PowerA Joy-con Comfort Grip Pikachu for Nintendo Switch

The PowerA Joy-Con grip is very similar to the one bundled with the Nintendo Switch with one key exception: it has a much better grip. It does this in two ways. The first is a sticker grip whereas the bundled one is all smooth plastic. The second is more curvature on the handles, making it more pleasant to hold. Weight and dimensions are otherwise practically identical.If you're looking for a joy-con grip, I would recommend this one for slightly more comfort than you could get otherwise.

We have 3 avid gamers in our household (including myself) so spend a lot of time on the Switch. We all are really happy with our new Joy-Con grip and it's very comfortable to hold. In comparison to the original which came with our switch, the handles are a tiny bit wider and a little more ergonomic which helps immensely with hand cramping. It's not a huge size difference and doesn't impede my younger daughter at all but just enough to notice the positive difference and comfort level. Electronic wise, it's worked perfectly, and we are happy with it!

This is a well-made product, but honestly speaking, I don't see much of a difference compared to the original accessory in terms of comfort. Yes, the rubber finishing feels nicer to the touch, but it doesn't make that much of a difference at the end of the day. I think the main issue with this (and with the original accessory as well) is the small size, but there is not much way around it. For the best experience, a dedicated, full-size controller (wired or wireless controller) is the best way to go. Finally, it is good to point out that this PowerA accessory has a slightly different design than the original one, with a type of "rest area"/grip for your index fingers. It does not make that much of a difference to me, though.
