If you find it uncomfortable to play Switch in handheld mode with the standard Joy-Con, it might be time to upgrade your setup. There are plenty of great options to choose from, but right now few are as enticing as the NexiGo Hall Effect Gripcon. Amazon is currently discounting the handheld grip to its lowest price ever, giving you a chance to score the gadget for just $42 (down from $70).
The big selling point of the NexiGo Gripcon is its Hall Effect sticks. These are drift-resistant components that won’t succumb to the dreaded drift like the standard Joy-Con. It also features haptic-feedback motors, a six-axis gyroscope, and the ability to pick from three different joystick heights. Toss in four configurable back buttons, and this is a surprisingly well-rounded handheld controller for $42.

While the black version of the NexiGo GripCon is seeing the best discount, you’ll also find the flashy Cosmic Nebula edition and the Red & Blue edition for $50 each (down from $70).
Its price cut isn’t as generous, but the popular Nitro Deck is also on sale at Amazon. All five colors are getting a $5 price cut, bringing them down to $45. And because the Nitro Deck has rarely seen discounts this year, this matches its best price ever.
Like the NexiGo GripCon, it features Hall Effect sticks for drift resistance, gyroscope support, and remappable back buttons. You’ll also find a built-in kickstand, allowing you to play in tabletop mode or relax and stream YouTube videos.
Most of these price cuts are listed as “limited-time deals,” so there’s a good chance they’ll disappear soon. If you’re interested in either the Nitro Deck or NexiGo Gripcon, consider checking out these discounts while you can.
