Nintendoโs first-party Switch 2 Pro Controller canโt be beaten when it comes to its breadth of features and comfort. But at $89.99, letโs be real, itโs way too expensive for most people. Thankfully, a controller Iโve been testing recently, which is nearly as good despite lacking a 3.5mm audio jack, is currently on sale for $40 less. The EasySMX S10, as itโs called, is available for $50.39 from EasySMX with code GETS10.
The S10 is comfortable to use for long gaming sessions, and it has features that arenโt commonly built into third-party gamepads, including amiibo support and rumble that feels like itโs in the same ballpark as Nintendoโs HD rumble. It can also remotely wake the Nintendo Switch 2, not just the original Switch, from standby.
The S10 would be easier to recommend than Nintendoโs Switch 2 Pro Controller even if they were the same price, since EasySMXโs model features accurate, power-efficient TMR joysticks, plus some satisfyingly clicky buttons and triggers (note: these are divisive, you might not like them as much as I do). But at $40 less, you donโt need to feel bad about getting this instead of Nintendoโs official gamepad. Take that leftover money and treat yourself to something nice instead.
If youโre an Android user looking for an unobtrusive Bluetooth tracker for your wallet, Ugreen just launched the FineTrack Slim Smart G. Itโs just 1.7mm thick (approximately the thickness of two credit cards), letting it to sit next to your other cards without sticking out, and its built-in battery can last for up to five years. For its launch, Ugreen has knocked $2 off the $25.99 tracker, dropping it to $23.99 at Amazon.
The downside is that it canโt be charged, so youโll need to dispose of it and buy a new tracker once those five years are up. That stinks, but its specs mean it should provide a pretty good five years of service. It features a built-in 80db alarm to help you find it via Googleโs Find Hub network, after all, along with IP68 protection against dust and water. Just keep in mind that, if itโs submerged, you wonโt be able to track it.
Now through October 5th, OnePlus has a few back-to-college deals up its sleeve that everyone can enjoy, whether youโre a student or not. The one that caught my eye is the 43mm OnePlus Watch 3, which is available for $269.99 ($30 off) from Amazon and OnePlus (with coupon code HARVEST). The Wear OS 5-equipped smartwatch has gone on sale before, but after a nearly month-long period when it wasnโt discounted, itโs returned to its second-best price to date.
If youโre shopping for an Android watch, we recommend including OnePlusโ latest wearable on your shortlist. Outside of Samsungโs recent Galaxy Watch 8 series, the OnePlus Watch 3 is one of the newest models available. It offers a better value than its predecessor, the OnePlus Watch 2, with updated software, a rotating crown, an enhanced GPS antenna, and a suite of new health features.
