While picking up a PS5 or Xbox Series X means you're pretty much set from the start, the Nintendo Switch 2 is a bit different. Thanks to its versatility, such as docking it to your TV, setting it up on a desk, or playing in handheld mode, it’s the kind of console that really benefits from a few extra — trust me, I own one.
Think of it this way: a great Switch 2 case will protect your console on the go, and a top-tier power bank will keep your game sessions going longer.

Why we chose the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller
As mentioned already, the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, for our money at least, is one of the very best accessories you can get for the console right now. It introduces the familiarity of a gamepad to the console, while bringing a few extra features to the dance as well.
Key Features:
- New Customizable Back Buttons (GL/GR): Offers two programmable rear buttons with per-game mapping — great for faster reactions in competitive games.
- GameChat “C” Button & 3.5mm Audio Jack: Seamlessly access in-game voice chat and plug in a headset (stay tuned for our recommendation) for better communication — something the original Pro lacked.
- HD Rumble 2 & Motion Controls: Refined haptic feedback and smooth motion tracking enhance gameplay without being distracting.
- Improved Charging & Wake-from-Sleep Support: Powers up the Switch 2 directly from the controller and charge it via USB-C in 3.5 hours.
Although there are a few cheaper controllers out there, none of them offer the same level of compatibility with the Switch 2's new features as this Pro Controller. Because of this, it's one of our favorite Switch 2 accessories.
Why we chose the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera
The Nintendo Switch 2 Camera isn't a must-have accessory, but it does go hand-in-hand with the console's GameChat function, which introduces a new Discord-like way of chatting to your friends online. With this camera, you can showcase yourself, as well as your in-game skills, in top-tier detail.
Key Features:
- Full 1080p Wide-Angle Lens (110° FOV): Captures large spaces and multiple people in high quality, which is perfect for the new GameChat function.
- Compact, Lightweight Design: Small enough to avoid being intrusive during handheld or docked play, and easy to pack for travel.
- Integrated Privacy Features: Includes a sliding privacy shutter and a green activity light, giving users visual and physical control over their camera use.
- Auto Brightness & Face Detection: Adjusts to harsh or low lighting conditions automatically, keeping your face clear and visible even in difficult setups.
- Useful Extras (Tilt & Zoom, Cable Management): Tilting head, zoom options, and a built-in cable clip help personalize your setup and keep things clean.
The Switch 2 Camera is a great accessory, and may even get better if/when game developers start integrating its functionality into future game releases. With this in mind, make sure you check it out if you want to build your accessory collection.
Why we chose the HORI Compact Carry All Travel Bag
If you're planning long-distance travel and want to bring your full setup, including the aforementioned camera, console, and more, the HORI Compact Carry All Travel Bag is the ultimate solution.
Key Features:
- Spacious, Adjustable Storage: Features five compartments designed to neatly organize your Switch 2, dock, AC adapter, cables, controllers, and more.
- Cross-System Compatibility: Works with Nintendo Switch 2, Switch OLED, and original Switch models.
- Compact Yet Roomy: Despite its name, the "Compact Carry All" manages to balance portability with generous space, making it perfect for travelling.
- Official Nintendo Licensing: Ensures a high standard of quality and compatibility.
While it’s bulkier than a standard case, the extra room makes it a smart choice for anyone looking to travel with their full Switch 2 setup in tow.
Why we chose the Savage Raven by Skull & Co. NeoGrip
An alternative option when it comes to casing is the Skull & Co. NeoGrip, which turns the Switch 2 into something more akin to a traditional controller when in handheld mode than otherwise possible.
Key Features:
- Interchangeable Grips: Comes with 3 swappable grip styles to fit all hand sizes.
- Ergonomic Handheld Play: Designed specifically to reduce hand fatigue during long gaming sessions, making it ideal for handheld-focused players.
- No Obstruction Design: Maintains full access to card slots, buttons, vents, and the console’s kickstand.
- Dock-Compatible: You can dock your Switch 2 without removing the grip, adding to the overall convenience.
- Hard PC Shell: Offers solid impact resistance against drops or scratches, helping protect your console.
This one really isn't a must-have accessory, and whether or not you need it depends on how often you use the Switch 2 in handheld mode. If that turns out to be often and you find your hands tire easily, this NeoGrip case might be the answer you're looking for.
Why we chose the Belkin Gaming Power Bank
The Belkin Gaming Power Bank stands out as one of the most well-rounded power banks for the Switch 2, especially since it was designed with Nintendo’s latest console in mind. And with a surprisingly affordable price tag for its specs, it’s a strong accessory to consider investing in.
Key Features:
- Fast USB-C Charging at 30W: Delivers quick power with enough in the tank to fully recharge the console up to 3 times.
- Charge 3 Devices Simultaneously: Equipped with both USB-C and USB-A ports, supporting a total output of 30W for gaming on the go with friends or other devices.
- Travel-Ready Design: Compact, lightweight, and air travel approved, making it ideal for long flights or road trips with your Switch 2.
- Built-In USB-C Cable: Plug directly to the device thanks to a convenient integrated cable.
- Eco-Friendly & Safe: Made from 75% recycled materials and tested across 177 safety checks via Belkin SmartProtect.
So, not only does this power bank keep your Switch 2 running longer, but its sustainable design makes it a smarter, more responsible choice, thus earning it a spot as one of the best power banks out there.
Why we chose the RIG 900 MAX
Owning a gaming headset as good as the RIG 900 MAX allows you to not only play games while maintaining the peace and quiet for those around you, but also allows you to become more competitive in games where audio cues and in-game communication are key.
Key Features:
- Dolby Atmos Support & Excellent Positional Audio: Ideal for competitive games on Switch 2, the 900 MAX HX makes tracking in-game sounds like footsteps or gunfire incredibly precise.
- Lightweight Yet Durable Build: Designed for long sessions, it offers lasting comfort with plush earcups and a sturdy metal headband, without the bulk of heavier headsets.
- Customizable Sound via Companion App: The ‘RIG 900 MAX Navigator’ app lets you fine-tune EQ, mic gain, and more so you can tailor audio across different Switch games.
- 50-Hour Battery with Wireless Connectivity: Connect wirelessly to Switch 2 via Bluetooth with virtually no latency, and recharge easily with the included charging dock.
- Flip-to-Mute Mic with Noise Cancellation: The boom mic blocks out background noise impressively, and you can mute yourself almost instantly by flipping it upwards.
Although the RIG 900 MAX's Switch 2 compatibility isn't explicitly stated, I can confirm it does work with the console, having put it to the test myself. And, knowing what it's capable of, I can't recommend it enough if you need a headset for your Switch 2 gaming sessions.
Why we chose the Dbrand PRISM 2.0 for Switch 2
One accessory we do think is an absolute must-have for the Switch 2 is a screen protector, and ideally, one as simple and straightforward to install as the Dbrand PRISM 2.0, hence its feature.
Key Features:
- Foolproof Installation Tray: Prism 2.0 includes a tray that's designed to be easy to install, delivering a flawless, bubble-free finish.
- Premium Tempered Glass (7H Hardness): Scratch-resistant and ultra-durable, it guards your Switch 2 screen against everyday damage.
- Edge-to-Edge Optical Clarity: Full-screen coverage and invisible finish make it look and feel like there’s nothing on your screen.
- Dust-Repellent Static Layer: The built-in anti-dust feature keeps particles from getting trapped under the protector during installation.
- Oleophobic Coating: Fingerprints and smudges are easy to wipe away, keeping your display clean and touch-responsive.
- Two Protectors Included: You get a second screen protector just in case...
You can't really go wrong with this screen protector, plus it gives that extra peace of mind that no matter what you do with your Switch 2, you shouldn't end up breaking its beautiful, and crucial, screen.
