there are a lot of accessories for the Nintendo switch much more than most other consoles because a portable like that just opens itself up to so many different ideas and options and I've even covered a number of them on this channel before certainly not all of them can be well good so let's talk about saline into the switch accessories that you should absolutely not buy perio I mentioned before about the importance of having a screen protector for the switch but not all screen protectors are equal and one of the worst ones comes from PDP which really sucks by the way because there's actually the mainland that's pushed at most retailers even says you know oh it's the official one for the system don't fall for that trap this is not a good one to have it's going to create a ton of air bubbles no matter how hard you try there are a lot of other options out there from companies like Horry you can also get higher quality ones like glass screen protectors when it come to just getting an affordable cheap one don't buy this one it is just not a good idea next let's talk about some official Nintendo products that aren't exactly up to quality snuff starting with the joy con wheel now to be honest I'm a little biased in this because I don't really care about using motion controls in Mario Kart but I did it before on the Wii and that 15 dollar piece of plastic still was pretty fun to use because it was a full-sized wheel that felt kind of natural this one because the joint con is smaller it's also a smaller wheel that just feels honestly really weird and doesn't really get the job done it just feels like a slightly larger joy con at the end of the day also the design itself isn't that great the shoulder buttons have the larger travel time so it doesn't really work the way you want it to and you need to jump or use items it's just not comfortable I mean for a kid this could maybe work I think it's fine in that case but if you're like me and spend all your time just playing video games as an adult and you want a wheel that's actually going to perform well not a good choice there are knock-offs third-party options that are larger and probably going to suit your needs better don't go with a Nintendo one unless you have the hand size of a ten-year-old then we have a product that isn't bad in the sense of that it does its job terribly I mean it gets the job done fine for what it says it'll do but I just it solves a problem they don't see anyone having it and that's a battery extension for your joy columns now to begin with this is a $35 piece of plastic that holds batteries let that sink everyone I mean you get two of them great but it's still 35 bucks for this for giving a 20 hour battery life droidcon additional charge time I mean I've not once had a droid kondaiah me because they just plug it back into the switch whenever I'm done playing and they recharge up perfectly fine if for some reason your droid cons are dying a lot though you could use this to make it a bulky monstrosity that just doesn't really do anything that you need to have it do I mean if it maybe charge the system at the same time that'd be cool but it can't because it's blocking off the controller and using it as a solo joy Connor I just don't buy this you don't need it just plug the joy Khan in overnight and you're fine next up let's give Nintendo a little bit of a break and talk about third-party accessories again with the level 1 chat headset now before we even get into talking about the quality of this thing let's just let the concept sink in that this is a chat headset for the switch which doesn't currently have chat capabilities so all this is is a mono ear headset that sounds terrible you might as well just use regular ear pods and be done with it instead though they have this chat headset which isn't very good now I mean I get why it exists this is just a rebrand of their ps4 and Xbox one models it has a little red mark instead of a blue or green one but even then this is a cheap headset that is the definition of cheap it just doesn't sound good the chat qualities aren't great it just feels flimsy it's not comfortable just don't even when the switch does spork chat with that monstrosity the system that we've seen advertised for splatoon don't buy this one get something else have you seen the we'll get a picture of the splatoon headsets concept it's because the switch is going to use phones for chat yeah next we're going back to Nintendo with a little bit of a hot take I hate the droidcon grip I can't stop you from having any of these obviously because you're going to get one when you buy your switch in general please don't spend money on buying any more of these it is not comfortable remotely if you want from a traditional controller setup save up your money and buy a pro controller and otherwise just stick to using the droidcon separately that is so much more comfy than using the thing and if for some reason you do like this still don't buy them because you can buy another option that actually charges the controllers at least you're getting some kind of additional function out of it other than an awkward grip that just don't you know I I don't like this we already said this in the initial switch review you were there that's insanity to me so there you have five accessories for the switch that you should not buy now this is by no means a knock against either company as I talked about here I mean this was all pretty much an official Nintendo and PDP but VP I love your pixel pals keep making those nintendo everything else you're doing is great it's just some of the accessories aren't quite the things you should grab now I will link below some alternative options to some things I talked about better screen protectors the charge grip all that good stuff but I'll do stuff don't grab those please
