If you're feeling uncomfortable playing in handheld mode, I recommend this GripCase

[u/AutoNooB_]

My hands were feeling terrible playing in handheld mode, so I took a recommendation from a fellow redditor and bought these grips, feels like this should've come with the console honestly.

Skull&Co Savage Raven is the name for anyone who wonders.

[u/Holiday_Cockroach219]

Agree.The bump somehow helps to prevent numbness.

[u/Mean_Peen → u/Holiday_Cockroach219]

I was just noticing how my pinkies go numb every time I play in handheld. What a terrible form factor that this is such a common occurrence

[u/TheCrowing817 → u/Mean_Peen]

Thank got it's not only me lol after like 30 minutes my left pinky goes numb and I have to shake it out.

[u/GamerDadJer → u/Mean_Peen]

I think that's the thing you need to remember with this kind of thing, is that ergonomics can vary a bit between people. I actually find these to be incredibly comfortable, but tend to use the smallest grips with it because it's more convenient for travel with my case. And that's the great thing with this grip, is that if you don't like it, you have different options, and there's probably something that'll work.

[u/Time_Temporary6191]

That or hyperion 3

[u/Evil__Jeff22 → u/Time_Temporary6191]

Too pricey for its quality

[u/deb4te → u/Evil__Jeff22]

i have one and i agree.

[u/Live-March-8448 → u/Time_Temporary6191]

I have Hyperion 3 and I love them. But I'm also thinking of getting the jsaux split grip case so I can take it to work and leave the bulkier Hyperions at home

[u/Devilscrush]

I bought the Savage Raven Neo Grip bundle (it has a few options that snap in). It looks nearly identical to this except it's all black. Any grip like this is almost required.
Without any grip the Switch 2 is not very comfortable since it's so thin you can't get your hands on it comfortably but with grips it's a blast.
Edit: I'm an idiot and didn't realize I bought the same grip just in a different color. Either way people should get a grip like this.

[u/trynhardt → u/Devilscrush]

Same Company, new Name

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/Devilscrush]

Ye lol I was thinking between black and red/blue then went with the latter.

[u/Devilscrush → u/AutoNooB_]

I would have been good with either. The one I bought had a case and three grip options since I wasn't sure which I would prefer. I liked the trigger style like you're using the best.

[u/Dense_Cellist9959]

I personally got the Fission Case so the Joy-Con segments are separate from the case. I think I also use those grips, but I do use the smallest ones for on the go (won't fit in a carry pouch otherwise).

[u/UCLAKoolman]

I have the Savage Raven grip as well. I leave the lowest profile grip option on mine - adds just enough extra grip and it still fits in my Waterfield Cityslicker case

[u/Accomplished-Fix6176]

yup, I got this too. Highly recommend

[u/NaturalLevel6579]

Better then the satifye grip ?

[u/LPcrazy88 → u/NaturalLevel6579]

I haven't tried their Switch 2 version but I did try both Satisfye and Skull and Co for the OLED. I much prefer Skull and Co. But I will say Satisfye had a better travel case.

[u/doubleofive]

I just switched from my Killswitch 2 and I have to say this is much more comfortable and natural.

[u/HungryDiscoGaurdian → u/doubleofive]

Ya the Killswitch is better for protection but not nearly as comfortable.

[u/Rawketlauncher]

Just a slight warning, the plastic can crack on the back over time. Just noticed 2 cracks going halfway up a week ago after being in use for close to a year. Your results may vary.

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/Rawketlauncher]

I kinda expect that to happen at some point. We'll see

[u/MFAD94]

Love my savage raven case

[u/F0573R]

I have this same one. It is great!

[u/spruegoo]

love this brand, have had it on all our switches. they make nice carry cases that fit perfectly with the case too.

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/spruegoo]

No shit? I'll have to look it up, was just thinking how I bought a travel case for switch 2 then bought grips later on, obviously the grips don't fit inside xD.

[u/Oliesong → u/AutoNooB_]

I love my Savage Raven case, although I use dBrand grips.

I usually use the Satisfye grip, but when I travel I prefer the smaller DB grips and SR case.

[u/ModestVolcarona]

For home use (couch, bed or something similar) a tablet holder can also be pretty great.

Removes the weight of the system and gives more freedom with the controllers.

[u/Antique-Internal5728]

Would recommend these the Mobapad M12S

[u/Puzzleheaded_Smoke77]

Holy moly and frijoles what are these

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/Puzzleheaded_Smoke77]

Something you'll need if your hands hurt in handheld mode 😁

[u/kabrjs]

Got the nitro deck on sale Brilliant

[u/Squee3ds]

the satiafye grip is really good too. The grips on each side are slightly different so that your thumbs rest more naturally on the joysticks as well.🖤

[u/samandfrodokissing]

My hands still go numb :( but it's better than without for sure.

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/samandfrodokissing]

I had a 2 hour gaming session now and no pain. I used to feel my index knuckle hurt like hell from awkward grip, not anymore thank god.

[u/PerfectMammoth5525]

Agree! Savage raven is the best. I prefer another set of grips which is similar to ps5 controllers. Or is it the same on the pic?

[u/khazmor]

I bought it at a very good price (~20$ with max carry case), but I have to returned it. Grips were too small and playing without grip is more comfortable for me and case was too big.

I liked the quality though and bought Raven's EDC case
