The best accessory is the one that fixes a problem you actually have. Think about where you play most. If it’s the couch, a better controller or a spare power supply might be all you need. If the console lives in a bag, protection comes first.

This list covers both sides, so you can pick one or two upgrades rather than buying everything. Each pick says who it suits and who can happily skip it.

1. Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller

Best for: comfortable couch play

If there’s one add-on that changes how you play at home, it’s a proper controller. Nintendo’s wireless Pro Controller is the safe, first-party choice for the Switch 2, and it suits anyone who plays on the TV for long stretches.

It’s a good fit if you want something that feels like a natural extension of the console, without gimmicks. Handheld-only players can skip it, but anyone docking regularly will probably get plenty of use out of it.

2. Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case & Screen Protector

Best for: protecting your console on the move

This is the sensible pick for anyone who takes the Switch 2 out of the house. Nintendo’s package gives you a carrying case, a screen protector and a cleaning cloth, so it covers a few jobs at once.

It’s a good one for commuters, travellers and anyone who’s ever worried about a screen in a loose bag. If the console never leaves the dock, it’s an easy one to leave off the list.

3. Nintendo Switch 2 AC Adapter

Best for: a spare power supply

Not exciting, but handy. Nintendo’s AC adapter works with the Switch 2 console or the dock, which makes it a practical second charger if you split your time between rooms or want one ready for trips.

It’s best for people who are tired of unplugging and carrying the same cable around. If you only ever use one setup, the one you already have will do the job.

4. Nintendo Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip

Best for: keeping Joy-Con 2 topped up

If you play with Joy-Con 2 controllers detached from the console, a charging grip is a tidy way to keep them ready. It’s Nintendo’s own accessory, made for Joy-Con 2 controllers.

It suits couch players who use the Joy-Con regularly and want a simple routine for charging them. If you mostly use a Pro-style controller, you won’t miss it.

5. PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller with Hall Effect for Nintendo Switch 2 (black)

Best for: a third-party Pro-style alternative

PowerA’s wireless Pro-style controller is worth a look if you want a second option beyond Nintendo’s own. It’s built for the Switch 2 and comes in black, which keeps things understated.

It’s a good match for players who want a spare pad for multiplayer nights or who like to compare options before spending. If you’re after a particular feel, check how it sits in your hands before you commit.

6. PowerA Protection Case for Nintendo Switch 2 (black)

Best for: a second protective option

PowerA’s protection case is another way to look after the Switch 2 when it’s away from the dock. It comes in black and is made specifically for the console.

It suits anyone who’d like to compare cases rather than go straight for Nintendo’s. If you want a screen protector and cleaning cloth included, Nintendo’s bundle is the one that lists them.

7. Hori Turbo Eevee Cottage Core Wired Controller (Nintendo Switch 2)

Best for: Pokémon fans who want extras

This one’s for the fan who wants a controller with personality. It’s a wired Switch 2 pad with an Eevee design from Pokémon, programmable rear buttons and a turbo function.

The rear buttons are the draw if you like customising your setup, and the cute look will land with Pokémon fans. Because it’s wired, it’s better suited to docked play than sitting back on the couch with a long cable.

8. Nintendo Switch 2 Camera

Best for: adding a camera to your setup

Nintendo’s USB-C camera is the most specialised pick here. It’s made for the Switch 2 and is worth considering if you want a camera as part of your setup.

It’s an extra rather than an essential, so it suits the curious more than everyone. If you’re building a kit on a budget, protection and a good controller should come first.
