GameSir X5s Controller (Switch 1/2, iOS, Android) $40 at Walmart | $45 at Amazon (was $50) The GameSir X5s has ergonomic, textured handles that should be more comfortable for most players when compared to the flat Joy-Con 2 grips. Like other dedicated mobile controllers, the X5s has an extendable bridge and silicone pads to cradle devices measuring up to 8.38 inches: Switch 2, Switch OLED, Switch, all iPhones, most Android phones, and small tablets.The X5s is equipped with Hall Effect sticks and has removable face buttons, so you can switch between Xbox and Nintendo control layouts. Another advanced feature is dual trigger modes. The Hall Effect triggers can move linearly like a regular controller, or you can lock them as rapid-fire buttons. Speaking of rapid-fire, there's also a turbo function that can be assigned to the face buttons, bumpers, or triggers. It also has 6-axis motion controls and a conventional, 4-way D-pad.With GameSir's free mobile app, you can adjust stick and trigger sensitivities as well as the intensity of the dual rumble motors. The controller charges via USB-C and can run for up to 12 hours between charges.Key Features:Platforms: Switch 2, Switch, iOS, AndroidCradles devices up to 8.38 inchesConnects wirelessly via Bluetooth8-12 hours hours of battery life (USB-C charging)Hall Effect sticks4-way D-padSwappable face buttons6-axis gyro motion controlsDual rumble motorsTwo trigger modes: Hall Effect linear modeHair Trigger modeTurbo functionErgonomic, textured gripsExtendable bridge with rubberized base/sidesGameSir App customizations: Adjust stick and trigger sensitivityAdjust rumble intensityCreate dead zonesFirmware updates See at Walmart See at Amazon GameSir X5s Bluetooth Controller GameSir G8 Plus Galileo Controller (Switch 1/2, iOS, Android) $59.89 at Walmart | $72 at Amazon (was $80) The G8 Plus has all of the features found on the X5s, but it also has two remappable back buttons, removable faceplates, and comes with five swappable stick tops.

Since the Switch 2's June launch, the market for ergonomic grips has grown quite crowded. My favorite Switch 2 grip so far is Dbrand's Killswitch, which is now sold at Best Buy in an $80 bundle that comes with a cover for the screen. The Killswitch has individual controller grips with contoured ridges to rest your fingers on. You can still use the console's built-in kickstand with the shell attached to the back, too. Unlike some Switch 2 grips, however, the Killswitch prevents you from docking the console normally. Fortunately, it comes with a Switch 2 dock adapter that connects to Nintendo's Dock Set. It's cleverly designed and works incredibly well. The travel cover also has an attachment to store 10 game cards.Continue Reading at GameSpot
