The best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories
When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more The Nintendo Switch 2 has a simple design: It's a screen and two tiny controllers. But that simple design opens the door to loads of cool accessories, including new controllers, grips, cases, and chargers. Many of the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, like the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, are more affordable alternatives to Nintendo's official products. Others are designed to add features or make the console more convenient to carry around, like the Hori USB Camera or Tomtoc's stylish Sling Crossbody Bag. To help you get the most out of your Switch 2 without breaking the bank, I've rounded up the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories on the market right now. Nintendo Switch 2 accessory FAQs What kind of charger does the Switch 2 use? Like its predecessor, the Nintendo Switch 2 uses a USB-C connection to charge. However, the Switch 2's more powerful hardware requires more power. This is why the original Switch's AC adapter — the charger that came with the console — won't work with the new Switch 2 in TV mode, only in handheld mode. And even then, it'll charge slower. The Switch 2's dock requires at least a 60W brick, and you'll want at least 45W to charge it at full speed in handheld mode.

The Nintendo Switch 2's GameChat feature lets you connect a USB-C camera to video chat with friends. And according to the console's official specs, you can use a variety of USB-C cameras, even if they weren't specifically made for the Switch 2. If you already own a USB-C camera, you'll likely be able to use it. However, not all USB-C webcams are compatible with the system, and Nintendo hasn't released any specific information about what's required. Thankfully, the console includes a "Test USB Camera" feature in the Settings app that lets you check your chosen camera. Do original Nintendo Switch controllers work with the Switch 2? Yes! According to Nintendo, controllers that worked with the original Switch will also work with the Switch 2. Just note that since the new Joy-Con 2 controllers are bigger than the original Joy-Cons, you won't be able to fit them in shells or grips made for the original. This includes the original Grip, Wheel, and Ring Fit Adventure Ring-Con. The original Joy-Cons are also unable to attach directly to the Switch 2, but they can pair wirelessly with the system. Third-party controllers made for the original Switch should also work with the Switch 2, but enabling support may require a firmware upgrade.
