That is not the same grip. That looks like a third party grip.
The left one looks like this third party grip

u/13thstruggle · 11 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

My grip with the joy-con gripes.

Jokes aside, you can buy the official grips direct from Nintendo's website. These are the same ones in the switch box and have the logo on them:
https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/us/po/browse/productDetailColorSizePicker.jsp?categoryNav=true&navAction=jump&navCount=0&atg.multisite.remap=false&productId=prod840605&categoryId=cat831381

Otherwise, there are of course the 3rd party licensed ones that look almost like the original grip; they're opaque but don't have the logo, use plastic rails, and the grip is slightly different:

First of all: Screen Protector. Once it's on you never notice it, doesn't hurt to get that extra safety!

I've bought 10 games so far, and I'd say get all of these because I have enjoyed them. BOTW, Splatoon 2, Sonic Mania, Rayman Legends, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (assuming you like DBZ,) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokken Tournament DX, Street Fighter 2 Ultra, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and Yooka Laylee.

If I had to pick 3 for you to get to start out then I would pick Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I think that's enough variety to keep you busy for awhile.

A carrying is always a good thing, I'd recommend This case because it's the one I use and does its job.

Accessory wise I have joycon grips which are AMAZING when playing with one joycon.

Also, the grip it comes with is trash. Get the Power A Grip it feels A LOT better in your hands.

As for SD Cards, it depends. I have a 32GB SD card. I mainly buy physical games, The extra space is for screenshots and videos, and download only games, like Sonic Mania, Yooka Laylee, etc. If you're going for digital only then get a 256GB. Sure you won't use a ton of space now, but you might a few years down the line. Also, do NOT get the official Nintendo ones. They are a RIP-OFF! Here are some nice alternatives that will get the job done for A LOT cheaper: 32 GB 64 GB 128 GB and finally 256 GB

If you have any other questions feel free to ask OP, and other (potential) switch owners!

Quick edit: sorry that some links won't be put with the text, no idea what the issue is

u/MutatedSpleen · 9 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

You might also want to grab one of these. It's not really necessary, exactly, but might help prevent fights, haha. This is a comfort grip. Basically a piece of plastic that you connect two joy-cons to such that it looks more like a typical video game controller. You'll get one with your Switch, but if you end up getting another set of joy-cons, you might run into a situation where Kid 1 has a grip and Kid 2 doesn't, and Kid 2 is mad about it. It's not really a necessary thing, but might make for a smoother experience all around.

u/akran47 · 6 pointsr/gaming

A Switch Pro controller is $70, Xbox controllers are normally $60 and require batteries or a $25 Play n Charge kit. The battery life on PS4 controllers is not great in my experience and the cord is like 3 feet long.

Nintendo controllers have great battery life, an NFC reader for amiibo, and motion controls. The $80 price tag for joy cons seems high, but it's essentially 2 separate controllers with a lot of stuff in them.

The $30 grip is not the same as what comes in the console, it also charges the controllers. The one that comes with the console is like $7

I complained about Switch accessory pricing when I first saw it too, but it's really not that bad.

u/TheLawlessMan · 5 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Have you looked? There have been some grips on Amazon US for a while. $14(?) for non-charing grips.

And this this cheaper grip.

u/lifelongintent · 3 pointsr/GirlGamers

Another vote for the Switch here, primarily because of the exclusives. Nintendo makes a lot of kid-friendly games that you'll only see on Switch, like Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, etc.

Nintendo's online service:

  • Is $20/year
  • Gives you cloud saves for most games, so that if anything happens to the Switch, you can still access your save data.
  • Will let you play online for select titles, but requires you to download an app on your phone if you want to voice chat with others.
  • Gives you access to classic NES + SNES games. I imagine most would be challenging for a kid who didn't grow up playing them, but there's an option to "rewind" if you make a mistake or lose a life, and you can do this as many times as you need to. If she's interested in classic games at all, there are some real gems in there. Kirby's Adventure is a pretty easy one that still plays great, I highly recommend it.

    As far as online goes, people can be really mean. This sub has endless examples of women who have been mocked, harrased, and even threatened. For that reason, I would be cautious about online play, or at least avoid chat.

    That being said, some games have neat features that require online. For example, Animal Crossing (a game where you build your own town), allows you and your friends to visit each other's towns. As long as online play is limited to real-life friends and kid-friendly games, she should be okay. Nintendo is obsessed with family-friendliness and parental controls -- this page on their website is dedicated to parents and keeping kids safe in gaming, if you'd like to have a read.

    To save some money, I would suggest getting the Switch and just one game, with an accesory or two. Or, you can keep the accessories in mind for future birthdays and holidays. Some ideas:

  • 1 year online subscription: again, this is useful for online, cloud saves, and access to classic titles, if you feel these things are right for her.

  • A micro SD card: The Switch only has 32 GB of storage space. If you buy digital games, that will get used up quickly. A 128 GB micro SD card costs about $25 CAD, and can be inserted into your Switch so that you can fit mores games on it.

  • A Joy Con Grip: if she likes playing with a controller, this is a great and affordable option for about $20 CAD. Alternatively, this guy makes great quality, officially licensed, wired controllers (and many other Switch accessories) at very affordable prices.

  • A case: so that if she ever plays it in handheld or wants to take it to a friend's house, she has somewhere safe to store it.

  • An Amiibo: These cute little figurines can connect to the Switch, allowing you to unlock things like outfits, power-ups, and other neat extras in the game. This explains how they work in more detail.

    I hope this helps! :)

There's a third party that made plain plastic ones: https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Joy-Comfort-Grip-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01MS7YUA7?th=1

They're not branded, but they are cheaper. They're also pretty expensive for being pieces of plastic, which is why I just ended up buying a charging grip myself. Cheaper ones will probably come pouring out of China soon enough.

u/leenponyd42 · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

It's definitely function over aesthetics with the Pro Controller. They don't look like much, but they are extremely sturdy. If it really bothers you/your kids you can get canvas stickers made for the Pro Controller to decorate them. Just be aware that using the controller will probably cause the designs to fade where the hand holds the controller. Then you either slap a new one over it, or remove the old one and put a new one down. Probably going to be a sticky residue once brought up, however, so it's not likely something you can change you mind on after application.

The Pro controller doesn't fit the hand as well as a Dual Shock 4--Ps4 controller--but it's far more comfortable than using the JoyCons on their "comfort grip" apparatus.

It is a bit pricey, but I personally stay away from third party controllers because of generally poor experiences in the past. I find the money you save isn't really worth potential problems with an off brand controller.

u/BestSorakaBR · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

I have this which is sadly the best case to actually put on your switch in my opinion. The single piece hard shell case you'd need to remove the entire thing if you want to just remove 1 joycon. The TPU cases seem a bit too finicky to get on from some reviews.

I might give this grip and case a try. Apparently the grip is larger than the stock one so it should fit better in my hands. The case seems like it should fit joycons so it seems like it's what OP's looking for. The licensed one from Nintendo is hot ***. Doesn't fit anything but the switch, games, and cables which is what I get from my $2 generic case.

u/FFevo · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

The Joycon Comfort Grip. Joycons will never be a pro controller.... but this makes them pretty damn close. Officially license by Nintendo and a steal at under $10.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_BtaWzbENX7E3E

u/takaci · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

The joycon grips come with the console as well as with spare joycons.

The console comes with (at least for me): switch itself (i.e. the screen part), a pair of joycons, a pair of joycon grips, a joycon comfort grip so you can turn them into one controller, the plastic dock, a hdmi cable, and finally a usb-c AC wall adapter (which can be used either directly into the switch to charge it or as part of the dock which also charges the switch)

u/Jebobek · 2 pointsr/Games

Yes, people are having issues when it is docked. This is because the basic dock is just a plastic piece that holds the joy-cons in a controller style.

https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Comfort-Grip-Black/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=pd_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=W6583VVZMYG313HK4J3J&th=1

It does not modify the sync it has to the console. If you are holding this setup such that your fingers cover the emitter (top) then you can still have interrupts. If you use the pro controller the broadcast is stronger and is less likely to be interrupted.

u/TemptedTemplar · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Just buy some joycon con straps or a joycon comfort grip. The rails are attached via phillips head screws and are super easy to remove.

Also they both come with the LED tunnels, so you could incorporate them into your own strap.

u/buffalopete · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Some things to consider.

The costs: A second set of joy-cons runs 70 bucks or so, additionally you're correct a Joy-Con Grip should be purchased to seat the controllers - probably another 10 dollars or so. There are joy con grips with a port for a charging cable, that will charge the joy cons those are 25 bucks. I have one, but I never use the charger, rather I swap the extra joy-cons onto the switch while it's charging.
A pro controller runs around $60.
Ultimately, 80 bucks for joy-cons vs. 60 for the pro-controller.

The quality of the controller:
The pro controller is nicer, no question. But it can't split into two allowing two people to use it.

What your kids will want/what will save you headaches:
My vote is to get another set of joy cons to ensure they're both playing with the same type of controller and not fighting over it. They're likely at an age where they won't feel the need for the "best" controller so much as they'd want the ability to play with more friends.

u/ReturnOfLilith · 1 pointr/nintendo

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MS7YUA7/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have it in red and black. I think the same people also made the Splatoon one they are selling at Gamestop but I haven't gotten it yet. They are licensed by Nintendo.

u/betacux · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

Would definitely recommend a pro controller, so much more comfortable than joy-con. I got joy-con comfort silicone grip things that go on the joy-con, but even then my hands absolutely kill me from playing Switch. If you just want to play as soon as you can, I guess get silicone comfort grips for your joy-con, and a comfort grip controller. Also definitely get a glass screen protector, and this case.. For games, I'd recommend BotW, Splatoon 2, and Odyssey (I assume by the time you have enough saved up odyssey will be out, it comes out in a month)

Checking on Bestbuy, I found both the charging grip (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-joy-con-charging-grip/5730706.p?skuId=5730706) which'll charge your joycons as you or your friend play, and an off-brand version for a very reasonable price (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/powera-comfort-grip-for-nintendo-joy-con-controllers-black/5729901.p?skuId=5729901).

The charging grip is also available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Charging-Grip/dp/B01N33MFPK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1497755536&sr=8-3&keywords=joycon+grip), as is the non-charging off-brand grip (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Comfort-Grip-Black/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1497755536&sr=8-4&keywords=joycon+grip).

It's pretty weird that you can't buy a standalone Nintendo-brand non-charging grip, isn't it?

u/JevinTM · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

Here is a link to a grip that has a few different styles.

u/LostMyLastAccount · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

I saw this on amazon, it looks like what you're looking for: this is the link!

But the title of the product is soooooo bad.

u/slipperypooh · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

And every review says "Great for little hands" or "small", haha. Though I appreciate the link.

I guess I didn't realize you could play with motion controls with the pro controller, so I guess that could be an option. Can you play motion controls with the comfort grip, ala: https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Joy-Comfort-Grips-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01MS7YUA7/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1549558299&sr=8-2&keywords=switch+joy+con+comfort+grip ?

I guess it's not much different than the Pro Controller.

u/ShinakoX2 · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

An alternative to buying a pro controller is to get a better joy con grip. This is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Joy-Comfort-Grips-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01MS7YUA7

u/danbert2000 · 0 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

No, the standard non-pack in grip is larger and rubberized. And also made by powerA but branded Nintendo too.


"The Comfort Grip is slightly wider than the original Joy-Con Grip."

You could buy this third party one if you don't want to mess up your original. I kinda wish I had done that first but I was impatient ha.
