Dbrand Claims Its New Joy-Con Holder Is More Comfortable Than A Pro Controller
Accessory manufacturer dbrand has announced a new Joy-Lock Controller Holder for the Nintendo Switch 2, claiming it provides superior comfort to the official Pro Controller while costing significantly less.
The Joy-Lock Controller Holder is a plastic case designed to accommodate the Switch 2’s Joy-Con controllers, featuring a hinged design that allows users to adjust the angle for improved ergonomics. The device is priced at $19.95 when purchased standalone.
dbrand positions the new holder as a more affordable alternative to the Pro Controller, emphasizing that it offers comparable or superior comfort at approximately one-fifth of the cost. The company states the product is “80% cheaper than a Pro Controller, yet somehow even more comfortable.”
The Joy-Lock Controller Holder can be paired with dbrand’s complementary Joy-Lock Grips, also priced at $19.95. When purchased together, customers receive a $5 discount, bringing the combined price to $34.90. This bundle approach allows users to customize their controller setup according to their preferences.
The product follows a similar design philosophy to existing third-party grips like the JoyVerse grip from JSAUX, which also provides enhanced ergonomics for Joy-Con controllers. The hinged mechanism distinguishes dbrand’s offering, enabling users to find their optimal holding angle.
This launch comes as Nintendo Switch 2 becomes available, with accessory manufacturers rapidly developing products to meet demand from players seeking alternatives to official controllers. The competitive pricing and comfort claims position dbrand’s product toward budget-conscious gamers and those seeking ergonomic improvements.
