Accessory maker Satisfye revealed it was jumping on the Switch 2 bandwagon late last year with its own updated product.
In case you missed it, it's a follow up to the 'ZenGrip Pro' known as the 'ZenGrip 2' - like previous iterations, it's designed to give you a better grip, features "advanced floating design", and also has game cartridge storage.
The founder's edition in "midnight black" comes as a standalone purchase for $49.99 USD (or your regional equivalent) or you can buy a bundle, which comes with "slim" carry case for $69.99 USD. Even though the Switch 2 release date hasn't even been confirmed yet, pre-orders for this accessory are now live on the Satisfye's website and it's expected to ship in Spring 2025.
Here's the official description, along with the "expected features":
"Immerse yourself in an evolved ergonomic gaming experience with our innovative Free Float Technology, ensuring your console stays cool and scratch-free. Our ‘Perfect Fit’ design is meticulously designed to provide a secure hold. The asymmetrical design compensates for the low position of the right stick for a comfortable, fatigue-reducing gameplay. It distributes the weight in your hands like a traditional console controller, enhancing your gaming endurance. Play longer, play harder, with unparalleled comfort."
Dockable Design, Advanced floating design, Full port accessibility and unobstructed cooling, Asymmetric, Ergonomic Correct Hand Placement, Securely Store Up To Two Game Cards, Scratch-Resistant with Perfect Secure Fit, Built-in Vertical Stand with Room to Charge, Comfortable Non-slip Rubberized Grip
Here on Nintendo Life, we covered an existing version of the ZenGrip Pro, designed for use with the Nintendo Switch OLED.

Wow! A Switch 2 accessory producer that waited until after the reveal of thing to show off their product!
@N00BiSH They didn’t
Maybe wait until the Switch 2 actually launch before announcing any kind of accessories. I mean who knows, sometimes Nintendo change the design of their console too so most often it may not be 100% like what we saw in the reveal despite all the ideas are still there. Remember the Nintendo DS situation, the thing looks ugly during the reveal but got a sleek design change during launch so don't always bet on the reveal to be what the final product would look like.
@Serpenterror given the Switch 2 direct happening soon I'd wager that we're close enough to launch now that the design won't change much, but still it's kind of crazy to see some examples like how much the Wii U gamepad design changed from the first prototype they showed off:

The Satisfye zengrip and case have been my go to for several years now. I’ll most likely get the same for Switch 2 but I’ll wait for accessory reviews first just in case.
The only things I may buy ahead of time are a screen protector and memory card.
Spring you say? 🤔
Lol i just wait till the device is out.
I really like the grip for the original Switch, though I do not like where they put the game card storage on this one. I'm not sure it needs game card storage at all, but if it did there's so much space on the back support bar they could have used instead of the literal exact place the tips of your fingers are going to rest.
Personally, I'm interested in a screen protector and case first and foremost and wouldn't get them much earlier than the arrival of the system itself anyway but still, hope those going for this will enjoy it - have to say though that I also question the placement of the card storage slots!
That looks a very clumsy fit, especially near the buttons on the left Joycon. Hoping Skull and Co make a grip. Have their Neogrip on the OLED and it’s fantastic.
Anyone know if the Switch (1) Pro controller is compatible with Switch 2?
Im waiting for those lovely XL Hori split pads to be announced, my gorilla hands cant cope for long on tiny controllers lol
@Nightcrawler71 We don't know anything of the sort yet, unfortunately.
As Ugly as They Wanna Be
@Nightcrawler71
The Pro Controller most likely will be compatible but I'll be upgrading to the Switch 2 version.
Guessing there'll be a redesign for their NES pad now without the rails too. Hopefully it'll just have a usb cable for charging like the SNES ones.
This was announced days ago.
I don’t even know how the Switch 2 feels in my hands. It’s also nearly twice the price of the first one. Pass for now.
Wow, until today I never heard of pre-ordering an accessory. I've been out the loop for awhile it seems.
@Res462 You don't know the price.
@DripDropCop146 Do pre-ordering amiibos count as pre-ordering accessories?
Given we don't know how the S2 will feel in the hand, it's hard to get too excited about a grip just yet. Not knowing the weight balance or the grip/tactile of the joycons it's kinda premature. But, the angle that a grip can give vs the straight line of the joycon is real. I'll wait for the system to be available and probably for a review or two before getting too excited about grips just yet.
@Bret the Sayisfye Grip is $50, and the original was about $30.
I’ve used a Satisfye grip for so long that I’ll enjoy the break of not using one when I get my Switch 2. Also, the grip makes the Switch significantly heavier, so I wonder if Switch 2 will be too heavy with the grip.
@StudMuffin eh, it's all semantics
Same as the old one but bigger im assuming. An overpriced pice of plastic IMO, the one I got from Temu do the trick just fine and I can also dock my switch without the need to remove it🙂
I'll be ordering mine soon. I love the Satisfye grips and cases and have had several for my Switch, plus my wife and kids each have one with a cae for their own Switches. Satisfye is the clear easy choice for me grip wise.
@Res462 OH man I thought you meant the Switch 2 itself lol
What I want to see is some sort of ungodly adapter that will allow a Switch 1 Joy-Con controller to slide into it, then "clap" the whole thing into the Switch 2.
Not that I would buy that. I just want to see it so I can point and laugh.
I have a great love for Satisfye's grips. But I mostly use the controller and switch lite versions. The former I'm gonna hold off and see if I like the new controller dimensions first, the latter hasn't been announced yet.
Pre-ordered mine. I've tried many grips for the Switch so far and the Satisfye grip was by far the best. I'm glad the initial design will be dockable this time.
