There are plenty of controller grips to choose from when playing Switch in handheld mode, but few are as popular as the Nitro Deck+. The handheld controller is an upgraded version of the original Nitro Deck--and while it’s normally quite expensive at $70, you can pick it up for $55 during Prime Big Deal Days. That’s the lowest price ever for the handheld controller--so consider making the upgrade while you can.

$55 (was $70)

The big difference between this and the original Nitro Deck is the new symmetrical analog stick layout, which should make it more comfortable to use during extended play sessions. It also benefits from new Sidekick buttons. These are located on the side of the device near both analog sticks and are fully programmable--giving you more customization options than the old Nitro Deck.

Aside from those upgrades, the Nitro Deck+ offers everything that made the original so great. This includes Hall Effect sticks that are drift resistant, four mappable back buttons, adjustable trigger sensitivity, and a low latency USB-C connection.

If you don’t mind spending a bit more cash, you’ll find the Nitro Deck+ (Clear White Edition) with HDMI Adapter for $64 (was $80). This allows you to connect the device directly to your TV.

For an affordable alternative, the original Nitro Deck is also on sale for just $40 (was $60). So if you don’t mind the lack of Sidekick buttons and an asymmetrical stick layout, it’s definitely worth a closer look.

Regardless of which you pick, consider pairing your grips with the CRKD Gear Bag. It’s built with an adjustable strap for comfort and a water-resistant shell to better protect your electronics--and it’s discounted to its lowest price ever for Prime Big Deal Days.

Keep in mind that all of these discounts will likely disappear when Amazon’s event ends on Wednesday night, so head over to the retail giant and cash in while you can.
