Kick Stand Multi-Pak for Nintendo Switch: Setup Guide

Quick Answer

The Nyko Kick Stand Multi-Pak replaces your Nintendo Switch's original kick stand with a sturdier, customizable version that also stores an extra microSD card. Installation takes seconds and requires no tools.

Setup Steps

1. Remove the original kick stand: Place your Switch face-down on a soft cloth. Gently pull the original kick stand away from the console. It snaps off with light pressure. Do not use tools or excessive force to avoid scratching the casing. If the stand feels stuck, double-check you are pulling from the hinge side, not the bottom edge.
2. Choose your color and align the replacement: Pick one of the three stands (Purple, Clear, or Black). Hold it so the microSD slot faces inward toward the console. Align the hinge tabs with the slots on the Switch back. The stand only fits one way. If it does not snap in easily, rotate it 180 degrees.
3. Snap the new stand into place: Press firmly on the center of the stand until you hear a click. The stand should sit flush with the console. Test it by gently opening and closing it a few times. A loose fit means the tabs are not fully seated. Remove and re-snap until flush.
4. Insert a microSD card (optional): With the stand open, slide a microSD card into the slot inside the stand until it clicks. To remove, push the card in slightly and release. The card stays secure even when the stand is closed. Do not force the card. If it does not slide in, check that the orientation matches the printed icon.
5. Test tabletop stability: Set your Switch on a flat surface in tabletop mode. Adjust the stand angle to your preferred viewing position. The wider base should feel more stable than the original stand. If the console wobbles, the stand may not be fully snapped. Recheck step 3 before use.
