Joy-Con Comfort Grip for Nintendo Switch - Black

Great quality fast delivery, works well

I have been a Switch owner since launch, and while I love the versatility of the Joy-Cons, the standard plastic grip that comes with the console always felt a bit slippery and narrow during long gaming sessions. I picked up this Comfort Grip hoping to reduce hand cramping during longer playthroughs. I’ve been testing this grip for about two weeks now, mostly playing The Legend of Zelda and Mario Kart 8 for sessions ranging from 30 minutes to three hours. Performance and Experience The biggest difference you notice immediately is the rubberized back. The standard grip is hard plastic, but this one has a soft-touch rubber coating on the handles. It makes a huge difference in terms of grip security; my hands didn't get sweaty or slip around nearly as much as they do with the original. The width feels slightly different—it fills the palm a bit better. The slide-in mechanism is smooth; the Joy-Cons click in satisfyingly and feel very secure. I also confirmed that the player indicator lights on the Joy-Cons are clearly visible through the front panel, just like the official description claims. One nice little design touch I noticed is that because of the wider base, this grip actually stands up on its own on a coffee table, which looks quite tidy next to the dock. Pros • Ergonomics: The rubber grips are significantly more comfortable than hard plastic. • Stability: The Joy-Cons lock in tight with no wobble. • Design: It stands upright on flat surfaces, which is a nice aesthetic touch. Cons • Non-Charging: It’s important to note that this is a passive grip; it does not charge your Joy-Cons while you play. You still have to dock them to charge. • Size: If you have very small hands, the slightly bulkier handles might take a moment to get used to compared to the stock grip. Verdict If you play your Switch in "TV mode" often and find your hands getting tired holding the standard plastic controller, this is a worthy upgrade. It doesn't change the functionality, but the rubberized texture makes it much nicer to hold for extended periods.

Compared to the default Joycon grip, this product makes several compromises and several improvements on the original design. Cons: >Plastic feels cheaper than the regular grip >Lights on the face are dimmer and slightly misted. >The rails that the joycons slide into are plastic not metal, making the sliding action less smooth and the click into place less satisfying. >It feels like the shape of the grip makes it slightly harder to rest your fingers on the ZL and ZR buttons due to the angle of the joycons, your fingers want to slide off. Pros: >Rubberised texture on the back of the handles makes them easier to hold. >Ever so slightly wider and more ergonomic shape makes the grip nicer to hold than the regular grip. >Excellent price point compared to the alternative of buying a Charging grip from Nintendo. If you need a second grip for your joycon controllers then don't hesitate to pull the trigger on buying this product, however if you're looking for a better grip for your personal joycons, then perhaps the difference between this and the regular grip isn't quite worth buying another grip for.

Excellent - as good as the OEM one

Very comfortable and very nice came before estimated time and very nice driver nice price official product and very comfortable for my family to hold

The switch originally came with one standard controller grip and after playing games with my family for many hours I wanted to get another grip. And honestly it is perfect. It allows another player to play with two controllers rather than hurt their hands with a single controller and it feels great. A bit bigger than the original controller grip that came with the Switch but nonetheless great. 👍

This has been great for my kids to enjoy playing on the switch, its easy to use, fits their hands as well as adults. Seems well made.

We recently got more joycons to go with our switch, so ultimately needed a new grip for easier play. This grip is cheaper than the nintendo version, but it is noticeably different. My major gripe with it is if I push up on the up stick on the left hand side, the controller slips upwards. Partly this is a 'bad design' on the joycons part, there is only a small plastic clip that holds them in place, but this flaw does not exist to the same extent on the nintendo product. It is also happening with the old and new controllers, so it isn't as if the controller itself is worn. If the product had been more expensive, or if the packaging hadn't been completely shredded by the person opening it, I would be considering returning the product for a refund. However, it is cheap enough that it just about survives.

Es muy ergonómica y se adapta muy bien a las manos de un niño

Was delivered on time and is a great product if your unable to buy a pro controller

Es muy cómodo, además que proporciona un agarre aún mayor sobre los extremos del control pues están cubiertos por un material para evitar que se te resbalen fácilmente de las manos, además que el diseño es muy bonito y te va a encantar si eres una fan de The Legend of Zelda.

I was faintly skeptical that I wanted a comfort grip that advertised itself to be slightly different than the official nintendo specifications because I'm odd like that, but this comfort grip feels better in every way. The slightly larger textured grip is just more comfortable. This is a high quality comfort grip. Just in case anyone reading this is wondering - this is not a charging grip. It will hold your joycons in convenient luxury but it will not charge them. It isn't supposed to. Joy-cons hold a charge for something like 30 hours anyway - you'd have to neglect charging them for a really long time to need a charging grip.

This has been nice for playing multiplayer - 2 controller games. The joy cons slide easily into place and allow a comfortable hold for playing games. The grip is easy for my kids to work, and has made it much more comfortable for them as they play games together. Good value product.
