8BitDo Ultimate Wired Controller

$22.30 (was $35)

　　The wireless version of the 8BitDo Ultimate was named the best alternative to the Switch Pro controller in our roundup. This wired version includes basically the same design as the $70 gamepad, including two back paddle buttons and an ergonomic design that’s perfect for extended play sessions. It's compatible with other platforms, including PC, Android, and Steam Deck.

　　This new price is one of the lowest we’ve seen all year, so be sure to check out the deal while it lasts. Keep in mind that only the white variant is on sale--opting for the black variant will still cost you $35.

　　If you decide to use the controller on PC, you’ll benefit from support for 8BitDo’s Ultimate Software, allowing you to customize the gamepad’s performance. You’ll also find adjustable vibration settings, adjustable hair triggers, and a turbo function.

　　Not sold on the wired version of the Ultimate? Right now, you can find the white wireless version with charging dock for a 5% discount and the black model for a 10% discount.
