However, if you\u2019re trying to get your hands on a new Switch 2 controller sooner rather than later, we\u2019re seeing solid deals on some of our favorite third-party options. Besides being more colorful, these controllers come in various shapes and sizes, potentially offering an even better fit for your hands than Nintendo&#8217;s own peripherals. <\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\"><strong>Switch 2 Controllers on Sale for October Prime Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Note: <\/strong>Most of these deals are exclusive to Prime members (you can sign up for that <strong>here<\/strong>) and <strong>end tonight<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">A strange theme across the sale is unique editions hitting lower prices than base models. Those editions add up to a solid spread of options that have dropped under $30. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Turtle Beach released its first wireless controller for Switch 2 back in and has been unloading its franchise tie-ins on the market ever since. While there\u2019s a slight discount on the original black model, the best possible deals are on the more colorful Mario editions. Of course, if you\u2019re looking for some RGB, look no further than the PDP Afterglow. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019re seeing a similar trend with another one of our top picks, PowerA&#8217;s Advantage controller. Right now, the Pokemon Mega Evolutions colorway is almost $10 cheaper than the standard black wireless model. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">PowerA Advantage Wireless Switch 2 controller<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"The PowerA Advantage Wireless Switch 2 Controller\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If you are into the sleeker black style, you\u2019re looking at some more expensive but also more premium options. The main one is 8BitDo\u2019s Ultimate 2 controller. Amazon\u2019s deal is on the upgraded second generation edition, but we got the chance to review the original launch model, saying its \u201cgrip feels almost identical to that on modern Xbox controllers. The bumpers and the analog triggers also feel much better than the Pro 2&#8217;s, which felt a bit mushy and cheap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For the closest match to Nintendo\u2019s own Pro controller, I\u2019d recommend NYXI\u2019s Hyperion 3. This is a fully dedicated Switch 2 controller, meaning it takes advantage of new features like the upgraded Rumble effect with things like adjustable vibration and dual back buttons. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Last but not least, leaning a little bit further into the third-party of it all, we\u2019re seeing a $10 price cut on Kuitmor\u2019s Sanrio controller. Yes, I included this because it&#8217;s Hello Kitty and adorable, but it also has some solid reviews. <\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\"><strong>Prime Big Deals Day End Tonight<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Today is the last chance for Prime members to grab deals in Amazon\u2019s October sale. While we haven\u2019t seen any fresh discounts on the full Switch 2 console, there are plenty more Nintendo deals in the mix, including Switch 2 games. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img alt=\"Blythe Dujardin Avatar\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/avatars\/66327e90ab9f50001d8194e3\/IMG_2409-1722887879023.jpeg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/avatars\/66327e90ab9f50001d8194e3\/IMG_2409-1722887879023.jpeg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Blythe (she\/her) is an Audience Development Coordinator at IGN who spends way too much time in character customization screens and tracking down collectibles. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/section>\n<p><\/output><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/nintendo-switch-2-controller-deals-october-prime-day-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon\u2019s October Prime sale has reached its final day, and there\u2019s been a surprising amount of treats for Nintendo fans.
