The 5 Best Nintendo Switch Accessories for Better Gaming

The Nintendo Switch was a big hit for Nintendo. Its dual design as a home console and portable unit allows it to fill a niche that consoles rarely manage to reach. Of course, it's not perfect; whether you want to move it around safely or just want it to be more comfortable in your hands, it has its issues. Fortunately, the Switch's success has opened the door to a range of great accessories that help you get the most out of the console. Here are the five best Nintendo Switch accessories that address specific issues people are having with the console.

1. Orzly carry case

The Switch is a very travel-friendly console; it's pretty much a home and portable console all rolled into one. When you want to take it out, it can be difficult to make sure it doesn't get bumped or scratched during transport.

The Switch already has support, but it's not very high quality. If you want something a little closer to eye level, the HORI Compact Gaming Stand is a great choice. This stand comes with three adjustable angles so you can get the best view. There's even a small space for the charger to fit, so you can charge the batteries while you play.

3. JETech Protective Case

If you have larger hands, it might be slightly painful to hold the Switch in handheld mode. This protective case by JETech gives the console a few extra grips to hold onto. It also protects (as you might have guessed from the name!) the Switch from scratches and bumps.

4. PowerA Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Charging Dock

It's possible to get multiple sets of Joy-Cons for multiplayer games if you don't feel like buying the Pro Controller. Unfortunately, the Switch console itself can only charge one pair of Joy-Cons at a time.

This charging station by PowerA solves that problem. It's a dock that can handle four individual Joy-Cons (i.e. two pairs) at once. Combined with the Switch's own charging capabilities, you can charge three Joy-Cons players at the same time.

5. Orzly Switch Accessory Kit
