Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Discounted At Amazon, But Probably Not For Long
The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is on sale for $63 at Amazon, and we wouldn't be surprised to see this sell out rather quickly. Though a 10% discount probably sounds small (retail price is $70), it's exceedingly rare to find the controller for less than its MSRP at a major retailer. The Pro Controller is even resistant to discounts during big sales events like Black Friday and Prime Day. Joy-Con controllers are similarly averse to sales, but right now you can get red and blue Joy-Con bundle with Super Mario Party for only $79 at Walmart. It's quite the day for Nintendo controller offers.
The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller released alongside the console in 2017, but it's still one of the best controllers on the market. It ticks all the right boxes for its design, which features an attractive translucent shell that shows off the internal hardware, an absurdly strong battery life, and a wonderfully ergonomic design that makes this feel like a premium extra for your Switch.
It also supports near-field communication for Nintendo Amiibo figures, offers HD rumble, and has built-in motion controls. Even if you don't have a Switch, this controller will work great on PC, Mac, Steam Deck, and mobile devices via Bluetooth or with the included USB-C cable.
