Genki Unveils Switch 2 Accessories at CES 2025: First Look at Third-Party Controllers and Joy-Cons

Accessory manufacturer Genki made waves last week with the announcement that it would reveal new products designed for Nintendo’s highly anticipated Switch 2 console at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

As CES 2025 officially begins, industry attendees and gaming enthusiasts alike are getting their first glimpse at the company’s next-generation gaming accessories, which are already sparking conversations in the Nintendo Switch community. Genki, known for its innovative and community-driven Nintendo Switch accessories, has a history of enhancing the handheld console experience through products like the Genki Covert Dock and Waveform wireless adapters.

The company’s focus on user-centric design and cross-compatibility has earned it significant recognition among Switch users since the original console’s 2017 launch.

Now, Genki is aiming to solidify its role in the evolution of the Nintendo Switch ecosystem as the Switch 2 approaches release. New photos circulating from the CES 2025 show floor confirm that Genki’s latest accessories were displayed using mock-up units representing the still-unreleased Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.

These models showcase several elements previously leaked online, such as dual-colored Joy-Cons that expand on the iconic versatility of Nintendo’s signature detachable controllers.

Notably, Genki’s booth features a variety of controller designs, reflecting a commitment to both form and function for the upcoming console generation. A Genki spokesperson at CES described the company’s approach as “focused on bringing innovative control options and design variety to Switch 2 players,” signaling support for both casual and competitive gaming styles.

Genki’s lineup includes third-party Joy-Cons featuring enhanced ergonomics and color customization, as well as a pro-style controller aimed at providing a more traditional gamepad experience.

Alongside these peripherals, attendees noted the build quality and attention to compatibility with upcoming Switch 2 features displayed in Genki’s concept models. Additional images from the event reveal that Genki’s full accessory suite is designed to launch alongside the official debut of the Nintendo Switch 2, with plans for distribution via major online retailers and potentially the Nintendo eShop upon release.

With the Switch platform having sold over 139 million units as of December 2023, the accessories market remains a major opportunity for third-party innovators like Genki.

As anticipation for the Switch 2 continues to build, CES 2025 serves as a high-profile stage for companies to set the standard for the next era of Nintendo hardware. Stay tuned for further updates as Genki and other manufacturers continue to unveil products designed to enrich the Switch 2 gaming experience.

The coming months will likely bring even more insights from developers, accessory brands, and Nintendo itself as the industry awaits the official launch of its next major console.
