Despite being a runaway success for Japanese game publisher and developer Nintendo, the Nintendo Switch has regularly drawn criticism for its diminutive controllers and their incompatibility with big hands or lengthy handheld sessions.

Stylised like the much-loved GameCube controller of the early 2000s, this ergonomic deck is a big upgrade comfort-wise over the standard Joy-Cons. Simply slide your Switch into it, and you’re away.

Along with the unit, you’ll get a carry case, USB-C cable and some extra thumb toppers for more grip, should you need it. There’s also a two-year guarantee from the manufacturer, so you can rest assured this piece of kit will keep you going for years to come. It’s compatible with the Switch and the OLED model, but naturally it remains to be seen whether it will work with its upcoming successor.

Existing customers seem to be thrilled with the Nitro Deck, awarding it an average of 4.7 out of 5from 43 Argos reviews.

A third added: “Really great item with great features. Makes the Switch feel like a new console… Really would highly recommend.”

The£39.99 Hori Split Padfrom game is another popular option to consider, with a chunky form factor that’s comfortable to hold for hours upon hours. For TV gaming, if the Switch’s Joy-Cons don’t suit your needs, then you could opt for theSwitch Pro Controller for £59.99.
