Nintendo Switch 2 players can grab a surprisingly good alternative to the Joy-Con 2 for handheld mode for only $42.49 (was $54) at Amazon. This is the lowest price yet for the Gammeefy JC400, a Bluetooth controller with a cradle designed specifically to hold the Switch 2 console. The JC400 has Hall Effect sticks with RGB light rings, two remappable back buttons, rumble with five intensity levels, six-axis motion controls, and numerous other features that make it a bargain.

You’re probably wondering about the brand, right? Gammeefy? Yeah, it’s not a major brand. It’s one of those accessory brands you find on Amazon that happens to sell the same exact product as other brands you also haven’t heard of. The JC400, for instance, is also sold by several other brands on Amazon. Additionally, the 2,700+ customer reviews (4.5/5-star average) is bolstered by an older model for the original Switch and Switch OLED on the same store page. It’s worth noting the Switch/Switch OLED version of the controller is only $28 (was $40) for a limited time.

We rarely highlight off-brand accessories sold by multiple brands–a common occurrence on Amazon–but the JC400 is actually quite impressive.

Gammeefy JC400 Nintendo Switch 2 Bluetooth Controller

There aren’t many third-party handheld controllers for Nintendo Switch 2. The most notable option in the pipeline is the Nitro Deck 2, which is slated to launch in March/April with a $100 MSRP. Two of GameSir’s Bluetooth controllers for smartphones and tablets also work with Switch 2. The GameSir Galilelo G8 Plus ($80) and X5s controllers ($50) work well but both have extendable bridges that leave a sizable portion of the console exposed, so those can be tough sells for anyone who takes their Switch 2 on the go. The JC400, on the other hand, is a Switch 2 handheld controller that doubles as an ergonomic grip case.

Additional adjustments can be made by syncing the JC400 to a free iOS and Android app called KeyLinker. Since this is an app used by a bunch of different controllers from various brands, it doesn’t offer as nice of an experience as proprietary customization suites. Nonetheless, it gets the job done, allowing you to tinker with stick sensitivity, create dead zones, remap all inputs, switch between the three RGB lightning modes, and adjust the six-axis motion controls.
