Comfortable gaming is incredibly important when it comes to handheld consoles. You want to make sure you distribute the device weight on all the right parts of your hands to prevent cramping or discomfort. Since the Nintendo Switch is a portable console, made for being able to be played anywhere, comfort grips for the device are super important. They're perfect for the gift-buying season whether you're looking for odds and ends, or the best stocking stuffers!
Palm support
This comfort grip will hold your entire console and give your palms fantastic support. Holding onto your Switch will feel less like grasping a stiff notebook and more like a really long PlayStation controller. It's perfect for consistent solo-gaming.
Full coverage
An excellent pick for more solo-gaming, this piece has grips on the back of the device instead of the sides. It gives your fingers a little more to grasp. You don't have to lean the corners of your Switch into the bottoms of your palms. Choose between 10 different colours.
Longer width
The PowerA Joy-Con is perfect for when you are playing solo-games but still want to use the TV instead of the Switch screen. It adds comfort to your dual Joy-Cons without having the two entirely separated. Plus, they have lights that let you know when your controller is dying. Handy!
Charging stand
This Joy-Con grip comes with a charging stand, so you don't have to remove your Joy-Cons to charge them. The grip also increases the size of the trigger buttons, making them easier to use. Another convenience feature is the included pair of rubber thumb caps that make your joysticks respond to every little movement.
Heavy duty
This ergonomic case provides a measure of protection for your Switch console in addition to making it easier to hold. The rubber casing protects your console from scratches, drops, and bumps. It easily snaps around the Switch and can quickly be removed for cleaning. Choose from four different colour options.
Dockable grip
This case features comfy ergonomic grips and is one of the few grips slim enough to dock while on your Switch. You'll be happy to note that you can also easily remove the Joy-Cons while the case is in place. It's made of a shock-absorbent material to keep your console safe and comes in three colours: frosted black, blue, or clear.
Great for families
The FASTSNAIL is the best for more multiplayer-gamers. If you find yourself playing more games with friends and family that only use half of your Joy-Con, these controllers are perfect for you. Not only do they make your gaming more comfortable, but the protective coating on it is scratch-free to keep your set-up looking fresh. Choose between five colour choices.
Super Mario red
These slick comfort grips are the same colour as the Super Mario Special Edition, and that's pretty cool. Not only will it give you a supportive bump for your palms, but they look super stylish while doing so! (See what I did there?)
Mix & match
Can't make up your mind about which colour you want? Get them all. The Whiteoak Joy-Con Grips have six colours to choose from, and all offer the same amount of protection and support for your gaming experience. You can get whacky with some hot pink designs or keep it solid with plain black!
Solid comfort
AmazonBasics have their own set of comfort grips for the Nintendo Switch that's on sale for a fantastic price. You can choose between four colours, but you can't mix and match. The set even includes button covers to add comfort and protection to the buttons on your Joy-Cons!
Get a grip
A grip goes a long way towards increasing your handheld gaming experience. Your hands will feel less cramped gripping a moulded plastic or rubber case, and the Switch will be less likely to fall from your hands. We love all the multiplayer options the Switch is capable of. However, most of the time, you're going to be using this console to play games by yourself. That means the GoPlay Grips will be the perfect addition to your set-up. Not only is it designed to host your entire console, but it gives you the palm support you've been looking for, so your thumbs don't get sore.
If you'd prefer something that can be used in both handheld mode and when docked, we recommend the Yoowa Dockable Case. It features comfy hand grips and allows you to easily remove the Joy-Cons while the case is clipped onto the console.
Of course, if you're looking for a great accessory for an excellent price then the best option is the Whiteoak Joy-Con Grip. Along with a price that will fit any budget, there are six different colours to choose from.
