Top Deals: Switch 2 Controllers & OnePlus Watch 3

Finding the right gear for your gaming and tech lifestyle doesn’t have to drain your wallet. Savvy shoppers know that timing and knowing where to look can unlock significant savings on high-quality electronics. This week brings a fresh batch of discounts on everything from a surprisingly capable Nintendo Switch 2 controller alternative to a sleek new smartwatch.

For those who find Nintendo’s official Switch 2 Pro Controller a bit too pricey at $89.99, the EasySMX S10 presents a compelling alternative. Currently available for just $50.39 with a promo code, this third-party gamepad delivers an impressive feature set. It’s comfortable for extended play and includes support for amiibo figures. Its rumble functionality approaches the quality of Nintendo’s own HD Rumble, and it can even remotely wake the Switch 2 from sleep mode. The S10 uses advanced TMR joysticks for accuracy and efficiency, and its buttons and triggers offer a distinct, clicky feel that many gamers prefer. At a savings of nearly $40, it’s a fantastic value.

Ugreen has introduced a remarkably slim Bluetooth tracker, the FineTrack Slim Smart G. Designed to slip unnoticed into a wallet, its 1.7mm profile is about as thick as two credit cards. The built-in battery is rated to last for up to five years, though it is not rechargeable, meaning the entire unit will need replacement once the battery depletes. For its launch, the tracker is discounted to $23.99. It leverages Google’s Find My Device network, features a loud 80db alarm, and carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, though tracking is disabled if it becomes submerged.

OnePlus is running a back-to-college promotion that makes the OnePlus Watch 3 an attractive buy at $269.99, a $30 discount. This smartwatch runs on Wear OS 5 and represents a solid upgrade over its predecessor with a new rotating crown, an improved GPS antenna, and expanded health tracking capabilities. For Android users considering a new wearable, it stands as one of the most current options available outside of Samsung’s latest models.

For collectors, GameStop has significantly reduced prices on a selection of amiibo figures. These Nintendo collectibles can typically cost up to $40, but several are now starting at just $5.99. This includes newer releases tied to the Switch 2 launch, such as characters from The Legend of Zelda and Street Fighter 6, which have been discounted to $15.99.

Ahead of its October Prime Day event, Amazon is offering a Prime-exclusive deal: a free three-month trial of Kindle Unlimited. This subscription service provides access to a vast library of books for a single monthly fee. The trial is free, but it will automatically convert to a paid subscription at $11.99 per month unless canceled.

Finally, for PC gamers, Humble Bundle has an exceptional collection of titles from Remedy Entertainment for $27. The bundle includes the acclaimed Alan Wake 2, Control Ultimate Edition, Quantum Break, and several classic Max Payne games. A higher tier also adds a coupon for FBC: Firebreak, a cooperative shooter set in the Control universe. This package offers a tremendous opportunity to experience a suite of critically praised games at a fraction of their individual cost.
