For casual gaming: Joy-Cons

Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons

Honestly, there’s a lot to like about the included Switch Joy-Cons. They come right in the box and can be separated from the system so two gamers can play. The system also includes a special gamepad grip so you can hold them in your hand like any standard game controller. So if you are in fact, happy with your Joy-Cons, there’s no need to switch them out. Just tweak them a little depending on your needs. Find them a tad too small? FastSnail’s matte rubber shells can make them a little easier for large hands to hold, and Hori’s Analog Caps can make the thumb sticks grippier.
