Anker’s 9-in-1 charging station with 100W USB-C

Though not the newest Ultimate 2 controller in the brand’s lineup, this is a capable gamepad that is compatible with a variety of platforms, including the Switch 2, PC, and even some handhelds like Steam Deck. It offers tri-mode connectivity via Bluetooth, a 2.4g dongle, and a USB-C cable, and it features durable Hall effect sticks, support for motion controls, and a couple of back buttons. What’s also good about this controller is that it comes with a charging dock to keep your gamepad topped up at all times, and you get a color-matched unit depending on whether you buy a black or white one. Other highlights of the 8Bitdo Ultimate controller include full compatibility with the brand’s Ultimate Software V2, up to 22 hours with 2 to 3 hours of charging, and more.

The 2nd-gen Backbone One USB-C controller is also discounted to $70 if you’re looking for a controller grip for your smartphone. This Type-C model is compatible with both iPhones and Android phones, and it’s down from its usual price of $100.
