I like my split ergo Joy-Con.

Dbrand’s new $20 Joy-Lock is simple, but great. I typically don’t ever want to use my Switch 2 Joy-Con, but that’s changed a bit since this holder lets them spread out for added comfort. The Joy-Lock looks and feels best when used with the company’s $20 grips (also included with the Killswitch), but they aren’t required.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

<em>The mechanism spaces the Joy-Con apart about as much as Nintendo’s stock Joy-Con grip.</em>
<em>Putting the Joy-Lock into Batarang mode requires pulling on the Joy-Con with a fair bit of force</em>.
<em>The Joy-Lock shells aren’t required, but they add some much-needed ergonomics to the Joy-Con controllers.</em>

Bose takes a swing at Sonos with its new home speakers
