joy-Cons. You can even use old phone cords since it uses a basic micro USB cable.
3. Protective Case
Yes, we have covered screen protectors, but what about the rest of the device? A case will give your Switch extra padding in case you drop it, and it could also help with your grip. As suggested by Wired, you can buy the Orzly Protective Caes, which is made of thermoplastic polyurethane and has a hard but rubberized feel.
4. Carry Case
One of the good things about the Nintendo Switch is its portability. Still, you'll need a bag to carry it. The Orzly carry case has a hard EVA shell and can carry a lot including your Switch, spare Joy-Cons, charging cord, and up to eight SD cards all in one small bag.
6. Controller
If you feel like the Joy-Cons are just not giving you the feel of a traditional controller, you can always buy one. You can get the official Nintendo Pro Controller for more precise gameplay, and it has Amiibo functionality, which other controllers simply do not have, according to GamesRadar.
7. Joy-Con Handles
If you want a better grip on the Joy-Con but don't want to spend much on Nintendo's official controller, you can always opt for a handle. All you have to do is slot the Joy-Con in, and it will feel as though you are holding an actual console controller. A cheap solution if the Joy-Con is just too small for you.
8. Headrest Mount
For long car rides, the Nintendo Switch is your friend so you can pass the time playing your favorite games. To take it up a notch, you can even place your device's screen in front of you by placing it on a headrest.
If that sounds like a good idea for you, you can purchase a mount for your screen. The TFY car headrest mounts for Switch have an elastic velcro strap so they can fit any size or shape regarding headrests.
