There&#8217;s even some stuff that kind of works, but still has some setbacks. If you want the full rundown, check out the video above.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also highlighted some of the items that will and won&#8217;t work below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(Mostly) won&#8217;t work on the Switch 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Official Nintendo Adjustable Charging Stand<\/li>\n<li>Original Switch Dock<\/li>\n<li>Genki Covert Dock (charging but no output)<\/li>\n<li>MicroSD Card (will only transfer photos and video, Switch 2 uses MicroSD Express Card)<\/li>\n<li>Switch cases, but some cases and packs can still fit a Switch 2 (PDP Sheikah Slate case, HORI adventure packs)<\/li>\n<li>Nintendo Switch console grips (Satisfye etc)<\/li>\n<li>Joy-Con grip holder, straps, charging standing, charging grip, and wheels do not work with Joy-Con 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Will work on Switch 2 (with a few caveats):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Original Switch Joy-Con (can&#8217;t be attached to the system)<\/li>\n<li>Original Switch Pro Controller, select Power-A Controllers, select fight sticks, Pok\u00e9 Ball Plus (won&#8217;t wake console up from sleep)<\/li>\n<li>Ring Fit Adventure accessories (Joy-Con 2 works appear to work with game)<\/li>\n<li>Nintendo Labo works on Switch 2 (system tablet too big for Labo VR Goggles)<\/li>\n<li>Switch 2 can be charged with Switch AC adapter (can&#8217;t power Switch 2 Dock)<\/li>\n<li>USB Network Adapter (use the built-in ethernet port instead)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once again, this is just a selection of items tested, and you can find out more about what Switch accessories will and won&#8217;t work with the Switch 2 in our previous coverage here on Nintendo Life.<\/p>\n<p>What accessories have you got to work with the Switch 2 so far?
