Controller manufacturer GameSir rarely misses when it comes to quality Nintendo Switch hardware, and one of its latest creations, the GameSir Nova, is no exception.
Just ahead of the upcoming Memorial Day sales, you can pick up the GameSir Nova controller for just$30.77atAmazon, so long as you check the coupon box to apply an additional 5% off the sale price. Both the standard white and translucent green variants are sharing the same discount for a tasty saving of 5 bucks. Not bad for the recently released Nintendo Switch controller.
UK shoppers can expect a similar Amazon discount, too. However, you’ll need to check the 10% voucher box here to bring the price from £39.99 to the sale price of£35.99. However, it’s worth noting that only the white variant of the controller bears the discount option here, which is a bit of a shame.

The GameSir Nova is certainly a recent contender to be one of thebest Nintendo Switch controllersyou can buy. In my4 star review, I discussed how much I loved the retro aesthetic of the gamepad, paired with some lovely RGB lighting wrapped around the analog sticks' circumference.
By far the standout feature for me, though, was the fantastic implementation of HD Rumble, which lends the Nova an almost haptic-like feel. It’s an excellent controller for games likeSplatoon 3andMarioKart 8 Deluxe,then. If you don’t play on Nintendo Switch, though, the controller is also compatible with PC as well as Android and iOS devices.
