10 Best Nintendo Switch Accessories UK | Switch Pro Controller Power Banks and More

There are many items that can help you get the most out of your Switch, but fully kitting out your console can be expensive and time-consuming. As well as a carry case and screen protector, which are necessities for playing portably, it also has a Joy-Con charger, wheel set and holders for playing at home alongside grips, styluses and more.

The sheer amount of items makes this bundle great value and a great present for a new Switch owner. Plus, it's available in either OLED or original model versions and in several colour choices, too. 

This is the one accessory that is an absolute must-buy for anyone who owns a Nintendo Switch. These protectors have been designed especially for the console, fitting precisely without interfering with the touchscreen's sensitivity or occluding visibility. The tempered glass has been engineered to resist scratches and impact.

There are two protectors included, meaning that if one somehow becomes damaged, it is easy to replace with the spare. Also included is a wet-wipe, dust removal stickers, and a microfiber cloth to clean the screen before installation. 

Usually when you opt for a budget option, you expect there to be a feature missing that you'd find in a premium option, or you're willing to sacrifice some quality in its manufacture. The Orzly Carry Case has all the features of a premium product at a budget price.

The elastic straps keep your Switch, or Switch Lite, securely in place with a shock-absorbent, waterproof, EVA shell, which is available in several different colours. Plus, there is plenty of space for extra Joy-Cons and wires, and it even has a little pocket for you to tuck in extra games. 

If you're serious about playing games on your Switch at home, the wireless Pro Controller is the way to go. It features motion controls, a rumble, and a comfortable grip. While revolutionary, the Joy-Cons included with the Switch aren't ideal for many third party games.

The price may seem a little steep, but cheap controllers are very much a false economy. Investing in a Pro Controller will be cheaper than replacing multiple budget controllers in the long run.

Anyone who has used a single Joy-Con to play Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart or Rocket League against a sibling or friend will know how uncomfortable it becomes holding such a small controller for an extended period of time; these grips are a great budget solution.

For many, the occasional multiplayer session isn't worth investing £70 for an extra pair of Joy-Cons. While these holders don't solve the cramped button layout, they do take the strain off your hands and make the single Joy-Con far more comfortable to use. They even come in a wide range of colours!

The Joy-Con Charging Grip is a must have for those of you who prefer the feel of a traditional controller without wanting to invest in one. Much like with when using the Switch in its handheld mode, the two Joy-Cons slide into either side of the holder to create a familiar controller layout.

Unlike other holders, this version has a built-in battery pack with a USB-C port and cable meaning you can charge your Joy-Cons while using them when your Switch is docked. Even if the batteries are completely flat in the Joy-Cons and holder, you can play while the cable is attached and powering everything.

This ergonomically-designed case fits neatly around your Switch, providing some extra grip when playing in handheld mode, but the big draw of this accessory is the 10,000 mAh built-in battery which is enough to fully recharge your console twice over.

While this is a great option for those looking to play portably with its additional kickstand, it almost triples the weight of the console itself which can be an issue when holding it in its handheld mode. It may be worth considering purchasing a protective case and a portable battery separately.

This satchel has been designed solely with the Switch in mind, containing pockets for the docking station, chargers, extra controllers, and more. The Switch itself sits in a detachable pouch, with pockets for extra game cartridges, meaning you can take the whole bag or just a compact handheld case.

The detachable pouch is a nice addition, but it isn't really a substitute for a more protective case. If you're planning on regularly transporting your Switch to play at someone else's house, this is an excellent pick-up.

If you're a fan of Mario Kart and want to really feel like you're drifting through those laps and avoiding those green shells, you really can't go wrong by picking up a pair of these steering wheel accessories.

Surprisingly though, apart from Mario Kart and a small handful of other titles, there aren't many racing games on the Switch that make the most of the Joy-Con's motion controls. These are, however, perfect for those that do.

The last thing you want when you're on a long journey is to see your battery dying when you're midway through a difficult dungeon, as the story you've been invested in for twenty hours fades to black. Luckily, with a portable charger like this one, you won't have to worry about losing any game progress.

This power bank can hold up to 26,800 mAh – the base model Switch comes with a 4,310 mAh battery, so it holds enough to charge your Switch up to six times over! The reason this sits so low on our list is that it isn't specifically designed for the Switch, plus, it doesn't come with a USB-C wire so you'll have to use the one that came with your console.
