Ars Staff –
It’s time for another Dealmaster! Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a new low price on 8BitDo’s Pro 2 gamepad, which is down to $42.50 at Amazon. If you prefer to shop elsewhere, it’s also available for 50 cents more at Best Buy. The wireless gamepad normally retails for $50, so this isn’t a massive discount, but it’s the best price we’ve tracked.
The Pro 2 doesn’t work with PlayStation or Xbox consoles. On the Switch, it lacks conveniences like an NFC reader for Amiibo support and the ability to wake the console from sleep mode. The Switch Pro Controller also gets better battery life, lasting about 40 hours compared to Pro 2’s 20, though the latter isn’t poor by any means. Still, if you’d like a feature-rich controller you’ll use across platforms, the Pro 2 is a strong choice, and this deal price only amplifies its value.
Beyond that, we also have good deals on Apple’s newest iPad Air, recommended Bluetooth speakers and charging gear from Anker, the popular card-drafting board game 7 Wonders, our 2021 video game of the year, and much more. You can have a look at our full curated rundown below.
