The official 8Bitdo Amazon storefront is now offering its Sn30 Pro USB Wired Gamepad $19.99 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $25. Regularly $30, this is a solid 33% price drop below the going rate and the lowest price we can find. Today’s deal also comes in at $3 under our previous mention for the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon since release outside of a couple fleeting Lightning deals at $20. The beloved third-party controller brand is revered for a reason – vintage Nintendo vibes (look no further than the new NES-style mechanical keyboard), durable D-pads, and built-in rumble vibration, among other things. This Sn30 brings that classic North American Super Nintendo look to your Switch, Windows, and Raspberry Pi setups, complete with dual joysticks, shoulder triggers, a D-pad, four face buttons, customizable turbo functionality on Windows setups, and the aforementioned built-in vibration experience. More details below.
While we normally gravitate towards the officially licensed wired PowerA Switch gamepads when it comes to a more affordable alternatives, that’s not going to be happening today with a price like this on the SNES-style 8Bitdo model. You can score the PowerA option for a couple cents less, but I wouldn’t recommend that unless you must have the asymmetrical joysticks.
Do yourself a favor and go dive into our coverage of the new NES-style mechanical keyboard and its giant Super Buttons we mentioned above. And while we are talking Nintendo, here’s all of the latest from the Mushroom Kingdom to catch up on:
