If you missed out on the limited Prime Day price drop, Amazon is now offering its Luna Cloud Controller down at $49.99 shipped. Regularly $70, this is nearly 30% off the going rate, matching the best price we have tracked outside of the early Prime Day offer and this summer’s brief discounts as well as being the best we can find. While this gamepad is specifically designed for Amazon’s Cloud service, which has now joined Xbox Game Pass with direct access on 2022 Samsung 4K TVs, it can also be used with other platforms and on a range of hardware including Windows PC, Mac, Fire TV, Fire tablet, iPhone, iPad, Chromebook, and Android devices over Bluetooth. You’ll find low-friction thumbsticks, four face buttons, a 4-way D-pad, textured grip, and USB-C charging. It even supports Alexa voice commands for launching games and more. Get a closer look at the Amazon Luna controller in our hands-on review and head below for more.
The Made For Amazon Phone Clip for Luna is a notable and official way to attach your mobile phone to the controller. But keep in mind you can score it with the Luna Controller right now for the same price as buying them individually, just to streamline the process a bit more.
