Launching as a Kickstarter campaign this July 24th is the Grip Clip. This Nintendo Switch accessory aims to provide added comfort to the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons and the company claims it feels "truly amazing in your hands". How much of that is true remains to be seen but when we were contacted by the creator, this project seemed interesting enough to keep an eye out for.

​

As its name suggests, the Grip Clip clips on each Joy-Con to provide a better and more ergonomic grip for your gameplay sessions. It is also designed in such a way that makes it compatible in both handheld and docked mode.

There is no word about the pricing at the time of writing but the official website does mention early bird discount. In any case, expect more details on the Kickstarter campaign linked below when it launched this July 24th.

As nice as that looks, it’s only worth it if you don’t have a pro controller. No way would I be using those on the go, my switch wouldn’t fit in my case nor would the grips fit in the accessory pouch.

I might jump on the train, but I think I can re-purpose some 3DS grips....so...

Very nice. Looks like good quality plastic as well. I feel like it may be a tad too big though.

Plus it seems to be useless if you ever need to use the joycons sideways which is a whole other problem for anyone with hands larger than a toddler

If you have a 3d printer (or a friend with one) you can basically print it.

eh... Not for me.

there is lots of grips out there already so meh.

This looks like a good alternative to the GripCase, but you'd still have to get a pouch that will fit them. The pouch designed for the GripCase would likely fit this too, the shape and size is similar.

I wonder when will we see a Kickstarter campaing for a DriftFix™ addon. You know, one by one somebody has to fix Nintendo's fuckups.

I would still prefer a pro controller thanks to the larger joystick,

Shame that the switch is so poorly designed that kickstarters need to be created just to address its fundamental design flaws.

Wrong thread

Looks like cheap rubber coated plastic that will turn into a sticky mess in a year or two.

I believe they were purposely going for a slim design. if you wanted some grips you would buy the dlc - joycon grips.

I have cheap chinese silicone grips, they work ok. As far as i know this silicone grips was originally part of kickstarter project.

I just hacked up the grip that came with the Switch and glued them directly to my joycons.

Also I already have a set of grips similar to these that came from a chinese website...

Nintendo!!!! Fix the damn cheap but expensive joy cons. Just make a literal announcement of an announcement

Aren't there already like a lot of accessories similar to this are sold? I even have a skull and co grips and my friend has that mumba grips.

yup there are tons of stuff like this the only diference i can see is that it can be adapted to the joycon grip too to play in tv mode, which is kinda useless because if you prefer doing alot of tv mode just get a pro controller lol.
