Accessory maker Genki offers a range of Switch 2 accessories, including the Attack Vector, a modular grip case designed for handheld gaming comfort.
The Attack Vector comprises three parts: a slim main body that clips onto the Switch 2 console and two attachments that bolt onto the Joy-Con 2 controllers. While the case provides basic scratch protection, it offers minimal defense against drops or serious damage.
Its thin design allows the console to remain dockable, and a magnetic rear section supports snap-on accessories such as external battery packs. Genki offers its own battery pack called the Energy Pack that can attach via this system.
The standout feature is the set of three swappable grips for the Joy-Con 2 sections. The smallest, “Feather,” provides minimal enhancement, but the “Balance” and “Anchor” grips significantly improve ergonomics with their larger, rubberized, sweat-resistant surfaces. These grips make extended gameplay on the Switch 2 noticeably more comfortable.
Compared to the Steam Deck OLED, the Switch 2’s ergonomics are less refined; however, the Attack Vector helps narrow this gap.
Despite these strengths, the case feels flimsy with noticeable flex in the main body and considerable wobble in the Joy-Con attachments due to their modular design. The magnetic connectors work well but highlight the separate components, contributing to instability during use.
Overall, the Attack Vector enhances comfort and adds useful modular features but sacrifices sturdy protection. It is relatively expensive at $49.99/£42, considering it mainly offers thin plastic sections with ergonomic grips.
