It’s only a matter of time before an accessory manufacturer releases an alternative handheld controller designed for Nintendo Switch 2. Controllers like Hori’s officially licensed Split Pad Pro\/Compact<\/a> and CRKD’s Nitro Deck<\/a> became popular choices for those seeking better ergonomics and customization features. But you actually don’t have to wait to ditch the Joy-Con 2. I’ve spent the past few days playing the Switch 2 in handheld mode with the versatile GameSir G8 Plus Galileo Bluetooth Controller<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The G8 Plus has an extendable cradle like the Backbone Pro<\/a>, Razer Kishi V3 Pro<\/a>, and many other mobile controllers. Where it differs from most is that it offers Nintendo Switch support in addition to iOS and Android. Store pages haven’t been updated to mention Switch 2, but I’ve spent the past few days using the G8 Plus and can confirm it offers the same functionality on Nintendo’s new console.<\/p>\n

So far, I’ve found that the G8 Plus works well on Switch 2 and has several features beyond improved ergonomics that make it a compelling alternative: back buttons, Hall Effect sticks, swappable components, a traditional D-pad, and Marvel-themed designs.<\/p>\n

GameSir collaborated with Marvel to create officially licensed models themed around Hulk<\/a> and Thanos<\/a>. Both Marvel editions are currently on sale for $80 at Walmart. If you don’t like Marvel, the standard black version is available for $56 at Walmart<\/a> or $80 at Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
