Whether you’ve upgraded to the Nintendo Switch 2 or you’re still on the original Nintendo Switch, you should consider adding the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to your arsenal, especially since it’s on sale from Walmart. Originally $79, the accessory is down to just $45 following a $34 discount, but we’re not sure for how much longer. If you want to take advantage of this offer, you have to push forward with your purchase right now.

Why you should buy the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is still one of the best Nintendo Switch controllers that you can buy, even with the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller. The newer version offers an audio jack, back buttons, and the C button, but if you’re willing to skip them for a lower price, the original model remains an excellent purchase. It can still be paired with the Nintendo Switch 2, and you can even connect a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to a PC.

While the versatility and uniqueness of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons can’t be replaced, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is preferred by some gamers when playing the best Nintendo Switch games in docked mode. With its two analog sticks, a more traditional directional pad, large face buttons, and responsive bumpers and triggers, the controller provides an experience that’s more in line with other current-generation consoles. The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller supports motion controls and HD rumble for the titles that offer these features, and it has a long-lasting battery that can be recharged through its USB-C port.

On the hunt for Nintendo Switch deals beyond the console? You may want to set your sights on the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, as it’s available with a $34 discount from Walmart that slashes its price from $79 to a more affordable $45. There’s a chance that the savings are gone as soon as tomorrow though, so you shouldn’t be wasting ay more time. Add the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to your cart and finish the checkout process immediately to get it for a much lower price.

Gaming controllers have come a long way, but let’s be honest, they haven’t changed that much at all.
