14 Best Nintendo Switch Lite Accessories

  • January 10, 2023
  • Brandon Saltalamacchia

The Nintendo Switch Lite is out which means there are already a list of Nintendo Switch Lite accessories that you need to take a look at if you’re picking up this new handheld.

Most of these are already available, some custom made, some produced by larger companies, but there’s nothing better than getting prepared to pimp your Nintendo Switch for when it gets delivered to your door on 20th September 2019.

The Nintendo Switch Lite is much smaller, comes with larger battery life and it’s generally a more portable handheld, but unfortunately it lacks a large number of features that might keep people from buying one.

It’s basically a modern day Gameboy Advance, and we can’t wait to get hold of it. So let’s take a look at 14 of the best Nintendo Switch Lite accessories you can get your mittens on!

14. Nintendo Switch Lite Thumb Grips

If you like that extra feel on your analog sticks, then these Nintendo Switch Lite Thumb Grips will be right up your street.

Who doesn’t want a silicon squirrel or rabbit on their Switch?

They won’t change your playing and make you any better at Super Smash Bros, but they might stop your thumbs from slipping off at crucial moments!

Put them on or take them off in seconds too, a great gift for a Switch fan in your life or to treat yourself!

13. Mushroom Switch Docking Station

This Mushroom Switch Docking Station isn’t about to turn your Switch Lite into an all-out Nintendo Switch console, but it will charge it up and act as a tabletop stand for when playing with Joycons.

It’s tiny too, coming in at 20% of the original size of the original Switch dock. Chuck it in a pocket or in a bag with ease, and there’s no trouble when it comes to sliding the Lite onto the dock either.

Once again, this doesn’t hook up to the TV, it’s just a charging dock. But, it’s got Toad’s seal of approval, so it’s definitely a must-have for every Switch fan!

12. Super Mario Switch Case

A case that looks like Super Mario’s overalls… take our money now! Yes, this Super Mario Switch Case is an incredible way to carry your Switch Lite around with you.

I mean, it won’t give you super jump powers and the Switch doesn’t turn into a proper switch with a Mushroom, but it’s still amazing!

Splash proof and secure, this is the perfect solution to carrying your pro controller, cables, dock, and games around with you as you travel with Ninty’s famous handheld.

You could even dress up like Mario when carrying it, go for the double whammy!

11. Twelve South Nintendo Switch Stand

The first on our Nintendo Switch accessories list is a must buy, the new Nintendo Switch Lite unfortunately does not have a kick stand, meaning if you do want to pair it with joy cons (which you can do) you’ll struggle to stand up your console.

So a high quality stand, made out of aluminium will pair well when you need to play in stand mode, and you’ll get no better, long lasting stand than Twelve South’s Compass.

It can fold up into a very portable form factor, allowing you to chuck it in your bag when you travel, and when you take it out a strong flick will open it up, ready for you to play. Oh and it’s perfect for displaying your custom Nintendo Switch Lite!

10. Pokedex Cartridge Holder

With the upcoming Pokemon Sword & Shield it’s only fair that we have some Pokemon products in this Nintendo Switch Lite accessories list. One that we actually own ourselves is this, the Pokedex Cartridge holder with custom Pokemon designs on the front.

Yes, that’s the three new starters in the upcoming game, Scorbunny, Sobble and Grookey.

This product has been 3D printed and as you can see it has gone into a lot of detail! This is a great way to store and transport your cartridges and a great product for a true Pokemon Master.

9. AUKEY USB-C POWER BANK

aukey power bank

With any portable handheld with a large screen comes the consumption of battery power and although the LITE has more battery life than the original Switch, you’ll still find yourself in stick situations where you’ll need more power.

To pair with the Switch Lite we have added this Aukey Power Bank to our Nintendo Switch Lite accessories list.

It’s slim line, packs 20,000mah, and comes with USB-C which the Switch Lite uses. This will charge your Lite two times over, allowing you to game on the go for hours on end!

Aukey are one of the best battery products around, we’ve been using them for years and their battery packs are still going strong to this day. It’s certainly worth a pick up if you play a lot on the go.

8. 128GB Micro SD Card

Yes, the Nintendo Switch Lite has a cartridge slot, but let’s be honest, most of us like to download our games, but with these high end games comes, well, lots of needed space.

So Nintendo has teamed up with SanDisk to make Nintendo Switch specific SD Cards, built for speed. They’ve also added a little logo on each of them, just for that extra nerd in us.

128GB might be overkill for some, but this will hand a lot of your games, and it’s a size that lets you never worry about needing more. This, is the one Nintendo Switch Lite accessory that you can’t go cheap on.

7. Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons

The worst part about the Nintendo Switch Lite has to be the lack of removable joy-cons, we love to play wirelessly and love the seamless transition from TV to handheld mode. But, you can still do this with the Lite… kinda.

You can connect any joy cons to your Switch Lite, but only wirelessly, obviously.

This is all fun and games until you realise what we said in our first product, the lack of a kick stand. So even if you want to play with joy cons with a friend, you’ll have to find somewhere to stand it up if you haven’t grabbed a portable stand of some kind.

So, get that before you get hold of new joy cons!

6. Nintendo Switch Lite Carry Case

If you’re lugging around a Nintendo Switch without a case, then you deserve what’s coming to you. Small scratches, scuffs and a potential broken screen will be what you get.

So having a cheap case that does the job is a must feature in our best Nintendo Switch Lite accessories list.

This isn’t the most expensive case you can find, because we believe the cheap ones will do just fine for chucking in your bag when you travel.

This one here called “Venom” also comes with a couple of extra accessories such as grips, and cleaning kits to keep your Switch clean and safe on the go. There’s no crazy design on it either, plain old black that causes less attention!

5. Master Sword Cartridge Case

If the Pokedex cartridge case wasn’t enough, we’ll spice up this Nintendo Switch Lite accessories list with a big a** sword. this is the Master Sword cartridge case 3D printed for you to carry your games in serious style.

We wouldn’t advise travelling around with this, pulling this out on the tube might not go down well, but it’s certainly a great way to show off your games collection in your office or games room. All it needs is a small stand, or something to attach it to a wall.

The quality isn’t great as it has been 3D printed, but it’s good enough for you to get some serious nostalgic feels. Pulling this out every time you want to play has to be the coolest way to get you in the gaming mood!

4. 8BITDO Wireless Controller

8bitdo controller

Yes, the normal Joy-Cons are cool, but do you know whats cooler? A wireless gamepad that resembles the old SNES controller. This is the 8BITDO Gamepad Pro, a well designed, wireless controller for your Nintendo Switch Lite, and smartphones/tablets. It’s small, portable and works a treat with most games on the Switch.

Obviously, motion controls and rumble effect won’t work on this, but it’s a great addition to the Nintendo Switch Lite accessories list because it screams retro and it has phenomenal build quality. Plus, we all need a bit of retro in our lives.

3. HyperX Cloud Gaming Earbuds

Thank god the Nintendo Switch Lite has a headphone jack, we thought they might stick with the Apple trend and get rid of it, but they’ve decided to keep it… for now. So what better way to game on the go than with a decent pair of gaming earphones?

We’ve used a wide number of HyperX products in the past, and are still using their headphones to this date, but headphones for us, are a little to big to pair with the Switch Lite.

So, you can go for the earbud versions here which don’t break the bank, but the do pack one hell of a punch.

They’re superb quality, will last you for a long period of time, and they’re build specifically for the Switch, which means they’ve put a little more thought in for us Nintendo Switch gamers out there!

2. Nintendo Switch Game Case Display Holder

if you’re like us then displaying your games is a big part of being a retro gaming collector. Yes, you could have them stacked on your shelf, but what good is that? You need a stand, and a stand that doesn’t cost a fortune. This stand is all you need. A minimalist way of putting your games on show.

This is quite simply a black stand that can hold up to 12 Nintendo Switch Games up right. Allowing you to show off your collection and easily see which game to choose next.

A cheap, affordable Nintendo Switch Lite accessories that we all kinda want in our gaming rooms.

1. Satisfye Nintendo Switch Lite Grip

We have been using this ever since we picked up the Switch Lite on day 1, and it is by far one of the best Nintendo Switch lite accessories ever. It’s called the ZenGrip Go by Satisfye.

The ZenGrip Go adds grips and static stand do your Nintendo Switch Lite. It comes in a wide number of colours including new transparent variants.

What’s great about it, is quite simply the comfortability factor that adds a whole new gaming experience to your Nintendo Switch. It allows you to game for hours on end without having uncomfortable hands.

It’s also a grip that looks good, it’s no typical 3D printer product, this has been made with premium materials and the grip goes across the back of the handheld in order to make it look “cool” and “modern”, and in all honesty, it does just that.

So there you have a look at some of the best Nintendo Switch accessories around! We’ll update this article on a regular basis to keep you up to date!
