Pick it up for 25 percent off right now.
Update, September 17, 9:35AM ET: This deal has ended on the green model but is still available on lilac purple. Furthermore, additional early October Prime Day deals are now available alongside the official announcement of Amazon's autumn sale event.
The temperature will soon be dropping and that means we have more excuses to stay inside and dig into the games we love. If you're a computer gamer looking to upgrade your setup in anticipation, then now might just be the time to do it. Currently, 8Bitdo's Ultimate C Wired Controller is available for $15, down from $20 — a 25 percent discount. The sale brings this controller to a new all-time low price, a dollar less than it was on Prime Day.
You can get the marked-down 8Bitdo Ultimate C Wired Controller in Lilac Purple (Field Green, pictured, has since returned to full price). The controller is compatible with Steam Deck, Windows and Android, though the rumble vibrations only work on Windows. It also has a plug-and-play for a PC with a USB cord attached.
If you can't be bothered with a wired controller, check out 8Bitdo's Ultimate C Wireless model. Right now, it's full price at $30 but has dropped to $25 in the past. It runs up to 25 hours on a charge and connects to your device through a 2.4GHz USB dongle.
