Amazon’s October Prime Day sale is here, and it’s proving to be a good opportunity to save some money on accessories for your Nintendo Switch 2. While the console isn’t discounted, a number of recommended add-ons are cheaper than ever (some are discounted for the first time), including microSD Express cards, carrying cases, controllers, screen protectors, and more.
We’re covering Prime Big Deal Days from multiple angles here at The Verge. Our main guide has well over 100 deals we think are fantastic, ranging from 4K TVs, Bluetooth speakers, earbuds, and more. We also have a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the several other roundups and deal articles we’ve published during the sale. We’ll update this post as we find new deals to add.
PNY microSD Express card
This 128GB model is the most affordable price we’ve ever seen on a microSD Express card. Granted, it’s not much storage, but it might be enough for you.
Belkin’s sleek carrying case does the basics very well. It protects your console, covering its screen with a flap that has 12 game card slots. It also has an AirTag pocket.
The Super Nova is a solid wireless controller that won’t break the bank. It has swappable magnetic face plates, plus its buttons can be moved in case you want to switch to the Xbox layout.
amFilm OneTouch two-pack of glossy screen protectors
In keeping up with some brands that offer faster installations, amFilm offers a two-pack of glossy protectors that includes a “OneTouch” tray. Remove the protector’s bottom film, attach the tray to your device, and then press gently on the protector until it’s fully applied.
Gulikit’s ES Pro is a love letter to the Xbox controller, but for Switch 2. This gamepad features an eight-way D-pad that’s great for fighting games, Metroidvanias, and retro titles where it’s an advantage to easily be able to aim diagonally.
Gulikit Elves 2 is a compact, Sega Saturn-inspired controller that’s a great pick for kids or small-handed folks who have a difficult time wrapping their digits around larger gamepads.
