Our verdict

One of these should be bought on day one, the other when the budget allows. The ivoler 4-pack of Switch 2 screen protectors costs only a few pounds, includes an alignment frame for a 30-second fit, offers 9H hardness, and is rated 4.6 by 52,759 buyers, absurd value for protecting a 7.9-inch display. The Joy-Con pair, roughly ten times dearer and rated 4.7, expands multiplayer but note these are original Switch Joy-Cons, so check compatibility with your setup before buying. Protect the screen first, it is the cheapest insurance in gaming. Add controllers once the essentials are covered.
