Top 8 reasons you need Mechanism on your Switch 2

Mechanism comes in two halves. Innies live on your device. Outies mount to the world. You buy one innie, the Basegrip for Switch 2, and then every outie on this list clicks onto the same console. Start with the grip and add the mounts that match how you actually play.

    Your arms will never fall asleep again

    Your arms will never fall asleep again

    The Gaming Pillow floats your Switch 2 above you at eye level and takes the weight your forearms have been carrying. Lie back, drop your arms, use a controller in each hand, and keep playing past the point where you usually put it down.

    Incredible comfort! I use this with my Nintendo Switch 2 while holding a joy-con in each hand. I can be in total rest mode while playing my favorite games.Andrew H. · verified buyer

    It clips to the tray table

    It clips to the tray table

    The Tray Table Mount clamps onto the tray in front of you, holds the screen at your eye line, and folds flat into its own pouch when the drink cart shows up. It keeps its grip through turbulence, which is more than the coffee manages.

    Exactly what I needed for my 5 hour flight. The tray table mount keeps a solid grip even during turbulence!Rachel J. · verified buyer

    Your desk stops being a pile

    Your desk stops being a pile

    The Desk Stand parks your Switch 2 upright at the angle you set, and gives the cables, the phone, and the spare controller one base to live on instead of wherever they landed. It is a dock, a stand, and a battlestation, and it collapses flat enough to travel.

    This hefty stand is perfect! It has enough weight on the bottom to balance my Switch 2 on multiple surfaces.Dakyleman · verified buyer

    Two screens, like the DS you miss

    Two screens, like the DS you miss

    The Phone Mount puts your phone beside the Switch 2 screen. Maps, guides, Discord, or a second playable screen for DS emulation. It also takes GoPro screws and a 1/4-20 thread, so the camera rigs and arms you already own fit it too.

    Wow I love having two screens. Adding a second screen for 3DS emulation should work very well.Eli · verified buyer

    It clamps to the bike, not to your hands

    It clamps to the bike, not to your hands

    The Claw Mount was designed to grip a pole, and it turns out handlebars, rails, and the edge of most surfaces qualify. Spin for an hour, play for an hour, hold nothing.

    Gaming while on a stationary bike... is apparently a thing. OMG. This little wonder holds my Deck tight even when the virtual hillclimbs get brutal.Scott F. · verified buyer

    It adds no weight

    It adds no weight

    The Basegrip clips onto the back and disappears. No bulk in your hands, no blocked vents, no extra carry case, and your Joy-Cons still come off. All of the function, none of the weight.

    A must for the switch 2, I already had the gaming pillow for the steam deck - HIGHLY recommend. Makes handheld gaming much more comfortableAngelique Evans · verified buyer

    It stays dockable

    It stays dockable

    Leave the grip on. The Switch 2 still drops straight into the dock, so charging does not mean pulling the grip off every night. Nothing to remember, nothing to lose in a hotel room.

    Fits easily and snuggly. Foam is nice to hold it. Still docks perfectly! Clips to my pillow easily.Fred · verified buyer

    Already have a case? Keep it

    Already have a case? Keep it

    The Universal Grip is adhesive, so it sticks to the hard case you already own and turns that case into a mounting point. It works on a phone or a tablet too, which is either a bonus or a warning depending on your backlog.

    Amazing addition to the killswitch case for the Switch 2. Now I can use the pillow while playing pokopia in bed.Korra R. · verified buyer

Before you build

Asked and answered

What do I buy first?
The Basegrip for Switch 2. It is $19, it is the only part that touches your console, and every mount in the ecosystem clicks into it. The grip is the part that makes the rest work.
Do I have to take it off to dock?
No. The Switch 2 still fits the dock with the Basegrip on, so you are not pulling the grip off to charge.
I already use a case. Does that break this?
It does not. The Universal Grip is adhesive and mounts to the hard case you already own, so you keep the protection and gain the mounting point. It is $8.
How much does the whole thing cost?
The grip is $19. Mounts run from $15 to $59. Build three items in the bundle builder and checkout takes 15% off, five items takes 25%.

Build the bundle. Skip the guesswork

Start on the Switch 2 with the grip already in the build, add the mounts you want, and let the builder do the counting. Nothing reaches your cart until you say so.
