New Nintendo Switch Controller Accessory Looks Like An Adorable Puppy

Hyperkin's Pupper Controller Attachment releases next week.

17 Comments

When Nintendo first unveiled the Switch, the console's unconventional Joy-Con Grip attachment frequently drew comparisons to a puppy's face, due to the way its controller grips hung to the sides like ears. Now, Hyperkin is releasing a new accessory for the system that turns those comparisons into reality.

The Pupper Controller Attachment, as it's called, is scheduled to release next week, and as the name straightforwardly tells you, it's designed to resemble a puppy. It comes with three different mouth stickers, which you can place in the center of the grip. You can see some images of the accessory below.

The Pupper attachment also charges your Joy-Cons when they're inserted into the grip, something the standard Joy-Con grip doesn't do; Nintendo sells a separate Joy-Con Charging Grip for $30. The Pupper features a rechargeable battery and battery status indicator, and it's also USB Type-C compatible.

You can purchase the Pupper Controller Attachment on Amazon. Pre-orders for it are not yet available, but the accessory is listed to release on December 21.

LOL nice. Might be good for those with bigger hands. Looks a bit broader than the original joycon grip.

Used the grip controller initially but after switching to the Pro controller recently, have not looked back! The Pro controller is the only way to game on the Switch!

It's angled?? That would be uncomfortable to hold after a while. What's with the tilt?

@aki2017: From what I learned from people who have a switch.

It actually helps with the grip, and lowers fatigue when holding it. Plus a lot of custom grips are more angled then squared. And, lastly the other console controllers are more angled for the same reason. I mean look at the PS4, and Xbox one controller. they're angled, and they're so comfy they're hard to put down. Even when the game is already beaten.

Rather just use the cash and upgrade my NinoKuni2 order to collector edition. The switch controller sucks anyway, worst of the bunch. You Really need a pro controller if you have a switch.

@todddow: Agreed. Those of us who are adults that have Switches though will likely pass on it.
