POWERA JOY-CON charging dock

Connect two controllers directly to the switch dock.

Recommended Ethernet adapter for Nintendo Switch

Ugreen USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Nintendo's official Ethernet adapter is as high as performance and low price.

TrendNet USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Like UGREEN, it has as high performance as the Nintendo official Ethernet adapter and is low.

In many cases, the Nintendo Switch does not require a wired Ethernet adapter.Downloading the game, updating the system, "Super Mario Party" and "Pokemon Let's Go! Pikachu Let's Go! Eevee", and online play, screenshots and videos, etc.is.

On the other hand, in race -based games where speed is important, such as "Splatoon 2" and "Super Smash Brothers Series", wired Ethernet adapters can improve delays and stability of connections.Nintendo's official Gigabit Ethernet adapter costs around 3,000 yen, but the same performance at a lower price is "Ugreen USB 3..0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter "," TrendNet USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (one of the cheaper ones is recommended).

Avantree USB Bluetooth audio transmitter

If you connect this USB to the switch, you can use wireless headphones.

During the game, there are situations where you can't play music with care.If you use a wired headphone, you may be too close to a TV, but you can use the Bluetooth headphones (due to the software update last fall) through the USB Bluetooth transmitter.The portable Bluetooth transmitter recommends "MPOW BH259A", but has not been investigated at this stage about the operation on Nintendo Switch.

The surveyed "Avantree USB Bluetooth audio transmitter" has a reasonable price and has a good reputation, and there is no noticeable delay even if you connect three types of Bluetooth headphones (although there are some clicks at the time of connection).No problem.Unlike smartphones and PCs, there is no operation screen on the switch, so you may check the adapter or headphone button many times when pairing.In addition, the sound of the TV cannot be heard without the Bluetooth adapter connected, so it is necessary to remove it when not in use (this point is convenient because the Avantree product comes with a 1m USB extension cable).

Other Nintendo Switch -related accessories Review

controller

｢PowerA Enhanced ワイヤレスcontroller｣は、Procontrollerによく似ていて価格は数千円安いですが、比較すると軽量で若干安っぽく、バイブレーションなしで電池式です、amiiboのNFCスキャナー非対応といった違いがあります。ニンテンドースイッチ付属のJoy-Conと比べると快適ですが、多くの人にとってはProcontrollerの方が使いやすいはず。

｢Nintendo Switch Horipad 有線controller｣もProcontrollerによく似ていて、価格も手頃ですが、バイブレーションなし、モーションコントロールなし、amiiboのNFCスキャナー非対応、取り外し可の十字キーが使いづらいといった弱点あり。

Switch Lite case

The "Nintendo's First-Party Switch Lite case" has a slim design and can accommodate eight cartridges and smaller related accessories.With plastic screen protection.However, compared to other companies' products, the fact that the material is softer is also anxious about how much you can protect from the impact when falling.

"HORI Switch Lite Slim Tafor" allows you to accommodate 10 cartridges and smaller accessories.The case has a pad, but when I put the switch lite and closed the lid, I was a little worried that the space would be easy to move in the pouch because there was a surplus in the space.

The "Butterfox Premium Slim Case", which has the same capacity as the above "Nintendo Switch LITE Butterfox Large Carry Case", has a slightly slim and good impression.However, it is difficult to store switch lite and USB-C charger together.

The display price is as of the writing.Please check the sales page as it may change.
