The internal design of the Joy-Con controller has gone virtually unchanged since they first debuted in 2017 alongside the Switch. Internally, they contain easy-to-use motion controls and HD rumble--advanced haptic feedback functions--and they work brilliantly as controllers for social games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or upcoming titles like WarioWare: Move It.

Depending on what game you're playing, you can have a Joy-Con in each hand for some extra motion-control immersion, or you can use its gyroscopic features in more novel experiences like Ring Fit Adventure and Switch Sports. If you're looking for something a little more affordable and traditional, there are a few other specials available right now as well.

Walmart has the ergonomically fantastic Hori Split Pad Compact on sale for $42, which provides a full-size controller experience in handheld mode.

Meanwhile, the 8BitDo Ultimate on Amazon is 10% off and offers a suite of awesome features for a bargain price. The Ultimate has a pair of built-in back buttons and a high level of customization through its dedicated app. It also comes with a useful charging dock, is compatible with PC/mobile, supports Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless, and has a strong battery life.
