Grab the Best Price on This Excellent Switch 2 Handheld Controller at Amazon!

Nintendo Switch 2 players can snag a solid alternative to the Joy-Con 2 for handheld gaming at just $42.49 (down from $54) on Amazon. This marks the lowest price yet for the Gammeefy JC400, a Bluetooth controller designed with a cradle specifically for the Switch 2. The JC400 features Hall Effect sticks with RGB light rings, two remappable back buttons, adjustable rumble with five intensity levels, six-axis motion controls, and a host of other features that make it a great deal. You might be curious about the brand, Gammeefy. While it’s not a household name, it’s one of those accessory brands on Amazon that offers products similar to others you may not have heard of. The JC400 is also available from various other brands on the platform. Plus, it boasts over 2,700 customer reviews with an impressive average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, supported by feedback on an older model for the original Switch and Switch OLED. Notably, the version for the Switch and Switch OLED is currently priced at $28 (was $40) for a limited time. While we don’t often highlight off-brand accessories that are sold under multiple names, the JC400 stands out as a noteworthy option.

When it comes to third-party handheld controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2, options are limited. The most anticipated contender is the Nitro Deck 2, set to launch in March/April with a price tag of $100. Additionally, two of GameSir’s Bluetooth controllers for smartphones and tablets are compatible with the Switch 2: the GameSir Galilelo G8 Plus ($80) and the X5s ($50). However, both of these controllers have extendable bridges that leave part of the console exposed, which might not appeal to those who frequently travel with their Switch 2. In contrast, the JC400 serves as both a handheld controller and an ergonomic grip case.

For further customization, you can sync the JC400 with a free app called KeyLinker, available on iOS and Android. While this app is used by various controllers from different brands and may not provide the most seamless experience compared to dedicated customization software, it allows you to adjust stick sensitivity, create dead zones, remap inputs, switch between three RGB lighting modes, and fine-tune the six-axis motion controls.
