Pro Controller
The Joy-Cons that come with every Nintendo Switch are fine, but when playing traditional games, they're not as comfortable to use as a standard controller. That's where the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller comes in. With its traditional D-pad and curves designed to fit your hands, it's the perfect accessory for most games.

Screen Protector
Screens are fragile things, especially on devices like the Switch, which is designed to be taken on the go. To avoid cracks and scratches, slap a screen protector on your Switch, and watch your worries melt away.
