One of the best third-party game controllers is on sale this Prime Day

Lots of awesome tech and games are on sale this Amazon Prime Day. That includes the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller, one of the best third-party game controller options for you to pick if you're looking for an alternate controller for your Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck.
Normally priced at $70, the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller with Charging Dock is discounted by 20% to $56 as part of a Day 2 Lighting Deal. This place it under the standard asking price of most traditional gaming controllers, especially the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons, which retail for $80. For Nintendo Switch players with their system updates fully up-to-date, the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller is an even better get than a regular Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, especially at this price.
All the buttons and d-pad feel good to use, while Hall Effect sensing joysticks allow for smoother-feeling, more precise control than even the sticks typically on Nintendo's controllers (it even supports gyroscopic motion controls). There are even two additional back buttons that aren't present on Joy-Cons or Switch Pro Controllers. The 8BitDo Ultimate Controller offers a lot of button mapping customization as well, as one can reassign button functionality, adjust the sensitivity ranges of the triggers, change vibration levels, and even enable "macros" that can condense long input sequences into single button presses.
It also comes with a charging dock, so you don't have to worry about using batteries on it. Overall, the 8BitDo offers pretty much anything one would want from a third-party controller. While it's not tailored to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S use yet, it's still an amazing option for Nintendo Switch players and works for Steam Deck users who want to use a more traditional controller as well.
It's worth the investment at full price, so that makes it quite a steal for just $56 this Prime Day. If you're in the market for a new controller to use with your Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck, the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller is a must-buy.

Walmart is trying to steal the attention of gamers from Amazon's Prime Day deals with this offer for the Microsoft Xbox Series S with an extra wireless controller. For Walmart+ Week, the bundle is available for just $290, following a 19% discount on its original price of $360. That's $70 in savings that you can spend on more video games and accessories, but you'll need to push through with the purchase right now if you want it because there's a chance that stocks don't last until the end of the day.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Xbox Series S with extra wireless controller
Microsoft's lineup of current-generation consoles consists of the Xbox Series X and its less powerful but cheaper brother, the Xbox Series S. In our Xbox Series X versus Xbox Series S comparison, while the Xbox Series X is the winner due to its superior hardware and the presence of a disc drive, you'll want to go for the Xbox Series S if you want a console that's smaller, with a more elegant design compared to the towering presence of the Xbox Series X. Additionally, going for the cheaper Xbox Series S won't prevent you from playing all of the best Xbox Series X games -- in fact, you can also play the best Xbox One games, as well as some titles from the Xbox 360 and Xbox, due to Microsoft's focus on backward compatibility.

The DualSense wireless controller that arrives with your PS5 is by no means an inferior gaming product. However, it does fall short for players who want to do a little more with their control methods.

Sony has acknowledged some shortcomings with its release of the new DualSense Edge, as well as the upcoming project Leonardo that caters to gamers with disabilities, but there are some third-party options that can fit your needs just as well.
