If you’re in the market for a new gaming controller, this is a good week to get one (or more). With Prime Day Round 2 (Big Deal Days) running from October 10th to 11th, Amazon is sure to have lots of great deals on controllers for Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. In fact, thanks to competing retailers and Amazon’s tendency to offer deals early and keep up with the competition, there are already a number of notable controller deals up for grabs. We’ve rounded up the best Prime Day Round 2 controller deals. We’ll update this roundup with more offers throughout the week.
On Switch, you’ll find deals on a wide range of traditional controllers (both wireless and wired), as well as deals on dedicated handheld controllers, like the Tears of the Kingdom-themed Hori Split Pad Pro, which is on sale for the first time.
Xbox and PC users can take advantage of big discounts on Microsoft’s high-end Elite Series 2 and Elite Series 2 Core controllers. Alternatively, you can opt for the standard Xbox wireless controller, which is up to $20 cheaper. And if you’re interested in an arcade or fight stick, don’t miss this huge discount on 8BitDo’s new wireless arcade stick for Xbox and PC.
Quick Look: The best game controller deals from Prime Day Round 2
Many of the controllers on this list work on PCs and mobile devices. As for PS5 controller deals, we’ll have to wait and see if any DualSense discounts pop up throughout the week. PlayStation 5 users are severely limited when it comes to controller choices, so we’ll also be on the lookout for discounts on third-party pro-style controllers.
