US Switch 2 controller deals
UK Switch 2 controller deals
The Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the best game consoles out there. It’s a fantastic hybrid as it lets you play your favorite games in handheld mode or on a screen. I, much like many others, love playing Mario Kart World on it. But I’ll be honest: I still don’t like the new Joy-Cons. Don’t get me wrong, they’re very versatile and cool, but I hate the fact that they are still prone to stick drift (as they don’t utilize Hall Effect sensors).
But it’s okay if they aren’t perfect, as you can always grab a third-party controller and a lot of the times, these gamepads cost much less than a new pair of Joy-Cons or the first-party Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller. I’ve tested many Switch 2 controllers and if you’re on the hunt for one, you’re in luck as my three favorites are currently discounted at Amazon.
I awarded the GameSir Super Nova 4.5 stars for its responsive Hall Effect thumbsticks (which even the Pro Controller doesn’t feature), and it’s currently down to $49 at Amazon. If you want TMR sensors instead — they allow for every minute adjustments in gameplay — I recommend the GameSir Cyclone 2 which is currently available for $50 at Amazon U.S. and £47 at Amazon U.K.
These deals won’t last forever though, so grab these controllers while you can!

The GameSir Cyclone 2 is one of the cheapest ways to elevate your gaming experience.

4-star ratingTurtle Beach Rematch Wireless: was $59 now $54 at Amazon
As budget controllers go, the Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless is a fantastic gamepad for the Nintendo Switch family. Featuring analog thumbsticks and triggers that are highly responsive and motion controls, not only does the Rematch Wireless make games feel more immersive, but it’s extremely comfortable, too. There are also two rear buttons that can be remapped on the fly.

4.5-star ratingGameSir Super Nova: £49 at Amazon
The GameSir Super Nova is one of the cheapest controllers featuring Hall Effect triggers and thumbsticks, both of which give you an edge in gaming. Sadly, it’s not reduced at Amazon in the U.K. at time of writing, but it still makes for an excellent controller purchase. And it comes with a charging dock.

As budget controllers go, the Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless is a fantastic gamepad for the Nintendo Switch family. Like the Super Nova, it’s also not currently reduced in the U.K. but that hardly matters when the package is this good. Featuring analog thumbsticks and triggers that are highly responsive and motion controls, not only does the Rematch Wireless make games feel more immersive, but it’s extremely comfortable, too.
