SAVE $10.99: The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is the preferred Switch controller for many, and as of June 8 it's $10.99 off at Amazon ahead of Prime Day.


The Nintendo Switch is an undeniably fantastic handheld gaming device, but many would agree that the console's included Joy-Con remotes are undeniably not as fantastic. To be honest, they're kind of small and end up cramping your hands after a few hours of use. But luckily, Nintendo makes a controller that's way better: the Pro Controller.

Ahead of Prime Day, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is on sale — you can save $10.99 when you pick one up at Amazon (they aren't in stock at the moment, but they will be soon, and you can lock in the cheaper price if you get one as soon as possible).

The totally wireless Nintendo Switch Pro Controller evokes the style of more traditional controllers — one that you'll be familiar with if you also have a PlayStation or Xbox. It includes everything you get in the Joy-Con like motion controls and HD rumble, but with an added amiibo functionality and a more ergonomic design. Plus, no Joy-Con drift. It's 100% proven to make you better at Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, too. (Well, maybe that part isn't true.)

They aren't in stock yet, but you can still lock in the discounted price if you pick one up now — grab a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller at Amazon and save $10.99.
