Nintendo Switch Mount for pro controller

thingiverse

This is a holder for your Nintendo Switch that mounts it directly over the pro controller while leaving enough room for your hands to still use the controller and play comfortably. I've put a lot of work into this over the original model I remixed from. It comes in two parts that clip together with no glue required. The mount sits on top of the controller, rather than hanging off the bottom. This allows for the centre of gravity to sit comfortably aligned with the middle of your palms, which should reduce wrist strain as well as meaning that the fit doesn't have to be so tight that it scratches the controller. In my opinion, this is much more comfortable than using the switch with the joycons mounted at the side. Supports needed from base plate for the controller mount - there are two small indents on the base. As one of the is where the flexible section is, supports are an absolute requirement. The supports required are extremely small though. I've added a flexible element to the controller mount so that the fit can be sufficiently tight but it shouldn't scratch your controller (no liability accepted for scratches ;-) ). I've put the switch mount as a seperate piece that should just clip together with the controller mount. A flexible head on the controller mount holds the switch in place without scratching and the full width tray prevents the switch from sliding to either side. There are holes on both the controller mount and the switch mount to allow charging of the controller and the switch during play. Although there are flexible parts, I've tested mine and I can turn it completely upside down without the switch falling out (though in a serious drop I can't guarantee that it wouldn't fall out). There is enough space between the controller and the switch that an adult's hands can play comfortably without colliding with the controller mount with a viewing angle that should be sensible if the controller is on your lap or you are sat at a table. The only slight issue is that the controller mount could be a little bit more snug at the back to prevent a little bit of sideways slide, but I think this is easily good enough at this point now. If you do make this, it would be nice if you could drop a comment on it to say how you've found it as I'd like to think that people get use out of my design
