Welcome to our Nintendo Switch 2 Accessory Guide
At Handheld Space, we don’t sell products—we recommend them. This is a personally curated list of accessories we genuinely believe will give you the best experience with your Nintendo Switch 2. Whether it’s about performance, protection, or convenience, every item here has been selected because we use it ourselves.
Embedded Files
Note: This guide is a work in progress and updated regularly. Many Switch 2 accessories are still en route to us, and others require hands-on testing with a retail Switch 2 console before we can properly evaluate them. We’re only featuring products we've personally tested and genuinely believe offer great quality and value.
Storage Options
The best upgrades for expanding your library without slowing things down.
🥇 Top Pick
$110 - $380 AUD
Lexar® PLAY PRO microSDXC™ Express Card
The undisputed king of storage for the Switch 2. Lexar’s 1TB PLAY PRO microSD Express card is the first of its kind to take full advantage of the Switch 2’s new high-speed storage standard. With blazing-fast read speeds of up to 900MB/s and write speeds reaching 600MB/s, load times are drastically reduced, making your entire experience feel snappier and more seamless, without any storage anxiety for years to come.
Available in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB variants, this card is perfect for power users who plan to go all-digital or just want the best performance possible. If you're not cutting corners on your handheld setup, this is the one to get.
Note: These Lexar MicroSD Express cards aren’t available from Aussie retailers just yet, but local stock is expected soon. We recommend holding off until they land—once they’re available, we’ll drop a heads-up in our Discord and Facebook groups.

SanDisk 256GB microSD Express (Nintendo-licensed)
If you don’t need massive storage or record-breaking speeds, SanDisk’s 256GB microSD Express card is a reliable, easy-to-find option that gets the job done. It’s fully compatible with the Switch 2’s new storage standard, and while it doesn’t match Lexar’s top-tier performance or storage capabilities, it still offers great value and solid SanDisk reliability.
Available at most Australian retailers and backed by SanDisk’s solid reputation, it’s a great pick if you’re after something affordable and trustworthy without overthinking it. A solid “good enough” choice for casual gamers or secondary storage.
❓ Unknown Quality
$225 AUD
Atrix microSDXC Express Card
We’re not recommending this one—but we are listing it, because we know plenty of Aussie buyers are going to spot it at EB Games and wonder if it’s a steal.
Atrix is EB’s in-house brand, and while some of their accessories are passable, their previous SD cards haven’t exactly inspired confidence. There’s no known manufacturer behind this one, no third party performance data, and no transparency on what you're actually getting under the hood.
We do know that GameStop—EB’s US-based parent company—sells the same cards under its own brand name, just with different packaging. The reviews? They're not good. It honestly doesn’t get much lower quality than Atrix. Slow speeds, frequent failures, and data corruption seem to be the common thread across user feedback.
What really stands out, though, is the price—$225 for 1TB. That’s around 35% cheaper than the competition, which is damn cheap for a microSD Express card. But at what cost? Until we’ve had a chance to properly test it (yep, we’ve ordered one), we’d recommend holding off. The price might be appealing, but data integrity, speed, and long-term reliability are serious question marks.
If you’re happy to take a gamble to save some cash, it’ll be there on launch day. But if you want peace of mind with your handheld setup, stick to the trusted brands—at least until we know more.
Screen Protectors
Because scratches suck. These are the ones we actually trust to keep your screen safe and sharp.

Jsaux Tempered Glass / Etched Anti-Glare
Screen Protectors
Jsaux is a name you'll see pop up a lot in our recommendations—and for good reason. Their screen protectors, available in both glossy and anti-glare etched finishes, consistently deliver on quality. We’ve used them across multiple devices and they’ve always nailed it: excellent fit, smooth finish, and no-hassle installation.
Each pack includes two protectors (handy if you're prone to accidents or just generous), and while they’re not the cheapest on the market, they strike that perfect middle ground between affordability and premium feel. If you're after a stress-free install and reliable protection, this is a no-brainer.
You can also grab a discount on this screen protector with our discount code below.

Official Nintendo Screen Protector
(Case + Protector Bundle)
While it’s not the ideal standalone solution, this is the only official screen protector available at launch—and it comes bundled with Nintendo’s official carry case, hitting most major retailers on June 5th.
That said, it appears the included screen protector is made from flexible plastic, not tempered glass. That means it’s more prone to smudging and scratching, and installation might be a bit trickier compared to glass alternatives. Plus, there’s only one in the box—so no second chance if things go sideways.
Still, if you're after something first-party for peace of mind, or you just want to keep everything Nintendo-branded, this is your launch-day option.
Charging & Power
The charging gear we rely on to keep our handhelds juiced up all day.
🥇 Top Pick
$15 AUD (2 Metres)
Anker Powerline III USB-C to USB-C Cable (100W)
It’s hard to get excited about a cable — until you’ve burned through as many as we have. Running a repair business means we charge a lot of devices, and in 2025, durability matters more than ever. That’s why we’ve moved on from our previously recommended Ugreen cables to Anker’s Powerline III 100W.
This 100W cable isn’t just perfect for your Switch 2 — it’s beefy enough to power a full docked setup, laptops, and basically anything else USB-C.
Pair it with one of our recommended GaN chargers, and you’ll be sorted for years to come.
🥇 Top Pick
$35 AUD
Anker 65W GaN Prime Charger
A compact powerhouse that does it all. With two USB-C ports and one USB-A, this charger can easily handle your Switch 2 — whether it's docked or on the go — while also topping up your phone, earbuds, or any other accessory at the same time.
These are the chargers we personally carry with us. They’re rock solid reliable, and thanks to GaN tech, they’re smaller and more efficient than traditional chargers without sacrificing power. It’s the kind of gear you forget about — because it just works.
They’re also excellent value. Sure, they cost a bit more than the no-name brands flooding Amazon, but when it comes to power supplies and batteries, trust us — it’s never worth cutting corners.
Anker also makes a beastly 120W version, capable of charging high-powered laptops like MacBooks — and we love it — but for most people, it’s overkill in both power and price. The 65W model hits the sweet spot for nearly every handheld setup out there.
🥇 Top Pick
$157 AUD
Anker 737 Power Bank
With a massive 24,000mAh capacity and up to 140W of output, the Anker 737 Power Bank is one of the best portable charging options available for the Switch 2. Whether you're midway through a long session or just need to top up on the go, this unit will easily keep your console running — along with your phone and accessories, too.
It features two USB-C ports, a USB-A port, a real-time charging screen, and even supports pass-through charging, which is super handy if you’re plugging in multiple devices at once. It’s well-built, compact for its capacity, and packed with features.
This is also one of the largest battery banks that’s still legal to take on an airplane, making it ideal for long trips without compromising on performance.
Much like with power supplies, batteries are something you don’t want to cheap out on. The 737 is backed by Anker’s excellent track record and more than 13,000 five-star Amazon reviews — and it shows.
We’ve also tested Anker’s newer “Laptop Power Bank,” but chose not to recommend it. The built-in cables can’t be replaced, it costs more, and delivers lower wattage per port — making the 737 a far better pick for most gamers.
To be totally clear: we’re not sponsored by Anker, and we’ve never been in contact with them — they just make consistently excellent gear at fair prices.
Ergonomics
Grips, cases, thumbstick caps—small upgrades that make a big difference in how your Switch 2 feels in hand.
🥇 Top Pick
$20 USD
Shock-Absorbent Storage Case
If you want a case that’s all about efficiency, JSAUX’s PC0116 is a standout. Designed to wrap tightly around the Switch 2, it takes up as little space as possible in your bag while still offering reliable protection from bumps, splashes, and day-to-day knocks.
It holds up to 10 game cards securely, features a raised interior to help shield your joysticks, and even lets you charge the console without removing it—simple, functional, and travel-ready.
At just $20 USD (around $30 AUD), it’s an incredibly affordable and well-thought-out option for everyday use.
