Yesterday

Belkin has introduced a range of gaming accessories designed for compatibility with the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 in Australia and New Zealand.

The new portfolio marks Belkin's first step into the gaming accessories market, having developed a series of charging solutions, protective gear, and travel cases intended for users of the next-generation Nintendo console.

Belkin's offerings are being positioned as a response to both the growing popularity of handheld gaming devices and the needs of mobile gamers seeking reliability and protection for their equipment.

The portfolio includes a Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2, Travel Case for Nintendo Switch 2, TemperedGlass Anti-Reflective Screen Protector, TemperedGlass Blue Light Screen Protector, a USB-C Cable, a 20,000mAh 30W Power Bank, and a 65W Wall Charger. These products are available throughout June in both the Australian and New Zealand markets.

"Gaming is a natural extension of the Belkin brand. With our legacy of creating products that empower people to 'be ready for today', we're excited to bring Belkin's trusted accessories into the world of gaming. This new portfolio not only allows us to support the next generation of Nintendo Switch, but also reflects our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability. It's an exciting step forward as we continue expanding into new categories and delivering meaningful products to meet the needs of our diverse community of users," Steve Malony, Chief Executive Officer of Belkin, said.

The Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2 is designed to deliver both protection and charging capabilities, enabling users to charge their devices while stored. The case includes a 10,000mAh battery pack, with a power delivery of up to 20W, intended to alleviate concern over battery depletion during gaming sessions. The pricing for this charging case is AUD $99.95 and NZD $109.05, and it is available in Charcoal, Sand, and Green colours.

For portability, the Travel Case for Nintendo Switch 2 is offered as an option for gamers seeking to guard their devices against daily wear and tear. Priced at AUD $39.95 and NZD $49.95, the travel case also comes in Charcoal, Sand, and Green variants.

Belkin's screen protection range features two tempered glass solutions for the Switch 2. The TemperedGlass Anti-Reflective Screen Protector is tailored for users who require reduced glare and increased clarity, particularly in bright or outdoor conditions. This product, which aims to minimise reflections and shield screens from scratches and smudges, is priced at AUD $29.95 and NZD $34.95. The protector comes with an applicator designed to assist with aligned and bubble-free installation.

Addressing concerns related to eye strain during prolonged gaming sessions, the TemperedGlass Blue Light Screen Protector is designed to filter out blue light while maintaining display clarity and durability. This screen protector is also priced at AUD $29.95 and NZD $34.95 and includes an applicator for straightforward installation.

The wider accessory lineup is rounded out by the inclusion of a USB-C cable, a 20,000mAh power bank with 30W output, and a 65W wall charger. These products are designed to cater to gamers who require high-capacity and fast-charging options suitable for mobile gaming environments.

All products in the new gaming accessories portfolio have been developed in line with Belkin's stated focus on in-house engineering, durability, and what the company describes as "timeless design."

This expansion into gaming accessories represents a strategic diversification for Belkin, with the company referencing its 40-year history in consumer electronics and building on its experience in the power, connectivity, and device protection sectors.
