Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller for $77.03
Nintendo recently raised the price of the new Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller from $85 to $90, but here’s an opportunity to get one for less than either price.

All Switch hardware (including the Pro 2 controller) is region unlocked, meaning you can use the controller with any US-based Nintendo Switch console without any additional steps. The only caveat is that imported peripherals don’t come with a Nintendo warranty however AliExpress does offer a 15-day free return window.
