Yes, it’s literally that comfortable.
So our trip to E3 gave us some wonderful little bits on things that were on the way. But one of the most useful (at least to me) encounters was with the people from Satisfye. And to understand whay I’m even writing this, you have to undertand two things:
- Playing the Nintendo Switch in Handheld mode kinda bites, and
- Satisfye had literally the best means of advertising humanly possible at that show.
That’s no lie; they had the best marketing strategy imaginable for their Pro Gaming Grip for the Switch.
Just hold it.
That’s really all the convincing necessary. Literally every member of the GAMbIT team that was there bought one after that. I can’t possibly stress this enough: this is the best grip you can get for the Switch’s handheld mode. It is that much of an improvement.
And you might think that’s an exaggeration for something that’s just a shaped piece of plastic. But it’s not; playing in Handheld without it just feels worse now. It is the tomacco of peripherals, of a sort. And aside from that, it’s also a really good stand for the system, to boot.
I also got the Elite Grip Case (on which they also gave me a good deal) in a bundle with the grip. And, combined with the grip, it may be the best Nintendo Switch case available. It accommodates your grip-clad Switch in a protective shell, forming a perfect fit so as to avoid any unwanted shifting in the case, and has a hook and loop strap to secure it in place.
It also features a space beneath your system to accommodate a wide range of Switch power banks. And, moreover, it has the requisite space to allow you to charge from your bank of choice while it’s in the case. Which you can do with the USB-A to USB-C cable provided in the bundle.
Aside from that, the case has a number of storage features for any of the little odds and ends you might want to carry along with your Switch. It has two sets of sleeves for extra game cards (10 on each “page”, accommodating a total of 20). It also has a small zippered pouch on the back of the topmost page, allowing you to store any small things (like extra SD cards or other similarly small things.) Finally, the upper half of the shell features a larger zippered pouch for storing anything else that might not fit elsewhere in the case, like extra cables or smaller accessories. Hell, I’m pretty sure you could fit certain third-party controllers in there,if you really needed to.
As a final bonus, the bundle came with their Analog stick caps. And they’re good; they’re just not the sort of thing I like to mess with too much. They do, however, up the comfort level on the JoyCon sticks by quite a bit.
Now all that said, if I really had to nitpick, it’s hard to do. But I’d argue that removing your Switch from the grip can be a bit more difficult that putting it in. The trade-off, though, is that it won’t go flying out of the thing.
The grip alone will normally run you $29.99, but right now it’s on sale for $20.99. So is everything else Satisfye has for the Switch. The Elite Bundle is currently $40.99 (Reg. $59.99). And honestly, that’s pretty good for what you’re getting. As an aside, they also have a slim case, as well as itemized versions of everything they offer, should you just want one thing, specifically. And I’m definitely giving it my recommendation.
