For the headphones, I got the raycons (best quality I found ever, even better than the airpods from my personal experience) and for cheaper, I would recommend the soundcour products, very good quality too for the prices. Take care everyone and pray for me beating cancer
Hey dude. Watched a couple of your videos now - just subbed. Love your calm, natural and 'non-peformancy' style that we see from a lot of people across the pond. Keep it up buddy 👍🏼
The quality of the video aside (it was great!), you just seem like a really nice and chill dude who I could listen to all day. Keep up your great work!
In terms of the hori splitpad, NYXI or BINBOK sell much better splitpads that feel better, have gyro and rumble, and are even wireless so you could use em on a grip to turn it into a pro controller. I fit them in the tomtoc larger case and they also have the SL and SR buttons if you need to play multiplayer.
I bought my skull & co grip bundled with a case and I'm loving everything about it. I have no issues playing for hours in handheld mode and I could just place it in the dock without disassembly in case of low battery. The case is spacious enough to fit the switch with the largest grip though it probably is 2x or more the thickness of tomtoc case.
Definitely going to buy that Skull and Co. grip. As a big Steam Deck player myself, switching back to the OLED to play Tears of the Kingdom was quite….an experience. I love the Steam Deck and how it fits in my hands. So good on you, you sold some accessories today. Haha
Love the video. Appreciate how you put stuff from Amazon and reasonably priced unlike other videos where the gadgets are for millionaires. Also, not sponsored but Tomtoc have the best cases EVER, bought one for my tablet a couple of years back and still have it today
Thanks so much man! Massively appreciate it 😄 Totally! It’s hard to get that across when there’s a sponsor involved but yeah, greeeeat cases. Glad you’re liking yours!
Damn, I was just wondering if there’s a new Mike Barnes video out and, what’s this? A brand new one! I’ve got the same SD card as that but for my Steam Deck :P OLED Switch now is just a Zelda machine hah
Heyoooo! I’m so honoured 🥲 Thank you dude 🙏🏼 You know it! 😂😂 I use the same sd for the steam deck but it’ll come in handy if I get any games apart from TOTK on the switch 😂
Nice im 14 but my mom will buy me the switch oled on my birthday. i have the original switch but nice video! Wait also i will pick up some of these thx of the ideas! Tho my mom sometimes say she have no money, i will get tears of the kingdom because why not lol😂.
Aw thank you so much bud, that’s so kind of you 😊 I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Hope you’re having a great day!
YOU ARE SO GOOD AT UA-cam DUDE! love the humor and chill feel and your personality is just infectious. Hope I can sit down with you someday and enjoy a pint lmfao. Keep killing it!
Man, I'll drop my like cause of this moment 8:30 almost spit my coffe, you're great, good tips with accessories cause you also explain "why" you prefer "A" to "B" and useful information. Nice one.
I have the Satisfye ZenGrip Pro, and I do kind of wish that I had gone for what you got or similar, but it works great and I am not complaining. On the controller side I use my 2 Xbox 1 controllers and they work great and have vibration. For my portable hub I have a UGREEN 4k 60Hz adaptor that I got for my Steam Deck, and an 8BitDo 2 to connect one of my x box controllers. If I need to connect both of them for some 3 person co play I do it via cable.
For the headphones, I got the raycons (best quality I found ever, even better than the airpods from my personal experience) and for cheaper, I would recommend the soundcour products, very good quality too for the prices. Take care everyone and pray for me beating cancer
i bought the neo grip and it says dockable on the box, but when you dock it, the sides of the dock touches the screen and grip aswell as expands a bit. is this same for you?
Thanks for the transparency in the description about the affiliate links. Lots of channels don't include that and that's always a sign for me to click off and find someone more honest.
@@mike.barnes I really liked the white one but according to other youtubers, they say the white one gets dirty fast so I went for the black one. The other colorways look also amazing but I also wanted something that goes with everything.
Hey Emily! How’re you doing bud? Ah man the Oled is suuuper nice, it’s going to make it hard deciding what games I should play on switch as opposed to the steam deck 🥲
Dude, your videos are soooooo good. Whats weird is that I had just bought an Oled when you uploaded the video "Why I bought a Switch Oled in 2023" and are litteraly looking at accessories as soon as this was suggested to me. Anyway, keep up the good work!
Sorry for the late reply my man! But thank you so so so much mate, so kind of you to say and im so glad that you're enjoying the videos 😊 How're you finding the switch so far??
Some great recommendations, I bought the grip and I’m loving it. The trigger grips are sooo comfy. Now to find a case that works with the trigger grips fitted.
I just bought a sleeve bc my case was too bulky… I don’t travel much, but if I need another case I’ll keep the one you recommended… I don’t buy the bags designed for “switch” because they say “hey there’s a switch in here” BUT since getting a switch I have bought bigger bags to hold my switch… if I ever take it anywhere. I do take my iPad places lol
Prob should have mentioned the blue tooth adapter prior to the Bluetooth headphones… I personally play on the TV more than handheld. If I am playing handhold I am prob multitasking by listening to something else.
To me the 8bitdo pro 2 is better than the ultimate !! I have the gameboy edition it’s amazing and I did my joycon shell with gameboy colors it’s amazing too
I have skull n co grip and I want a thinner case, is it safe to use the tomtoc with the small grip? I don’t want to damage the bumpers or the joysticks
Never seen a tomtoc add or sponsored video before but i do personally have a few tomtoc bags and items. They are Definitely the best bang for your buck out there and have great clean design.
I don't know if your joy cons are getting damaged in the tomtoc case or not. But skull and co do a slim case of there own designed especially for those smaller grips . Might be worth adding to your basket if you shop with them again . I certainly would recommend it and the joy grip also for docked play
I will try and find out when I’m home for certain, but as Will’s kindly said…it does work as a Bluetooth controller with pc so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with steam deck?
Is it worth it to buy a switch oled now in its 6 years cycle if I never had one before? Seems to me like a bad move when a new console might be coming out next year
Will depend on if a switch successor has backwards compatibility with switch cartridges. All Nintendo's previous handhelds played the previous consoles cartridges, but the switch doesn't let you play 3DS cartridges. At the end of the 3DS's life cycle they started to discount them so maybe they do the same with the Switch and you can pick it up cheaper then if you want to experience the switch's game library.
(maybe this can be assessed by separating the piece using the screws)? If not, how often do you remove the grip? If not very often, perhaps an alternative would be to use some double-edged tape to fixate the parts after cutting?
Have you tried looking into the fixture S2 grip that connects switch tablet with the pro controller? It's like a holder mount. I miss using the skull n go grip but my left joycon's stick have worn out and makes a very uncomfortable sound when I use it lol
Hey man! I have seen that floating around yes. I think it’s a great option. I think I leant towards the grip as it was less bulky but do you have one? If so, how do you find it?
@@mike.barnes My personal experience I liked using it when I was sitting at the table and sitting straight up on the couch. Laying down i set it on my stomach due to some weight but still playable. My joycon started drifting so I set aside the skull n co grip for a while but it was neat playing with a pro controller in handheld mode.
Agreed on the part of the satisfye. It seems only available in the US. Shipping to outside the US is very pricey. Another issue i experienced in the OG satisfye is since the back grip parts are those soft silicone material, after awhile it gets sticky and 5he the material seems to disintegrate.
Scammer will not pay you ..I had a task to like and watch your video and agency will pay me . They were scammer they didn't pay me .. I am going to unlike your video and mark as a scam
@ghosttiee9212 I have never used dock mode .I just prefer the switch for throwing in a bag or jacket pocket. . The oled just kind of too big so it's my house switch 😅😅😅
A bag that doubles as a nifty hat?! SOLD.
Hahahahahahahahaha 😂 What a BARGAIN
@Mike Barnes I commented before I even got to the Gamecube controller nipple play.
This channel is just TOO DAMN SEXY.
@@slantia5 We’ve got it ALL here buddy

Tomtoc cases are legitimately fantastic. I throw that sucker in my luggage or wherever and never worry about my Switch getting damaged.
Hey dude. Watched a couple of your videos now - just subbed. Love your calm, natural and 'non-peformancy' style that we see from a lot of people across the pond. Keep it up buddy 👍🏼
Ah man this was such a kind comment to receive 🥲 Thank you so so much mate 🙏 Really appreciate ya

This video couldn't have come at a better time, I'm legit having the Zelda TOTK edition Switch Oled delivered on monday. So excited
Yessss dude! Lemme know how you find it, the TOTK edition looks sooooo sick
The quality of the video aside (it was great!), you just seem like a really nice and chill dude who I could listen to all day. Keep up your great work!

I fit them in the tomtoc larger case and they also have the SL and SR buttons if you need to play multiplayer.
I have the nyxi Hyperion pro, and put it (on the switch) in the tomtoc case that's made for the steam deck, and it works great.

The case is spacious enough to fit the switch with the largest grip though it probably is 2x or more the thickness of tomtoc case.
That's kind of been my struggle. I love my Skull and Co Max carry case but she's honking HUGE
Definitely going to buy that Skull and Co. grip. As a big Steam Deck player myself, switching back to the OLED to play Tears of the Kingdom was quite….an experience. I love the Steam Deck and how it fits in my hands. So good on you, you sold some accessories today. Haha
Can you tell me how it feels when you buy skull and co. grip? Idk if its better to buy that or satisfy grip
I can vouch for the TomToc. I got a pink to blue gradient one, so I could cram it in my camera bag. It’s great 👍🏻
I have the Skull grip too, using the large handles, makes the Switch really comfortable for long sessions 👍🏻👍🏻
TomToc is an absolutely amazing case.
I have the grips and the blue gradient Tomtoc case 😊
Minute 8:30 sold me on the controller 😂🤣
😉😉😉
Love the video. Appreciate how you put stuff from Amazon and reasonably priced unlike other videos where the gadgets are for millionaires. Also, not sponsored but Tomtoc have the best cases EVER, bought one for my tablet a couple of years back and still have it today

Oh STOP you’re making me blush 🫠
purchased the tomtoc switch case on your recommendation. it's a nearly perfect case for my OLED. Thanks!
For the headphones, I got the raycons (best quality I found ever, even better than the airpods from my personal experience) and for cheaper, I would recommend the soundcour products, very good quality too for the prices. Take care everyone and pray for me beating cancer
Hey dude thanks for the video!
I happen to have a Sony wh-1000xm4 but I can't find them with the console.
How did you pair them?
Big fan of skull & co!! Would also like to know how you processed your voice. Sounds crazy good.
I have that MicroSD for my Deck
i bought the neo grip and it says dockable on the box, but when you dock it, the sides of the dock touches the screen and grip aswell as expands a bit. is this same for you?
Videos really helpful 🙌 just subbed, good work man!
Thanks for the transparency in the description about the affiliate links. Lots of channels don't include that and that's always a sign for me to click off and find someone more honest.
Thank you for this video because I have a switch OLED arriving from Amazon this will help me
Glad I could help 😄
I'am loving your nintendo switch videos, what a coinsidence I just ordered the tomtoc sling bag and you just made a review on it😂😂😂
Thank you so much my man! 😄 Oh siiiick! What colour did you go for??
@@mike.barnes I really liked the white one but according to other youtubers, they say the white one gets dirty fast so I went for the black one.
The other colorways look also amazing but I also wanted something that goes with everything.
5:14 why not all screen protectors in the market has guides like that?
Skull & Co make nice slim case to fit with the smallest grip
Is there any latency on the ear buds? Everything I've used with the Switch OLED has a one second delay, which is a deal breaker.
It’s got a super low latency mode which means almost 0 delay
Ello ello! Now you’re making me want an OLED switch
Hey Emily! How’re you doing bud? Ah man the Oled is suuuper nice, it’s going to make it hard deciding what games I should play on switch as opposed to the steam deck 🥲
Dude, your videos are soooooo good. Whats weird is that I had just bought an Oled when you uploaded the video "Why I bought a Switch Oled in 2023" and are litteraly looking at accessories as soon as this was suggested to me. Anyway, keep up the good work!
Sorry for the late reply my man! But thank you so so so much mate, so kind of you to say and im so glad that you're enjoying the videos 😊 How're you finding the switch so far??
Just got a Switch OLED and this video is a GAMECHANGER!! Subbed!
Thank you my man! 😄
Some great recommendations, I bought the grip and I’m loving it. The trigger grips are sooo comfy. Now to find a case that works with the trigger grips fitted.
Thank you dude! Glad you’re enjoying the grips 😊 I think skull and co make a case that fits the grips?
Been on the fence for the Skull n Co! Good shout.
You deserve 1mil + subs
Far, far too kind my man. Thank you so much Ralia🙏🏼

Ahh too kind my man! Thank you so much 😄 You are so welcome, thanks for watching and for the kind comment 😁
Prob should have mentioned the blue tooth adapter prior to the Bluetooth headphones… I personally play on the TV more than handheld. If I am playing handhold I am prob multitasking by listening to something else.
not the neo grip. the gripcase
To me the 8bitdo pro 2 is better than the ultimate !! I have the gameboy edition it’s amazing and I did my joycon shell with gameboy colors it’s amazing too
I recommend the Nyxi Hyperion it made handheld experience so much better and on the bridge it’s the size of the pro controller
Yesss great shout man! I’ve seen a lot of people rave about them. Would love to check them out one day. Thank you 😊
hey Mike, want to hear your thoughts on Sony MDR-1AM2, i use it daily with my pc, are they going to be enough for the switch?
I have skull n co grip and I want a thinner case, is it safe to use the tomtoc with the small grip? I don’t want to damage the bumpers or the joysticks
You said tomtoc and you defo are in good hands with their bags. I bought backpack and sling bag mid of last year for a trip I had and they are amazing
(Retroflag Handheld Controller) for the switch is my favourite Joycon alternative, followed by (Hori Split Pad Pro)
Does the switch with the Skull&Co frame and biggest grips fit in the Sling Bag?
After watching a few of your Switch videos, I have just ordered a Switch OLED today. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive. Thanks!
I’m loving the new Zelda game so much! I already have 70 hours in it and I’m sure that number will increase much, much more😂
Never seen a tomtoc add or sponsored video before but i do personally have a few tomtoc bags and items. They are Definitely the best bang for your buck out there and have great clean design.
Ur video is full of sponsors, like almost 3 minutes of ads, that´s mad bro.
Boring sd card comment made me follow you lmao
😉 Thank you my man
new subscriber here :)
I chosen the black one with the red strap and the multi coloured tomtoc logo😊
I don't know if your joy cons are getting damaged in the tomtoc case or not. But skull and co do a slim case of there own designed especially for those smaller grips . Might be worth adding to your basket if you shop with them again . I certainly would recommend it and the joy grip also for docked play
Great shout dude! I didn’t know they did a custom case, that’s great to know. Thanks for letting me know mate 😄
this video made me buy the tom toc case and the sd card you recomended, i love the vibe of the video, so chill and calm, love it
So is the samsung sd card good enough for the switch?
Yeah man!
can you use the game cube controller with a steam deck? i need to know before i buy
You can use it with a PC and it works fine so I’d assume so but can’t 100% as I don’t have a steam deck
I will try and find out when I’m home for certain, but as Will’s kindly said…it does work as a Bluetooth controller with pc so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with steam deck?
@@mike.barnes cool, yeah let me know whenever 👍
I LOVE my tomtoc pro controller case! It’s so slim and sleek
mega video thx
I love my switch OLED and have lots of fun playing games in it
I got the Dobe Controller Grip (it makes it easier to use the joy cons as a 2-player controler)
Cool Video! Keep up the good work mate
Thank you my man!
It would make me miss playing some GameCube games too much playing with that GameCube joycon lol
I totally feel you 🥲
Great video and recommendations mate! 🍺
Thank you my man! 🙏🏼
That just bought my sub 8:31

Hi sir dianne
I just use ps5 controller for my switch
Waterfield still makes the best Switch case.
8:30 😂
Hey, I wonder if one could cut the grip so that it can still be used when the joy-cons are detached. Would it hold nicely to the joycons?
(maybe this can be assessed by separating the piece using the screws)? If not, how often do you remove the grip? If not very often, perhaps an alternative would be to use some double-edged tape to fixate the parts after cutting?
Your videos are so good bro, keep it up!
I can attest the 8bitdo ultimate controller, in my opinion, is the best traditional controller I've ever used! highly recommend!
I had it it’s good bit I prefer the 8bitdo pro 2 more for my exclusively handheld switch OLED
Imagine a fully grown man wearing a purse for the purpose of carrying a device to play video games away from home
IMAGINE
Then what?
Down!
