The Switch console is solely based in the tablet. Everything else operates in tandem with the device. The Dock serves as a means to connect the tablet to a television, as well as charging it and any attached controllers. The console itself has 32 Gigabytes of on-system storage and has a slot for optional microSD card memory expansion of up to 2 Terabytes. The console is capable of 720p output in tablet and tabletop mode with adaptive resolution, and can go as high as 1080p while docked. Some developers have chosen to lock the resolution at 1080p in docked mode, which can occasionally cause performance issues.

The [[Joy-Con]] controllers are wireless, bluetooth-based and the right Joycon is equipped with an infrared camera on the bottom which allows gyroscopic data (among other things) to be surveyed to the Switch, allowing for Wiimote-like motion controls in various games. The Joy-Cons can be used in tandem with eachother in various ways. They can be equipped to a grip to make a whole controller, be held separately, or can be held horizontally and played as their own controllers. Additionally, a more traditional controller, called the "Pro Controller" is also available, which also has built-in gyroscopic controls. All controllers feature '''HD Rumble''', an advanced form of {{s|wikipedia|haptic feedback}} that enables the system to replicate every single tap and sensation in game, with much more realism and efficiency than traditional haptic motors.
