Satisfye ZenGrip 2 review for Nintendo Switch 2
It’s been a big year for Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, as tons of different manufacturers try to get in on the action with their own products. We’ve reviewed the Genki Attack Vector, the Savage Raven NeoGrip, the Savage Raven StandGrip, the JSAUX Split Protective Case, and the dbrand Killswitch. And after testing out all of these grips (and spending a crazy amount of money), we’ve finally found the best one. It took a while for Satisfye’s ZenGrip 2 to become available – shipping delays and such means that customers are only now receiving their item – but many have found that the wait was worth it. How does the ZenGrip 2 hold up against other options on the market?
Up until now, almost every Nintendo Switch 2 grip we’ve reviewed has had a big flaw in some way. Most of them didn’t fit in the official dock, for one, and that’s one major advantage that the ZenGrip 2 has – it fits in the dock without having to remove it. That already gives it bonus points over the StandGrip and the Killswitch 2, the latter of which requires a clunky dock adapter to be used in TV mode at all. As far as the feel of the grip goes, the ZenGrip 2 is definitely the best of them so far – I’d say the Killswitch’s feel rivals it, but I personally prefer the ZenGrip in this case. It does extend the width of the Nintendo Switch 2, unlike the Killswitch – if you have big hands, the ZenGrip is probably better for you, but if you have small hands the Killswitch might be the better option.
If you’re going to get a ZenGrip 2, I would recommend going for the slim bundle. This comes with the grip and a case to put it in. The actual case is made of a nice, premium-feeling material – I’ve seen some say they aren’t a fan of the texture, but I like it. You can fit all kinds of things inside the case, including a charger and a game case and a power bank, plus the case also has its own slots where you can put game cards. If you don’t get the case, the ZenGrip 2’s unique shape means that it probably won’t fit into any other Nintendo Switch 2 cases you may already have, so keep that in mind if you take your console out with you a lot. The grip itself lets you store a game cartridge inside, but I didn’t try that, to be honest – I have my own game case to securely store all of my cartridges, which I find is a better solution overall.
In terms of flaws, the only one I can really think of is that the ZenGrip 2 is a really tight fit. You have to shove your system in there with a good bit of force – this does mean it’s a secure fit, at least. I haven’t had any issues with scratching the Joy-Con 2, but if you repeatedly take the case off and put it back on, I could see something possibly happening eventually – but that’s completely unconfirmed and just based on a guess.
Overall, if you’re still looking for a Nintendo Switch 2 grip four months after launch, this is likely going to be the best one for you. It’s simple, dockable, and comfortable, which makes the ZenGrip 2 a great choice. I’m a big fan of the slim bundle’s case, as I mentioned earlier – there’s a ton of room inside the case to store things like game cases and such.
With this, we’ve reviewed most of the major Nintendo Switch 2 grip cases – stay tuned for our definitive ranking of them all coming soon. In the meantime, you can read more about the ZenGrip 2 over at the official Satisfye website.
