Black Friday is almost here with all the inevitability of Thanos. Another fact of life that’s almost as unavoidable as a large purple dude snapping half of existence into oblivion is that the official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller almost never goes on sale.
It’s an excellent gamepad, and our pick as the best Switch controller overall here at Tom’s Guide. At time of writing, though, it’s still stubbornly stuck at its default price tag of $70 on Amazon. Things aren’t any better for British Nintendo fans either, with the brilliant pad costing its normal £50 on Amazon UK.
Yet all hope is not lost. If you can make your peace with not getting a discount on the official Nintendo peripheral, there are a number of fantastic third-party controllers to pair with the handheld hybrid. Here are five great alternative Switch Pro Controller Black Friday deals, spanning both US and UK offers. Below, you’ll find a small selection of controllers that are mostly cheaper than the official version, while still offering additional features at a lower price point.
