The Switch 2 accessories that remain in my setup one-year later

The Nintendo Switch 2 is celebrating its first-ever anniversary, if you can believe it.

Since its debut on June 5, 2025, a whole year ago, I've been talking about, testing, and more importantly, reviewing a massive wave of Switch 2 accessories that my house has basically become a one-stop shrine to everything to do with Ninty's newest machine. But not every Switch 2 gadget that comes my way manages to wander into my own personal everyday setup.

When it comes to the best Switch 2 cases, I like to switch things up between Belkin's Charging Case Pro and the Turtle Beach Mario Bricks PlayTrek Travel Case. The latter is handy for when I want to pack light, while Belkin's premium alternative is perfect for long-haul trips when I want to stretch the battery as far as I can. Meanwhile, I like to make sure I have smaller accessories like the MEKO Touch Pens stashed inside those cases for when I want to do some customization in Tomodachi Life, or play around with Mario Maker 2.

Most recently, the Turtle Beach Rematch Rosalina controller has become a staple of my setup thanks to its fancy TMR sticks, easy pairing, and stunning RGB effects. Along with the Dbrand Joy-Lock Controller Holder, I haven't felt the need to invest in a Switch 2 Pro Controller quite yet. In case you want to know exactly what else is in my day-to-day setup one year on, I've gathered my current favorite Switch 2 accessories down below.

Our team has also rounded up the best Nintendo Switch 2 controllers, the best Nintendo Switch headsets, and the best Nintendo Switch 2 microSD Express Cards that pair perfectly with Ninty's newest handheld.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
