But at $89.99, let\u2019s be real, it\u2019s way too expensive for most people. Thankfully, a controller I\u2019ve been testing recently, which is nearly as good despite lacking a 3.5mm audio jack, is currently on sale for $40 less. The <strong>EasySMX S10<\/strong>, as it\u2019s called, is available for $50.39 from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easysmx.com\/products\/easysmx-s10-gaming-controller-for-switch-2-tmr-sticks-hd-rumble-motion-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EasySMX<\/a> with code <strong>GETS10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The S10 is comfortable to use for long gaming sessions, and it has features that aren\u2019t commonly built into third-party gamepads, including amiibo support and rumble that feels like it\u2019s in the same ballpark as Nintendo\u2019s HD rumble. It can also remotely wake the Nintendo Switch 2, not just the original Switch, from standby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The S10 would be easier to recommend than Nintendo\u2019s Switch 2 Pro Controller even if they were the same price, since EasySMX\u2019s 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 don\u2019t need to feel bad about getting this instead of Nintendo\u2019s official gamepad. Take that leftover money and treat yourself to something nice instead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>EasySMX S10 Gaming Controller for Switch 2<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/easysmx.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amazon.com\/Controller-Anti-Drift-Mechanical-Bluetooth-Gaming-Console\/dp\/B0FM7Z4D7D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> $59.99 at <strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easysmx.com\/products\/easysmx-s10-gaming-controller-for-switch-2-tmr-sticks-hd-rumble-motion-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$59.99<\/strike> $50.39 at <strong>EasySMX (with code GETS10)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If you\u2019re an Android user looking for an unobtrusive Bluetooth tracker for your wallet, Ugreen just launched the <strong>FineTrack Slim Smart G<\/strong>. It\u2019s 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/UGREEN-FineTrack-Bluetooth-Waterproof-Ultra-Slim\/dp\/B0FBWBDB1Q\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The downside is that it can\u2019t be charged, so you\u2019ll 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 Google\u2019s Find Hub network, after all, along with IP68 protection against dust and water. Just keep in mind that, if it\u2019s submerged, you won\u2019t be able to track it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Ugreen FineTrack Slim Smart G Bluetooth tracker<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/ugreen.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/UGREEN-FineTrack-Bluetooth-Waterproof-Ultra-Slim\/dp\/B0FBWBDB1Q\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$25.99<\/strike> $23.99 at <strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Now through October 5th, OnePlus has a few back-to-college deals up its sleeve that everyone can enjoy, whether you\u2019re a student or not.
