Best Nintendo Switch controller Black Friday deal brings $11 discount

Nintendo Switch doesn’t offer deals often, so we’re happy to announce a Nintendo Switch Controller Black Friday Deal. Nintendo Switch controllers are usually $80, and this deal puts them at $69 for a savings of $11. While this isn’t the most considerable discount we’ve ever seen, it is huge for Nintendo because it’s difficult to even get your hands on actual Nintendo Switch products these days, which makes this one of the best Black Friday gaming deals still available. And with the holidays fast approaching and the best Black Friday deals starting to wrap up, you’re not going to want to wait on this one since we don’t know how long supplies will last.

Why Buy:

  • Compatible with Nintendo Switch gaming console
  • Can be used independently or as a traditional controller
  • Includes gyroscope and accelerometer for motion controls
  • Battery-powered and rechargeable

The Nintendo Joy-Con is a revolutionary way to play — the controllers make new kinds of gaming possible with the Nintendo Switch. Two Joy-Cons can be used independently, with one in each hand or together as one controller when attached to the Joy-Con grip. The Joy-Cons also connect to the main console for use in handheld mode, or you can share them with friends and enjoy two-player mode since each Joy-Con has a full set of buttons and can act as a standalone controller.

Each controller also features an accelerometer and gyro-sensor, which makes independent left and right motion control possible. You can use Joy-Cons from almost anywhere in the room without cords which really opens up gaming possibilities. The controllers are battery-powered and rechargeable, allowing for tangle-free operation and uninterrupted gaming sessions.

Should you shop this Nintendo Switch controller Black Friday deal or wait until Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday tends to feature the best deals from Black Friday, but there is no promise that you will find the exact same products on Cyber Monday. Sometimes supplies run short, and the deal you were holding out for never comes to be. This could be especially true with Nintendo Switch deals since we’ve seen shortages of products from them all year. When shopping Black Friday deals, your best bet is to grab the items you want when you find them on sale. If you find the same product at a better price on Cyber Monday, you can always return the one you just received or cancel the order.

Best Cyber Monday power tool deals: DeWalt, Milwaukee, and more

A basic set of power tools is a necessity for every household, because you never know when you'll need any of them. If you don't have one yet, or if you want to upgrade from a rusty set, you should take a look at the ongoing Cyber Monday deals for bargains. To help you out, we've rounded up our favorite deals below.

One thing to note is that many of the tools below require rechargeable batteries to join. But getting rechargeable AA and AAA batteries won't help you here, instead we're looking at (typically) 20V batteries made by each brand for their tools. And that's why we're looking at these power tools on a brand by brand basis, because the more batteries you collect the more convenient the brand's tools become. In much the same way that iPhone users benefit from the synergy of more Apple devices, you will benefit from more tools from a given brand.

The TP-Link Tapo Mini is one of the most affordable options for smart plugs in the market, but it doesn't sacrifice features to keep its cost low. Once it's set up, you can create schedules and timers for the electronic devices that are plugged into it, or turn them on or off manually through the Tapo app. You can also use voice commands for these functions, as the smart plug is compatible with smart home platforms such as Google Home, Apple Home, Amazon's Alexa, and Samsung's SmartThings, and the digital assistants that are associated with each of them. You'll get all of these features for a very low price of $10 for Black Friday, following a $10 discount from Best Buy on the TP-Link Tapo Mini's original price of $20.
