HyperX ChargePlay Clutch – Charging Case for Nintendo Switch, USB Type-C, Joy-Con Grips, Charging Kickstand, Tabletop Mode, 6000mAh Battery, Black (HX-CPCS-U)

I found out about the HyperX ChargePlay Clutch via youtube and was fascinated by the value proposition this product offers. I myself have a launch version of the Switch meaning that portable battery life is acceptable but not ideal at 2-3 hours for me depending on the game. But rather than upgrading to the latest SKU Model of Switch, I wanted to give this a try as I've found myself playing in Portable mode more than docked these days. And after doing a bit of research and reading available reviews online I decided to take the plunge.Pros:- Very Sturdy, the build quality is nice- Ergonomic design, it's quite comfortable in the hands (*Weight aside, I'll talk about that in the cons)- Secure and Stable once attached, no wobble or anything of that nature- Extends the Switch's battery life when playing long sessions in portable mode- Versatility, Has a beefy kickstand in the back and the handles on either side of this case can be turned into a controller accessory when the joycons are attached.- LED Indicators in the back to let the user know the battery life of the case- USB-C port in a non-intrusive part of the back in order to charge the case while continuing to play (If that situation arises)- Cutouts on the case that don't block off the ventilation areas of the console on the back and top for airflow- Low profile design aside from a bit of HyperX branding which is to be expectedCons:- It makes the Switch noticeably heavier, I can't really fathom playing something where gyro controls are heavily used like in Splatoon 2 for long periods of time with this on. It's not impossible, but I'm sure it would get uncomfortable after awhile. However that's more of a nitpick and may vary from person to person. I'd rather this be a bit heavy and sturdy than flimsy and weak.- It adds a surprising amount of bulk to the Switch which can be a good or bad thing depending on the person. This can be a negative in that if you already have a case, more than likely this won't allow you to fit your console inside it if you wanted to carry it all together instead of the accessory and Switch separately. I'm sure there are many solutions to this, but it's worth mentioning. *Roughly the size of the Wii-U Gamepad when attached to the console.Overall I think this is a must-buy accessory aside from a screen protector and a pro controller. More so for people that game a lot in portable mode whether that be just at home or on-the-go. The extra battery life and build quality alone is worth the price of admission, though having the sturdy kickstand, LED Battery life indicator, and pseudo-controller utility is great as well. I'm excited to put this to work once Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes out.I'll update this review in a years time to let you know if any of my opinions on this product have changed.Update (3/2/21):The charge is still holding up really well, and the product itself is in really good condition. Granted I haven’t really traveled with it (not that I could given the current times). Overall I'm happy I purchased this and feel like I’ve already gotten my money’s worth from a year ago. I've already had my fill of Animal Crossing, but will definitely be using this a lot again once Monster Hunter Rise releases towards the end of this month. I’m a pretty big MH fan and will without a doubt pour countless hours into this coming title. Glad the Switch is finally getting a MH built from the ground up catered to the platform and it's hardware.

I hardly write review but I needed to on this one to give props to HyperX for creating the most comfortable grip for the switch that I've used in addition to extra battery life it provides. Solidly built with some nice features; sturdy kick stand, joycon grips come off to form a controller for table top playing, and a clip to hold the switch in place. I can get an additional 4+ hours of play time using this which is great since I do not have the updated switch model with better battery life. The whole thing adds a bit of heft to the switch, but not too much in my opinion to make it uncomfortable. I previously owned the Satisfye grip and this thing blows that one out of the water in sheer quality and comfort. Would highly recommend this charging case!

I love it. It works well. Adds 4-5 hrs of life to my old generation switch. I like the weight added (it does add a lot of weight btw) holding the switch by itself has always felt awkward to me due to the weight and slimness. The ergonomic handles really feel good in the hand (obviously not as good as an xbox or ps4 controller) but better than the feel of the switch. BUT PLEASE!!! DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE LITTLE OR MEDIUM SIZED HANDS. I have larger hands and this controller and charger feel well, but my wife has little hands and does not like it. She says it feels uncomfortable and the triggers feel off.

So I absolutely love this thing. It feels great and adds soo my time to the play. Great for road trips. Another fancy little thing, if your short on charging cords, you can dock the switch in it and charge both the switch and the grips with one cord.Honestly, the only thing I have been having issues with is finding a nice sized case that will fit both the grips with the switch inside it. I have bought several cases and none fit the way I would like and I'm not sure if Hyperx makes a case for this. I ended up using a large switch docking set case and store everything in there but I would love something like the slim case.

The handheld grips make the controllers very comfortable when detached from the switch. It’s very noticeably heavier when using handheld but the extra battery life and the charging port being moved to the back of the device make it worth getting. I don’t keep it on all the time but when it’s on it’s more comfortable using the joy-cons as a controller with the additional grips compared to the joy-con controller grip Nintendo makes.

I looked over many extended batteries and this by far is the best one. Great manufacturer which means great quality. The use of the grips on and off the unit makes it versatile as well. I like the ideas knowing that in handheld mode the weight isn’t straining the screen since the grips are magnetized and providing additional balance on the device. Great extended battery about 4.5 hour on top of the Switch’s battery. Overall great design awesome form, great kickstand, stellar grips. If you’re contemplating stop looking and get this because you’re getting the best.

I paid only $ 45 for it. I am very happy! Easy to put on and easy to take off. Extends the game time by about two times. With him my Switch of the first generation, it is excellent on the table. Yes, it makes Switch heavier and thicker, but it doesn't bother me. Earlier, I noticed that as soon as I normally plunge into the game, my Switch was discharged. Now this is no problem.

produto super de qualidade, gostei muito nota 10, sem contar que chegou muito rápido.

The case is awesome. The only thing I would say is That the battery life is not as long as it claims. It works well though and seems to be good quality. I am happy with my purchase

its so heavy its kind of insane as for the grips themselves i found them to be pretty uncomfortable and worst of all it scratched my joycons im sure the battery is fine but its so heavy for being such a small battery its only 6k mh my 20k mh battery is almost the same damn weight and i get its got all the extra plastic and other bits in it but it has no right to be so heavy scratch my switch and just be so uncomfortable to hold

The media could not be loaded. Enjoy using this. TL:DW please see mor info in the video. Suffice to say i really like this product.

Hola,Quería traeros un pequeño análisis de esta batería-carcasa para nintendo Switch por si a algún otro usuario con el mismo perfil que el mío podría interesarle.En primer lugar, comentar que el uso exclusivo que le doy a la Switch es el modo portátil y al tratarse de un modelo de 2017 ya voy notando cierta degradación de la batería. Por otro lado, como no estoy satisfecho con el rendimiento de algunos juegos en portátil, hago uso del overclocking para mejorar el rendimiento de algunos juegos, con la consiguiente menor duración de la batería.Por lo tanto, lo que me gustaría dejar claro, es que se trata de un producto más interesante cuanto más prioritario sea el uso en modo portátil, pues su precio de 65€ no lo convierten en la solución más económica para un uso esporádico.Lo primero que sorprende al encontrarnos frente a este producto es su alta calidad de acabados y materiales. Muy agradable al tacto y con una gran sensación de robustez. Plásticos de muy buena calidad y una tacto un poco más rugoso en la zona de agarre para mejorar la ergonomía. En ningún momento se nota holgura o movimiento de la consola incluso con movimientos bruscos.El producto bien muy bien presentado e incluye los siguientes elementos:- Pieza central con batería interna de 6000mAh- Piezas para los Joycons- Cable de carga USBEn cuanto al elemento central, de ajusta a la switch por medio de una pestaña que actúa como seguro y se conecta directamente a la entrada USB-C de la consola. Esta pieza central tiene la salida USB-C en la parte trasera, por lo tanto, se puede jugar en modo Tabletop mientras se carga, algo muy cómodo sinceramente.El peso de esta elemento es similar al de la propia switch pues el conjunto tendrá un peso aproximadamente del doble de la switch sola (algo a tener en cuenta). El ancho del conjunto también se duplica como se puede ver en algunas imágenes que acompañan a este análisis.El conjunto es voluminoso, pero la forma trasera de los protectores de los joycons, lo hace más ergonómico que la switch sola, por lo tanto el impacto del peso no es tan alto como cabría esperar y no me ha resultado incómodo su uso en sesiones de más de 1 hora.En el caso de tener manos muy pequeñas sí que puede resultar algo más incómodo y pesado.Una de las ventajas que tiene este producto, a parte de su calidad que por lo que he visto en otros fabricantes no hay nada que lo iguale, es la opción de unir las dos piezas laterales y formar un mando para el modo tabletop. Este mando es más cómodo que el que incluye la propia switch. Las piezas laterales se unen entre sí por un potente imán y proporciona un agarre muy cómodo y seguro.Siguiendo con el análisis de las distintas características. La batería incluye un soporte muy robusto que supone una gran mejora para el modo tabletop en comparación con la pequeña patilla de serie que lleva la consola. La bisagra es metálica y no parece que pueda romperse o degradarse con un uso normal del producto.En cuanto a su funcionamiento, dispone de un botón en su parte trasera para iniciar la carga de la consola. Con una carga de la batería tendremos para carga y media de la consola, aproximadamente 5 horas extras de duración. Mientras jugamos, si tenemos cargando el conjunto, en primer lugar se completará la carga de la consola y a continuación comenzará la de la batería.En mi caso haciendo uso de overclock consigo sacar duraciones de 5 horas totales (consola + Batería) para juegos como Bioshock Infinite. Al final era lo que buscaba, jugar a portátil con la mayor resolución y framerate posible, sin sacrificar la duración de la batería. De algún modo consigo la Switch Pro que buscaba a la espera de que Nintendo saque dicho modelo.La parte negativa es la pérdida de algo de portabilidad por el peso y el volumen del conjunto, compensado por la mejor ergonomía.Otro aspecto negativo es que el puerto USB-C del cargador pierde algunas funcionalidades con respecto al que incluye la consola como puede ser conectar mandos por cable.Espero que este pequeño análisis pueda ser de ayuda a algún posible comprador.
