The best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories for 2026

The Switch 2 Pro Controller is the best controller Nintendo has ever made – and that’s saying something. It’s incredibly comfortable to hold, its joysticks are buttery smooth, and all of its buttons are surprisingly responsive. Nintendo has also made it customizable this time with rear buttons that can be easily mapped inside any game.

The only downside? The Switch 2 Pro Controller costs $85, which seems a bit steep when you can get an excellent controller like 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 Wireless Gamepad for $60. However, as good as the competition is, you won’t find anything that can be easily configured directly from within the Switch 2’s user interface.

Despite the high cost, the Switch 2 Pro controller seriously increased my height mario kart world Experience. I often feel my hands cramp when I play games for too long with the Switch 2’s Joy-Con 2 controllers. But that’s not the case with the Switch 2 Pro Controller. I was able to run for an hour without any discomfort, and I also noticed that it was easier for me to deal with the game’s tricky jumps and rail sliding.

The Switch 2 Pro controller is also great for fighting games thanks to its intuitive and precise directional pad. It lends itself easily to most genres, although it would have been nice to see analog triggers for more precise controls in serious racing games. – Devindra Hardawar, Senior Reporter
