"My Switch 2 console was misplaced. A device costing around $30 is now preventing future loss of the game console."

In the world of gaming consoles, the Nintendo Switch 2 has undeniably made a significant impact. With its portability and a host of optimised games, it's no wonder that many gamers, including the speaker, find it more appealing than other consoles like the Xbox Series X. However, its compact design also makes it easy to misplace.

Enter the Nomad Tracking Card, a $30 gadget that could be a game-changer for Nintendo Switch 2 users. This slim device, designed to be as thin as two credit cards, can be recharged with MagSafe charging and ties into Apple’s Find My network, alongside AirTags, other accessories, and Apple devices.

The Nomad Tracking Card is an ideal solution for those who frequently carry their Nintendo Switch 2 everywhere. The speaker, for instance, has lost their Switch 2 on a flight and found the experience quite harrowing. To prevent such incidents in the future, the Nomad Tracking Card seems to be the speaker's preferred choice.

Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch 2 lacks a built-in GPS, and Nintendo itself does not offer any tracking service for lost or stolen consoles. While the company can disable a stolen device to prevent unauthorised use, locating it remains a challenge. This is where external Bluetooth tracking accessories, such as the Nomad Tracking Card, come into play. These devices leverage networks like Apple’s Find My network to show the last known location of your Switch 2 when it comes into contact with compatible devices nearby.

However, it's important to note that these trackers can be removed if someone steals your console. Nevertheless, they are currently the best available method to track your Switch 2’s location indirectly.

The Nomad Tracking Card fits perfectly into the internal accessory/game card holder of the official Nintendo Switch 2 All-in-One Carrying Case. Unfortunately, the PowerA Slim Case for the Nintendo Switch 2 lacks a compartment to hold the Nomad Tracking Card.

In conclusion, the Nomad Tracking Card offers a practical solution to mitigate the risk of permanent loss for Nintendo Switch 2 users. While it might not provide real-time tracking, it can help you find the last known location of your lost console, offering a peace of mind to those who value their gaming gadgets.
