Belkin swiftly earned a spot on our best Nintendo Switch 2 accessory list with its handy charging cases, and now the accessories brand has another power-bank-powered gadget at the ready.
The newly announced Charging Grip for Nintendo Switch 2 features a removable magnetic 10K power bank that can be attached to the back. Basically, imagine a slip case that attaches to your Switch 2 that has a 30W charger in tow. It's available for $99.99 (Belkin) starting today, and even comes with a pair of Joy-Con grip handles, but I'd hope as much for a price like that.
The Belkin Charging Case (and its newer Charging Case Pro) has become one of my go-to gaming gadgets, so I was pretty ecstatic when I initially heard the brand was dabbling more into the world of Switch 2 accessories. One year into the handheld's lifespan, and I'm still disappointed by its horrendous battery life, so there's a bit of a relief knowing there's another Belkin product that can provide a solution, and in this case, an up to 1.5x recharge on the go.
The new Belkin Charging Grip also provides a digital battery status, much like its other releases, and doesn't limit the Switch 2's features. There's a cut-out section so the kickstand is fully usable, and you can still detach the Switch 2 Joy-Con. Ergonomic curves are attached to the flat Joy-Con, matching the color of the rest of the case, whether you opt for the Black, purple Liliac, or green Olive colorway.
The Charging Grip wasn't the only accessory unveiled by Belkin today, either, as the brand also has a Travel Bag up its sleeve. Available in the same range of colors so you can unify your Switch 2 accessories, the cross-body bag can store your handheld, Switch 2 Pro Controller, extra accessories, and up to 10 game cards.
The new Travel Bag also includes a secret compartment for smart trackers like an Apple AirTag, which is one of my favorite features of the brand's best Switch 2 cases. Naturally, Belkin also ensures that it's compatible with the new Charging Grip too, but doesn't explain if it's compatible with the brand's other charging cases.
The Belkin Charging Grip for the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Belkin Travel Bag for Nintendo Switch 2 are available now from the official Belkin online store. You can grab them for $99.99 / £69.99 and $49.99 / £29.99 respectively, or wait until you hear what I have to say after I've had plenty testing time.
I've also rounded up the best Nintendo Switch headsets, the best Nintendo Switch 2 cases, and the best Nintendo Switch 2 microSD Express Cards if you want to create the ultimate Ninty gaming setup.
