The Nitro Deck has been our favorite Nintendo Switch accessory since it launched last year. Effectively, it's a durable handheld controller for the Switch's tablet, packing excellent build quality and drift-resistant Hall effect sticks. A fantastic upgrade over the rather flimsy Joy-Con controllers.
